Genre -- Horror/suspense. Dystopian, perhaps a little bit?
Rating -- Gen, with angst.
Notes -- This is another one of my 'horror-in-negative-space' ideas. It runs counter in execution to the prevailing trends in horror storytelling, but I'm not entirely sure that's a bad thing from where I stand. I don't know as how I intend this to be frightening, so much as angsty, disturbing, and worrisome.
Feedback -- I'm looking for a finer touch than 'horror', but I'm not sure what horror fans will think of it. Will they be bored? Will they be amused? Will they feel cheated? I dunno. Really, I'm slinging this out to thee, my preview group, to get a sense, if you can give it, of your impressions as you read. I know that to get it down to publishable length, I've got to wring about 1500 words out of it too, so anywhere you feel is cut-able, please do let me know. Other than that, I'd just really like to know what you think about it, if you can let me know.
Tips -- not on this one, it's not done yet.
( Remember me? I used to live for music. Remember me? I brought your groceries in. )
