Wow.

First, out of the way - I really agree with the narrator here. Perhaps there are many like us who do, ah - but this piece hit very close to home, twice. I didn't know anyone in the Beslan crisis, but the metro bombing (2010) I had a distant relative injured in. And then I was hit again very hard by the ending - which.... See the first line? Ibid. Wow.

For once I feel as if anything I say'd be needless prattling that only detracted from the piece itself, but I'm going to try anyway. Were these pictures actually included in some version of Mario Kart Arcade GP? I could literally imagine this to be the case - the story hit the perfect wall between just real enough to seem surreal, or perhaps the opposite.

Gods, I literally don't know what else to add - the nature of the way the essay is written, the damp, oppressive feeling of the text, the themes - this is fantastic, Prawn. A camellia for you - the meaning is what I feel for this story. I may try to add more later, but for now - fantastic job.
