Agh! This is so strange! But I’m hooked, please continue!

She’s a little sharper than I thought.

I agree with Lone Writer, this is bizarre but I am compelled to keep reading.
One thing bothered me here: where the heck is Cindy Lou going to get makeup? Now, I know the theme of the story is crazy, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t have its own logic to it. Better to write that your narrator had bought some makeup along with the clothes.

I liked the detail about forgetting to buy shoes, yet he remembered to get make-up

LoA

Did he? ;)

Well, you specifically write that he bought her clothes, and that she “put on light makeup somehow,” so the connotation here is that she produces this makeup seemingly out of nowhere. As I wrote before, I recognize this is fantastical, but you still need to maintain a logic inherent to the narrative.

Well, the mystery about it is actually intentional. When you get right down to it, I don’t say where the comb came from either. :) It’s meant to be puzzling, she’s supposed to have a touch of mystery about her.

(I originally had “he had no idea where she’d gotten them” or words to that effect in there to make it more explicit, but they had to go for the sake of the word count. Maybe they shouldn’t have.)

This is so weird, he is dating someone that lives inside him… yet I want to read the sequel!
LoA

Yep. Many guys only date someone that sticks out of them. He’s just gone a step further. :)

(Not that I’ve ever actually come out and said whether the protagonist is male or female, however…)

Oh my god, I’m convinced now it’s a female. That would make the make-up and comb seem more plausible…

This changes everything!

:D

Well, I’ll tell you. I’ve left it neutral this far just so people would have an easier time identifying with the character, just like in choose your own adventure books. (And also, once I get in a habit, I find myself loath to break it. I’m funny that way.)

To my mind he is male, but if someone else wants to imagine herself as the protagonist, she can be my guest. :)

wow, this girl is smart….. keep going….

Oh dear, I’m praying it’s a guy. I don’t think this series can handle another weird twist lol.

I totally agree with flute faerie on this one….

I’ve reconsidered. Cindy Lou would make a great girlfriend. She knows your narrator inside & out.

speechless…… again…….
