Oh Sam...you stupid kid :( I can see him doing this though, unfortunately. Like what you did there, like the juxtaposition of the red and the white 'spent everyday since looking at white and thinking of red.' Excellent :)

Thank you very much!
I'm glad you liked it :D

The explosion/description of colours and their associations was a wonderful approach to this fic. Well written and thought provoking and so I found this a great piece of work.

Thank you:)
I wasn't sure it would work so I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Oh, it's definitely my cup of tea. I did enjoy, thank you. ;)

Lovely imagery; all the descriptions of colour are vivid and detailed. :) I also liked the part where you describe the doctors bursting through the moment like cops in a raid because that's what Sam used to do and it's just a sad reminder of how far from that he is in your fic.

Thank you!
I know, I was trying to come up with an appropriate simile and I thought "how would Sam picture it?" and so "like cops" was kind of inevitable. I'm glad the contrast worked :D

Wow, that is so well written! The imagery is really striking and while I knew what he was going to do it still came as a bit of a shock.

Vicious Van Gough is an awesome character. I find myself liking and hating him with equal measure.

And I just love the tone of it all; sarcastic and dark and just really, really entertaining. I guess it reminds me of me when I get angry about stuff, though not quite as angry as poor Sam, hehe!

Overall, wonderful. I'm adding this to my memories for sure. :D

Oh wow, thank you!
I'm glad it came as a slight shock, shows you were into the story (or that's how I choose to see it hee:D)

Vicious is lovely! In a hideous, twisted and sadistic kind of way of course, but the point remains.

I was trying to subject some of Sam's character into the writing, though I'm not sure that really worked. I'm glad you like it anyway!

Thanks again for the wonderful comment! :D

Oh this was wonderful! Excellent descriptive imagery! I agree with everyone else, the way you expressed things through colors was just brilliant. Very dark humor, which I absolutely love. I could definitely see this happen to Sam and it sent lovely chills up my spine. Awesome work!
