Thanks. It's an awesome awesome movie.

Oh, geez, arranging the body like that? Riddle as a total psycho, which is what he is, but we almost never see him truly like that in fanfic. Sorry, incoherent, but wow, very well done drabble. *shivers*

Thank you. I normally wouldn't characterize Riddle that weirdly, but this particular drabble asked for it, for some reason.

What a wonderfully descriptive piece! It's one thing to describe what someone does, but to use it to create a mood like this one, wow.

I think the implicit sexuality in your drabble really emphasizes some kind of psychotic pleasure Tom gets from his "business." (Hopefully I'm not the only one who thinks it seems sexual...)

Thank you :D I usually don't write extremely descriptive prose because I tend to get cliche and boring after awhile, so it's nice to know that one of the few times I did it worked.

Don't worry, I thought there was something strangely sexual (in a subtle sort of way that's open to interpretation) about it once I finished and re-read it, so you're not alone.
