Thank you guys for all the love and kind words and most importantly for taking the time to read and feed this piece. It can't be overstated how much I appreciate your consideration.

OAN

I see what you're saying, Pan. And I can't really disagree. However, I think (in terms of perspective) it's important to keep in mind that almost all of my topical pieces are challenges. Thus, the fiction driven subject-matter is usually the by-product of a topic I was given within the context of a battle. I didn't just wake up one morning and say "Ayeee, I'm gonna write a tale about some ancient demon that dwells below". Instead, this, like a lot of my pieces, was spawned from an objective given to both me and an opponent. If the objective prescribed would have been of the sentimental, spoken word, introspective and/or whatever other variety, than the content penned would have followed suit. I just say all that to say this. The Netcees free-flowing, stream of consciousness, everyday plight sort of style, although brilliant and impressive, isn't something foreign to how I normally write. Again, nearly everything posted here to date has been inspired by writing competitions. However, when I write to "just write" The content and angles produced are often much much different. Hopefully that makes sense. In any case, I respect and value your opinion and thanks for checking out my stuff. Whenever you post something new the favor will be returned.
