Talk:What a Waste/@comment-7706473-20130803100127

Absolutely wonderful.

Literally cannot be more excited I'm going to be in the same anthology as you; I actually went from my original idea to something that (I hope) can viewed as being in sort of a similar setting, half because I feel anthologies should 'mesh' and half because this was just really good.

I'm scared of everything, but the only thing I'm truly scared of at the end of the day is people, and this captures all the myriad reasons why in a heartbeat. I don't usually like excess gore in stories unless it's written well, but this is one of those examples where to me it enhances the superbly nauseous and almost dream-like nature of the story.

A red poppy, for something that was the exact opposite of a waste of time.
