That was absolutely chilling. I'm speechless. There was a certain eerie kind of inevitability to the whole story that made it all the more intense and horrifying. You did a wonderful job with the characterization of both Jack and Sawyer - and that last sentence. Wow. Great work.

Thanks. I really like the idea of the eerie inevitability working -- it's not something I was necessarily cultivating here, but I'm a bit fascinated by it lately.

Your icon is awesome, by the way.

Oh, spooky and scary. I kept thinking of zombies for some reason.

I have to agree--that last line was great.

Zombies, interesting. I had a bit of the movie 28 Days Later in mind while I was writing, maybe that's where the zombies psychically came from?

Thanks for reading this.

ow.

my goodness that was dark. but good

hurt in the good way, even if it wants you to go in a corner and rock back and forts. it went from funny to total despair so smoothly.

But the answer to his call was a sharp, brutal sound. A gunshot. And he fell.

I'm glad it was the good kind of dark. Thanks for reading this.

This is exactly what I needed at the exact right time; I've cried my eyes out over it, and life in general, but I wasn't about to let life make me break down, no matter how much of a relief I knew it would be. So, thank you, on many levels, for posting this ( ... )

*clings*

Thank you for going there with me, and I'm glad it helped you in some small way.

I love what you say about Sawyer here. It's absolutely how I feel about him. There's so much inside him that if he's aware of, he actively fights and denies.

the question of what sort of man he might have been if not for Mr Sawyer is an interesting one. The assumption is that he could have risen to greater heights, but I wonder. He's so much the man he is because of that -- without the struggle, perhaps he would only have become the sort of man Sawyer seems to be on the surface, lazy and unheroic, without any of the depth in him we love.

I mean, even the "good guy" Jack, he is who he is because of or in spite of his father's abuse. On the other hand, the idea that suffering is good for us is kind of repugnant, isn't it? So I'm not sure I want to believe it.

Look at that, you made me think. ♥
