I like the imagery. Using the actual 'knife' and then 'light shading', again' crimson red', and then 'real blood', sways this piece between reality and fantasy, in the way the end still can not wake you up from this dream and reality penumbra.
Strong statement.

Very deep and interesting

Goose bumps are what raised as I felt the:
- Tremors
- incision
- imperception
- hidden dark horror of trailing life

Well done on this.

I am genuinely sorry I missed this one; the imagery is absolutely superb.

Well done and all the best as ever,

Ben

I agree, the imagery here is stunning and while being a relatively short write, this was extremely effective. :)

this is short but oh so sweet! such a good piece!
