Yes, precisely! I think that unless the nature of a story relies on the description of the protaganist, leaving them neutral and easy to transpose on is an excellent way to draw the reader in; and then, if you have then/later have a very *vivid* narrator, it contrasts wonderfully. One of the few times a silent or ambiguous narrator can be a really good design choice, to my mind... Anyway, we have a similar vibe about the surgeon, and that vibe is that they're a cool person, waha!

And I've gotta say, bloodshed done right is one of my favorite... Hobbies? Pasttimes? Literary devices? I don't know. A rare and treasured treat, there we go. There was just something so rewarding to the reader for the reasoning at the end... Great stuff!

Mmn - sometime, I would like to explore the idea of societal constructs... In a creepypasta. It would probably take a better writer then myself; I feel IdealisticPrawn did a pretty good job of doing so in his recent story Camtest02, but I guess I want to explore why we feel so good when justice is taken into the hands of an indvidual... Anyway, you're quite welcome, aha - it's always a pleasure!
