Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Wow, intense. Nice pace, nicely understated, allowing the shock to bear itself out. Main character has a great voice, good sense of humor. I really appreciated the light touch in the narration, rather than putting too much energy into certain details or actions like some writers might be tempted to do. This is a great standalone, though it strongly suggests prior and later episodes. Very well done.
Author's Response: Thank you for reading and leaving a review. I'm glad you enjoyed it. This one was more self indulgent than my other recent stuff so that's probably why the voice felt so strong. When I'm at my strongest writing, that lack of seriousness creeps into the narration. I feel like whenever I try to write too "seriously" my stuff starts to lack flavor. It's why none of my "fantasy" stories have ever really taken off, because I lose my voice along the way while trying to worldbuild and take everything too seriously.
Thanks for your kind words.
