"Excellent...for some reason, it reminds me of "Yellow Ledbetter" [Pearl Jam]. I suppose because with the song and the story, your imagination can make it about whatever it wants. Except, with Yellow Ledbetter, it is only because I have no idea what the f*** Eddie Vedder is saying...With ...And Everything Goes Black, it is because the combination of robust imagery and strange allusions to Pi, Dreams, Pointlessness, and getting kneed in the crotch leave the reader with the obligation to fill in the blanks. Bravo! *Commences fruity golf clap*" -- Tyrant.
"Nice one Darcy. The more you (the writer) got into this the smoother it was to read. At first it felt as though you were trying too hard to be a writer rather than telling us a story. Let me give an example. (Describing sex) "Moving rather rhythmically." Why did you put the 'rather' in there? To me it reads as an appology. As if you don't trust your writing. You are going well describing the intimacy of the sex scene, and then maybe somewhere in your mind you wonder if it's too strong, so you soften it, make it passive and appologise to the reader for writing from the heart. Okay that's only one word in one place but you used 'Rather' as a pacifyer several times and 'Very' too. Other than that and you may well disagree with me and feel that it reads better with them, I think this is a belter. Your imagination is excellent and you tell a good tale once you relax into it." -- Sooz, Dalton, Cumbria, England.
