if you're going to use a comma between "certain tube" and "specific needle", then the sentence should be "certain tube from here, a specific needle from there". otherwise, take out the comma.

in general, it's much better than the first time around.
I'm still a bit clueless on the surroundings, and the bed kind of seems to grow out of the ground, but if that confusion and disorientation is what you're going for, then it's fine.

I noticed you used the word "tube" pretty often -- or at least often enough to think that you used it a lot. perhaps some variation would be nice?


      Oh wow. 0.0 I didn't even notice.
      I thought I fixed that first mistake. Whoops.

      I thought with the description saying it looked like a hospital room, the general atmosphere would be established.

Free-write. really, I do that for ten minutes a day at the very least. I find it really fun to look at what i wrote the next day and draw inspiration from it.

Would anybody be willing to Critique my short Story? Here is the link to it: viewtopic.php?f=57&t=1326861
Apologies folks! I'm on a bit of a hiatus for I don't know how long.

I'm going to be taking a break from Chickensmoothie for a while.. I don't know for how long. Anywhere from a few days to a few months. I'm sorry. My story The Red Glove will be postponed till I return. I hope this isn't considered spamming, but I wanted to thank you all for making me smile on this thread of writers and readers x3. Thank you.
