I have reached this chapter. Your attention to detailed descriptions is amazing! The visual I get while reading is due to your creative ability to include so many nuances and that's for just about every paragraph! Nothing boring here. So are you about the age of this character? My son would be of the Tupac generation. The Xbox and Nintendo's just beginning to take hold and other era references. I'm out of 6's, but you so deserve one for each chapter. But come Sunday, I'll read more when I get refreshed-haha! xoxo

Hi there;
This was a very interesting read. I especially enjoyed your presentation - the picture is real and the drawing is the abstract concept of the shadows. Good use of dialogue to move the story along. I look forward to reading more,

Comment from sunnilicious
I like the story, however, the details seem excessive. The story is about starting college, however, I am unsure what is important to remember. The visual imagery created was creative and strong, which is memorable. However, the story is too cluttered.
I would advise an edit based on theory writing of the 5 W's and sometimes How, especially to cut the details.

Hi there,
Another gripping instalment.
marred only by the comments of disapproving parents claiming, "That's not music." - ah yes, every previous generations lament...
The narration in this feels very Twilight Zone like. Very atmospheric. It moves in sweeping motions, very much like a camera.
homesick can be one word.

Thank you again! :) I purposely tried to convey the panning of camera angles here to try and capture the atmosphere of moving into the dorms. I think you were the only one who caught that :)
thank you again for your continued attention.
Have an awesome week!
:)

Excellent writing here. I like how your wonderfully vivid description in the passage below, is cleverly portrayed in Eu El's thoughts and character development in the ensuing paragraphs.
Excellent.
It is there we turn our attention to the second booth from the right, where a young girl is casually seated. She is dressed in a black business outfit. Her straight black hair, just touching her shoulders, is softly pressed against the phone's speaker, where her ear is slightly covered. Her exotic eyes tell an untold story of a foreign land, where many are familiar with, but few ever visited. She exhibits motions that are more mature and sophisticated as compared to the other girls her age; every moment of laughter is conservatively covered by her free hand. From behind the clear booth door, her conversation is inaudible.
Neither the shadow, or(nor; neither always goes with nor, and either goes with or) Eu El, realizes that the chapters of their fate will soon also overlap.

Hi there. Very mysterious reading. I'm quite intrigued. Great writing! The pace was slow and brought a bit of the scariness you were describing. Well done!

Good beginning. I can't wait to find out what the shadow is, who it was, or where it came from.
The last couple of paragraphs are the best.
Hope your birthday was great!

Awesome! Thank you. Yes! I purposely built up the setting slowly to introduce the moving in to the dorms. Eu El is now in his young adult stage...more mature physically and mentally. And, along with his growth, so are his powers from previous chapters.
He now will encounter a new shadow that will test both his morals and perception of reality.
Thank you for a six! You got me inspired!
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
These places often have ghosts of the past and memories can be dark but often mythical and because these homes are temporary and transient, more souls seem to remain, food for thought here, love Dolly x
