LJ Idol Season 7, Week 4 - The Elephant in the Room.

Although she did not have hold of it physically, she could still feel its shape in her hands... the reassuring squareness of a twelve-inch extended play single on vinyl in its cardboard jacket and paper sleeve.

[I absolutely love you. And I'm absolutely sane.]

A memento, un momentito, of a hard-bought-with-blood escape from a glass house

Nice twist here. AW

[n_maranda_coy]

Thanks! I could have made it longer, but the twist might have gotten buried that way.

I love your little vignettes. You can tell that you're incredibly well read - you have a way with words that's very flowery and descriptive yet succinct at the same time.

[n_maranda_coy]

My only "strategy" this time around in Idol is to use shorter works earlier on, while we've still got a huge crowd of contestants. I'll be able to open up into lengthier pieces later, should I make it until "later".

[n_maranda_coy]

And, before I forget my manners, thank you for the kind words. [I have difficulty accepting compliments gracefully.]

Tragic and chilling. You feel sympathy for him and want to smack her.

Well written.

[n_maranda_coy]

Very interesting [and valid] perspective, although one still doesn't know what she was escaping from. Ambiguity was my aim.

[myrna_bird]

Uh. Didn't expect that twist. Nice.

[n_maranda_coy]

Glad it moved you.

Simply beautiful.

[n_maranda_coy]

Thank you!
