I don't think you NEED any more detail, man. You gave me chills. You're evoking the right kind of horrific details here; the ones that we don't want to look at but can't help seeing. That's a lot different than just going for shock value. Oftentimes, true tragedy is a lot plainer than the gory stuff. It's the difference between the creeping horror of a nightmare (in a good way) and being scared when someone yells "boo!"— October 2, 2009 1:58 p.m.

Heavy, Pete, real heavy. Way to not mince words or beat around the bush. Nothing hides truth like euphemisms and your directness is in your favor.— October 2, 2009 1:13 p.m.
Everybody always wants to throw glass in stone houses and, sooner or later, someone's going to lose an eye!
Gringo: Thanks for that! I like the idea of leading v. misleading. The one, a gentle, subtle guiding of the reader, the other, an unwanted manipulation. I think it works. SD: I actually would prefer to cite the voice of Borges himself as playing with the boundaries of fiction. The "Quijote" sprang to mind because the voice of the narrative borrows so heavily from the traditions of non-fiction, historical writing and it becomes clear that we are supposed to sus out the 'truth' of that story in some way or another, hazy as it may be. Anything from "A Universal History of Iniquity" might be a better example, or the delightful piece on the encyclopedia of Tlon. And what about any of the stories which end with some "author's" name and a supposed date of writing?— October 2, 2009 12:14 p.m.

Three shall be the number of the counting, and the number of the counting shall be three!
Actually, to get webtechnical about it, snarfhund best translates to "dog who goes around and grabs posts with good numbers" EX: Comment #100 would equal a "Century Snarf"— October 2, 2009 11:29 a.m.
