[Objective]

Adverse - Really enjoyed your opener couplet, the following couplet put everything to a halt for me tho.

"In a room that once danced with liveliness, I’m confronted by the shadows
Trying to shed the skin of a lover n a husband, but I can’t though"
^I felt like "can't though" and "shadows" is too far attached from each other to create a good enough sound that flows with it. "Shadow" without the s at the end makes it sound better but the meaning is gone. Idk, too much of a nursery rhyme for me.

Aside from that you paint a descriptive story and follows it really well. Definitely a man in conflict with himself as bad as it can get, violent and couldn't find any other way to end this madness than offing himself. Really well told and I like where you went with the topic given, creative and interesting.

Inno - Straight forward story following the steps and mindset of a serial killer. There were some hiccups here and there while reading that kinda distracted me from the overall feel of the verse, take this for an example: "as i peak my attention to the each clue this paper wrote", "to the each clue" sounds a bit weird, ye? And this one: "ill never for get her", had to re-read that one quick as well, stuff like that will hurt you in close match ups. That said tho, cool read and a good showing for sure.

Vote - Adverse, felt his story was a bit more captivating along with better resolution at the end altho Inno's open ender makes me want to read more. I enjoyed Inno's approach as well but felt Adverse's piece as a whole is enough to snatch the vote. Good shit from both, keep writing.
