Hush - I enjoyed the literary tools you used in this story a lot more than the actual content. It's the rather stereotypical computer nerd, fits the picture but isn't really engaging on a higher level. The writing itself, however, is very well done. Great use of metaphors, punchlines and painting a vivid picture of a depressed and anxiety ridden person escaping life with pc/internet. Definitely a good read, do think you could have done more with it tho.
Ullr - Quite visual in language, enjoyed the story quite a bit. A classic tale of love lost but how man can't live without it, and thus ends it all dramatically. Kind of a predictable piece in that regard seeing the topic given but its execution and how you're driving the story forward is what brings it home for me, and what I felt you managed to do better than Hush in this regard.
Vote - Ullr. Hush was more entertaining but Ullr's story along with language captivated my attention in a different way and snatched my vote. That said, thoroughly enjoyed the read of both verses tho, good battle.
