I'm glad you liked it! I was pretty happy about the way it turned out, but I didn't know if you'd be put off by the 'cutting' aspect of it.

Also, would you mind if I friended you?

I need to read again too, now that I got the whole picture. Very interesting fic, unusual and -- I liked that you alternated between vague, poetic, dream-like descriptions (demon marking scene) and more realistic ones (classroom, library etc). It made you feel the difference between the real, solid world and this spiritual mystical aspect

[kodak_85]

I meant for the story to be confusing in that you don't know if the demons are real, or just all in their head, a byproduct of insanity.

I'm glad you liked it :) Did you know that I wrote this when you first read it?

wow. just wow. words can't even start.

Absolutely creative, disjointed, intense and witty all at the same time. Enough damage for impact, but not too much that it's overwrought. Great food for thought.

I loved the fragmentation of time. It fits perfectly with being always tired throughout the day (i've had to many of them). The prose and run on lines is amazing especially this:

"The strange feeling only intensified as Naruto took his seat in front of him and then, amazingly enough, startled babbling at him like they were close friends. About how cold it was, wasn’t it still summer really? And here was his coffee, he liked it black, didn’t he? Why did Sasuke drink it like that, at least put a packet of sugar in it you bitter prick. "

I have an idea of who you may be, and if i'm correct it doesn't surprise me at all. I really look forward to reading more of your work.

As of now I'm off to reread this again.

Haha, was I who you expected?

Thanks for reading!

I absolutely knew it'd be you, sections of this really corresponded to your last chapter of Dentes (disjointed, fragmented, run on lines). :D I absolutely loved this, keep up the awesome work!
