Universe- Urrg. The fact that there are people out there who actually do stuff like this hammered the feel of horror home. This was vivid, shocking imagery in places that really pushed the envelope but also really got the point across. You always bring clever wordplay and vivid imagery in the stories you tell, making this easy to read but paradoxically hard because of the subject matter being discussed. Perfect connection to the topic. Strong rhyme scheme, nothing forced. Great work.
Razah- Damn, am I glad you signed up for this. You took a straightforward take on the topic but you laced it with great philosophical musings and compound rhyme scheme which never faltered or felt forced. Great sense of flow and easy to follow despite the sophistication of the subject matter being discussed. It's a shame you weren't here for the season; I've got no doubt you'd have been swimming at the top of the league.
Fuck, this was hard to call. Battle of the week in my opinion. Both had great takes, great sign offs, strong rhyme schemes, one was a great (and disturbing) story, the other a great philosophical debate. Aaaaaahhhhh....
Vote- Universe, just edged it with a more creative topic.
I wouldn't be surprised if this went back and forth a lot. Excellent job gentlemen.
