I like the descriptiveness. I usually don’t get into such stories, but I kind of liked this one. I like your style of writing.

I liked the mood of this piece, foreboding though it is. I find myself both sympathizing with and fearing Gordo. One of your more interesting characters.
LoA

Unfamiliar was likely pretty. I feel like difficult times are ahead for poor Gordo. Will he be a victim or a monster, with all he’s been through. Very dark character. You almost feel sorry for him.

Wow, I loved the contrast. I am very interested in finding out where this goes.

I had to read this slower than normal becuase of the consistent complexity in the narration—which is to say it is chock full of good, dense writing. Do I detect a change of pace from your normal voice? Are you trying a new style? On to the next one…

Love this, and I admit, I started at the back and worked my way here. (Also admitting that I cheated in the comment challenge, skipping commenting until I got to this one. :D)

Im reminded of frankestein monster for some reason., I backtracked here to read from the start, can’t believe i didnt catch this series from the beginning b4 now.

the scene description gave me the shivers.

I’m starting this series from the beginning. I like this introduction very much. Gordo seems like he could become a very conflicted character, and I’m interested to see what you do with him. One typo, though. I think it should be ”…bespoke a presence…”

This ficlet is very captivating to me. I had to read it slower than most of the ficlets, which means you did a good job with all of the descriptions of what’s going through his mind and where he is. Even who he is for that matter. I can’t wait to see where the rest of this series goes.
