scrapsoflife : Not being a gamer, I didn't expect to 'get' or like this. But I did. I really like the way build the cadence of words. Short bursts of thought and feelings, sights and sounds.
The only thing I might suggest is that in the first part where you use "filled with sensory overload" for both ears and nose you find a different phrase for one of the two. I was just getting into that rhythm of the story when I read the second use of the phrase and it stopped me because I thought I'd reread the line above. I had to stop and check to see where I was, confirm that I didn't read the same part over again, before I could continue. It broke the flow. Something with the same cadence and feeling would take care of that issue very quickly.
This really would be fabulous as a monologue. (27-Mar-07)

Mercy Manic : ************************ SPOILER WARNING!!! ************************
Well done! It makes me sad that this story reminds me of my hometown. Kids who are hardened crimminals before the age of ten were pretty common in Baton Rouge.
The fact that this child can commit murders without flinching, yet is still young/naive enough to not understand why he can't take the gun....
Wow! Disturbing, but really good.
