Having done a degree in philosophy myself, this short story has an almost uncomfortable resonance with me. The amount of knowledge (and I use the term with caution!) out there defies comprehension - and its so easy to drown in it.

Wonderfully written; you really are a master of the tragedy genre. And I'm keeping an eye out for the next chapter of CC - *wink wink nudge nudge*

Your writing is all so beautiful. I admire you just like this one person I knew who has stopped writing and its a shame. This story was poetic and every word fit perfectly like a puzzle.

Please review the story I am about to write now. I doubt it will be as good as your writing though.

Ah! I love Herma Mora

An educatad and philosophical protagonist? Dusty, worm riddled and moldy texts? A supernatural twist? Forbidden knowledge? Infinity? Ultimate Answers? SOMEONE's been reading into dear old HPL, it seems...

Do review my edited stories on The Joke's on Mundus!I value your criticism!

And bring out that update to A Crimson Conspiracy. I'm sure I speak for many when I say : Pronto!!

Poet, philosophical, dark, entertaining, ironic, thought-provoking, EPIC. Everything you could ask for in a short story and more. They words just flowed seamlessly all the way through. Just enough detail to give us a basic design, but enough was left to imagination to keep it interesting. LOVED the ending, LOVED the them, loved everything about it. One of the best shorts stories I've ever read.
