This story had me guessing and second guessing the whole ride. It was visually stunning, with an outstanding sense of place. I could easily hear that ominous thunder and smell those bright red poppies. And I could feel a sense of doom and fear and hopelessness with every recollection she had about her father and her best friend. I could sense her agony as she spoke to her mother and listened to her little brother try to work out where that ball had come from. I can't wait for part two!
hi dear @de-rock, your writing is wonderful, your story can be read in one breath! all the characters are very well outlined and the recurring theme of memory and oblivion is very interesting, I will wait for the sequel ;-)) have a good Sunday
Hi @de-rock. I've spent part of the day reading you. I have done it with enthusiasm and very attentive to the story. You have many symbolic aspects and that, friend, is sometimes difficult to digest (in a good literary sense). The atmosphere is often of tension and that is very good to glimpse that lapse of time before dying. It has been very pleasant to read you; This is a great literary work. Regards
Very interesting story! Allegorical to me. I must read it again, but for now I have an understanding of either willful or imposed forgetting, or even a little of both. Predominant and reinforced memories about the father are negative, but the short remembrance she has of him, just before he died, is oddly lovable. Lots of symbolism. For some reason I am flashing on the novel "The Giver". Something about the partial loss of logical reasoning, the ready acceptance, by some, of a deadened life. Maddy lags behind in this. Maybe the deadening happens over time, as evidenced by The Mother. Very intriguing.
