I think that this is an interesting character exposition. This might be cool to turn into a little bit more of a character sketch.

Oh, and you can definitely tell it's your style.

Being inexperienced in the technical field of writing, what's a character sketch? It always bugs me to not know the proper stuff about writing.

And how's my style actually? I didn't think that I have any particular style, you know.

A character sketch is really just an examination of the depth of a character. It's sort of a scene, or several scenes that give insight into the mind of a character, without actually delving into other aspects like plot or setting, or other things.

Often there is a little bit of character interaction, but really it's just to highlight some of the character's actions, and not to describe some other character.

As far as style, I think that you have a tendency towards dark humor. There are other things too, but they're hard to describe. Or at least they are when I haven't been up more than five minutes... It's basically like saying a person has read your writings before, and they can read something and say, "Yup, that's like something they would write."
