don't run away just yet! this one's only three pages ! and it stars an invisible purple blob ! i wrote this little sci fi story for a zine/storybook in toronto. it's awkward in spots but is pretty much a playful aphex twin song in story form. you can if you want. |

hahahah! optimus: am i right in guessing your name's josh? anyway, i read the story, it felt like it was going somewhere, and then it just stopped. I did enjoy some of the surreal descriptive passages, i may read it again. |

I liked that. Seemed a bit rushed, but I like the style. Maybe a bit more focus would be in order. It feels like you are trying to say 100 things in every sentance,. |

the story actually wasn't rushed, though i agree that it seems like it. i was just asked to do something very sci fi and very bizarre within a limit of three pages. the previous story, seven lucky gods, would be a better example of my writing as there wasn't any such restriction. |

you could write as much as you want on 3 pages, you just have to change the font size. |

it was for a zine. |

I couldn't read beyond the line The more menacing of the police robots, grey turtles about the size of freight trucks, were rushing past like a herd of elephants Too many comparative things in one sentence, something that's like a turtle that rushes past like an elephant (how does that work?), that's the size of a freight truck. |

haha, yeah, that's awful. |

Ha! Sorry, I know sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees, so it is good to get other people to read through stuff for you, well, as you already know of course. |
||||||||

indeed, i'm trying my best to get people to do that. :p |

one VERY minor thing: "To reach school he took the subway station, and all he had to do to reach the subway station..." should it read: "to reach school he took the subway, and...." ? |

thanks a lot for bringing that up. i'll be making changes to the story later. |
