Tearjerker Tuesday Teaser...Say That Three Times Fast!
I've come to the conclusion that tragedy comes easy for me. I don't know why, but I'm just going to go with it :) This snip picks up where last week's left off. Hope you have tissues handy!
I'm too old to be crying, but screw it, I'm shedding some tears after reading this. Wonderful, wonderful piece of writing. And a what a sad day it is for your MC.
Oh man, so intense and sad :( ... which means I loved it. Especially this part:
"The only tragedy here lay in the fact that you were supremely selfish. I never realized it until just then, but you are the most selfish person I’ve ever known."
Dear lord, Karla! Where do I begin with this, where do I begin? Well, I'd like to point out all the sentences I loved, but that'd take forever! That and the fact that I'm not sure I could fit the entire snippet in this itty-bitty space.
Your writing style is magnificent. Seriously. The way you describe the emotions and actions of your characters--the awesomeness with which you describe these things makes me want to cry!
I loved it all. Really, this piece was great and sad and intense and beautifully written.
More please.
P.S. It's her twin that died??? That's absolutely tragic.
:( very sad.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautifully written. It's intense and heartbreaking and pitched perfectly!
ReplyDeleteWow. Terribly gut-wrenching. :(
ReplyDeleteI love the voice in this and how well you show the MCs anger and frustration.
ReplyDeleteAnd the last line - perfect.
You did a great job showing the MC's inner turmoil here.
ReplyDeleteAwwwww,now I'm sad! The voice so lovely!!

Love that first paragraph. It really sucks you in, and the rest is so sad. Lovely teaser!
ReplyDeleteGuh. I love this part. I don't love so much how I cry every time you send me something :) Orange dino is on his way!
ReplyDeleteI like how she's always talking to the dead character. It really helps me to understand where she's coming from.
