I read Amy Kadmon, if that's the one you meant. Are you
trying to become a professional writer or something? I see
what you mean by this being a "character study" or however
you described it. It seems like practice in fabricating a
real thing from mere imagination and is very successful in
this regard. There is lots of subtle details about her that
make her seem real rather than imagined by a writer.

The only thing I don't really like is that the content is
too every-day normal, but this is only a matter of my
personal preference. I just like weird stuff. What would
have been really cool... is if the story went like it did
but then totally revealed some unexpected twisted demented
pathology in her mind near the end. Like something
extremely wicked she did that she mentions.. burying her
grandfathers decapitated head in her backyard or something..
especially since she stated others think her thoughts are
weird a couple times.

it really felt like it was coming from the mind of an eleven
year old girl. there were a couple sentences that kind of
brought it back to a writer for me, but hey i've never been
nor am i an eleven year old girl. nice work.

p.s. not to try and sway the topic, but have you seen or
played the demo of shadow of the collosus?

wow, terrific comments. thanks w M w and curb.

w M w: in the first draft it begins to venture into an
incredibly strange wonderland type of story, but i found the
writing dropped in quality quite rapidly as a result. i'll
have much stranger stories up this year as consolation.

curb: thanks for the kind words. and yeah, i've been
following that game since it was first announced, since i'm
a *huge* fan of ico. shadow is one of the few gaming
exceptions that i'll allow myself to play when it's
released.

it looks totally, um, colossal.

nice stuff (amy kadmon)! This is like ambient writing, and
though I don't like ambient music all that much, this, as
something completely different, is great!

if you ever get someone interested in making a short movie
of any of your stories, let me know!

(also, as traditions go, I HAVE to tell you that I love the
design of your site, and you have to forward it to the guy
who did the design, and reply to me "yeah, you say that
every time, and I forward it to the guy who did it every
time, and he's happy" or something...)

yeah, you say that every time, and i forward it to the guy
who did it every time, and he's happy.

thank you very much for reading. this is probably the last
ambient story for a while (i have one with a riot in it
coming up soon, it's more of an ambient noise story).

nigel: i got rid of aim since i never really use it.
