Part two of my story 'Fear and Desire'. Once again, it is marked Moderate for strong language in places.
Not offended! Thanks for the comment. I think everyone has their own style, their own feelings and experiences that comes through in their writing. So, in that sense, I don't think there is a 'normal'. :)
I'm glad you're enjoying this story. It's not quite as polished as AaO in my opinion, but it's something a little closer to home, so to speak :3
cool, and seriously, 'normal' is 'things that are the same' and, well, nothing is the same as everything else.
ergo: normal cannot exist, and everything is weird, so that makes being 'Weird' being 'Normal'
lol philosoparadox (philiosophic paradox) :P
ah... so it's based... off your own experiences?
if so, I hope you weren't on the receiving end of all that brutality in part 3...
or do you mean this is a more 'realistic' story compared to AAO?

finally read this.
gotta say, I'm liking this, I don't usually like stories about this 'era' (the stereotypical partying young adult type is my reference, so forgive me for being ignorant), but honestly, this is quite a quality piece of writing.
definitely gonna keep reading this mini-series :)
I dunno... there's just something about your writing style that's better than other stuff I've read... I can't place it, but it could be that you go beyond politically correct guidelines to create a 'literary artwork' ... maybe it's because you're 'different', not 'normal' (not an insult) ... you're.... interesting.
normal people.... they're boring. you, you're... well, you're not boring in the least.
(that's something about me, I like 'Weird' people, and I never mean it as in insult in conversation, because without people who're 'different', the bland, boring, 'normal' people would be bored to death... so, I'm sorry if you're offended by my calling you 'not normal', but I think normal is overrated, it's more fun to be an individual rather than just another face in the crowd...)
in any case, this story is pretty good. gonna read the next bit when I can find the time.
(sorry for such a long comment...)
