I am glad that you liked it, even though it was longer than it should have been! Thanks for taking the time to wade through and send a review. I appreciate it!
Wow, this was amazing! I agree with awkward_ostrich; I think this is my favorite story of yours (so far!)
George's descent was introduced in such a perfect and gradual way that it was moving without being stark. The ending was simply fantastic; I love the idea of him getting lost in the melody. It saddened me though, to think of him as having forgotten almost everything but his passion for the music.
I also liked the descriptions of Peter; he seems like quite a nice man, and was a good minor character.
Anyway it's hard for me to express just how much I liked this piece, but know I found it fantastic and think you've done a great job :)
Thanks Vyv! You know I am such a big fan of yours, so compliments from you mean a great deal! I was worried that everyone wold go with music or the theater with the prompt of "cue", so I am glad that mine still manages to impress. I have to get out there and get some reading done! Thanks for taking the time to get to mine in this big field of competitors! I am glad that you liked it.
Thank you; I am glad that you liked it! I swear, I always think the prompt is the hardest yet, and then I see the next week's. So, I thought I was struggling with "Cue", but now I am really in trouble with Week 2...
So beautiful, and so moving. I love this piece very much. Your flowing descriptions on his conditions were incredibly vivid. Specially on the shifting fog of memory and on his denial. Just beautiful. The details in this piece, incredible and real. Wow.
I feel for George very much. Alzheimer's is very hard to deal with, one is losing one's mind slowly. And it's even harder on the people around them. Your piece captured all of this strife and delivered it with such a personal view-point that I just wanted to go and hug George.
At the end, where he suddenly forget how to conduct was harrowing. Music had been his only solace, and he even was losing his memory of that one sanctuary. It was a gorgeous ending, and a gorgeous piece. One of my favourites of yours. Brilliant work <3
Aww, thank so much. You always have the nicest things to say! I really appreciate that you took the time to give such an in-depth review about exactly what you liked and why. You have just really made my day.
I can't tell you how much I send thanks for you taking the extra time to go back through and re-edit. I know that my piece fell through the cracks and was in that weird limbo space this week, so I thank you greatly for the favor. I would never turn away the huge words of praise you sent, either. I am glad that it touched you. Thank you so much for taking the time. It means a lot to hear from a fellow writer of your quality how much you liked it!
