Brigits_Flame April Entry 01 - Digging

Apr 05, 2009 02:45

A continuation of a story from last month's contest, linked here.

The sound of a demon's flesh, when rent with a barbed whip of sufficient length, is accompanied by a shriek so piercing and so horrible that it cannot be reproduced in human orthography. It is located in the asymptotic trench that separates human tongues from Enochian; people seem ( Read more... )

Oooh, very inventive! This reminds me a little of The Devil's Advocate and Bedazzled for some strange reason or maybe . The torture imagery and Andrealphus' thoughts were great, so descriptive. Fantastic work!

Cheers! Check out the preceding entries to find out why he's in such a scrape; did it stand on its own as an entry, or do you find yourself clawing for context?

I had no problem understanding the context. It very much stood on its own. ^^

Oh, wow! Thanks. That's definitely really important.

Good luck with your entry this week!

Love it!!

kenderlord April 6 2009, 04:02:12 UTC

Brilliant! Thanks.

Your entry this week is sad and beautiful; I retreat into fantasy a lot, because I feel like I don't have the depth of experience to conquer human estrangement.

I wish you luck.

I wish depth of experience did it. In fact, it's that depth that makes me try to be fully present for life, the good the bad and the ugly. Don't think I could have done it when I was your age. I had a lot of wishful thinking back then.

Anyway it's all grist for the writing mill! Fantasy too.

I love these entries. Mona is an awesome character and your writing is witty as always. Good luck this week :).

Thanks kindly! I think I've got one or two more of these left in me and then we'll move on to something else.

Interesting. I remember your other entries and see where this connects. I would like to know what the loophole is...

kenderlord April 8 2009, 04:15:57 UTC

Hee. Keep reading, Michelle! I'll see if I can't come up with something decent to tie it all together.

Excellent imagery. Alas, I've not read the preceding piece, but this definitely stood well on its own. Good luck.

kenderlord April 8 2009, 04:18:36 UTC

Cheers! The best of luck to you, as well, sir!
