LJ Idol Exhibit B - Topic 1 - Intersection - "You Gave Everything You Possibly Could"

[witchdollie]

I gave everything.

Mind.

Heart.

Body.

Soul.

Along with that; love, trust, honor, loyalty, and respect.

Everything that was asked for. Everything that was expected. Every single thing for a period of several years.

Yet still, it was not enough. My Keeper had made his decision. Every gift I had given, he was now returning to me.

Oddly, this moment was unlike

Love the underlying darkness and distrust. Clearly, the Ringmaster is not a better choice. The poor girl, so willing to give all of herself.

Thank you. :)

The ruined mascara fits SO well with the rain-washed painting description in the other side of this story. The imagery here was very vivid-- especially the carnival atmosphere and the way its brightness becomes a lie once the audience is gone.

I like that the reader gets the sense of the Ringmaster being sinister, even though the narrator doesn't see it. But the eventual outcome seems inevitable to me. I just don't understand her wanting to live her life this way.

Bringing_words is an awesome writer. I loved working with her.

As for the girl wanting to live her life this way, I think the biggest part of it is that this is all she truly knows. She has never known anything else to exist outside of this life.

You have an amazing gift for description and imagery!

LOVE this! It gives me vibes of Harley Quinn 8D

[witchdollie]

Thank you. :)

There's nothing worse than feeling abandoned, and nothing sweeter than when you meet the person who you think can "save" you. You captured this very well!

[witchdollie]

Thank you. Lucky (or unlucky?) for me, I have experienced both and even within short time of one another. So while one feeling is still fresh, it was easy to remember.
