Dancing...

Dancing, prancing…as I read those menacing words in the text, I realized the pain. The black murmur hidden in my mind is now wide awake, squirming, yet with a calm posture, like the sound of page turning. Mild. Ruffle. Soothing. Scratch, the page breaks.

I knelled down and gather the dust from the pages, softly in my hand. I threw it into the wind. Hopeful transition. Perplexed. Behind me was the shadow, reading, glancing cautiously at the text, those menacing text. Hopeful. I felt the pain again and wanted to leave, far, far away from this room.

    I like the atmosphere, but it remains too mysterious and hence hard to connect with. This is the sort of story that needs more space (and words) to breathe and develop. Have you thought about writing a prequel? Or a sequel?

    I like the dark, mysterious tone to this story. You really don’t know what’s going on, so it leaves you wanting more.
