I’ve been trying to write something fresh and new, but it seems like every time I go to write something, it’s something that’s been said already, so, here goes...
Your style of writing is excellent. It’s poetic, yet concise. The varied sentences keep the interest of the reader and continue to keep things interesting. This adds to the sadness at the end.
I enjoyed the way you wrote your MC. Starting him out as you did, it was a journey along the way, so it was sadder for the ending, after all this struggle. Actually, in this way, it reminds me a little of Blade Runner...
In short... Enjoyed this one, now to read your others.
Wow, so dark. This was an amazing short story. Your writing style is very poetic without being overwhelming. Your sentences are crisp and clear, and yet so complex in a pleasantly artistic way. They're varied too, which is awesome. You don't suffer from any of my major writing pet peeves. So in all, colour me impressed!
I was a little unsure going into this, because I don't normally read things without a little m/m anymore, but this really took me by surprise. Especially the end [I won't elaborate and spoil anything for people about to read it]. It was just beautiful and so friggin sad!
