Meeting Jack.

9 thousand words in one day; so if there's a few typos, that's why.

I haven't read the whole thing yet, but the imagry is lovely and crisply conveyed.

The tumblers and the loudness of things for instance.
I have a hard time reading things now after so many words in the world, but I am enjoying this.

Thankyou

Damn, I am sure it is good but I have about 20 seconds left on this computer! Well done for the three words I managed to read though!

amazing.
Just... wow.
Your writing is amazingly descriptive, it feels like I'm actually there.

But, and I feel stupid for asking this, could you explain the life dust to me?
I didn't quite understand that.

I became a bit overwhelmed and was unable to finish it.

But from what I did read, it's very good. I like it a lot. Jack's character is so quiet, even for himself 0.0

I read it right up until the part where they talked about him possibly hurting the baby. Then I decided it wasn't the type of thing I'd like to read at 5AM before going to sleep.
Still, although my family is much less judging as they're all somewhat autistic, I definitely recognise it.

Wow. 8O That was one of the best things I've ever read. You should try to get it published. It could really change people's views on autism (and give them something amazing to read).

Thanks so much for posting it! :D :D :D

lil_sarax: The word's "Meeting Jack" are actually a link. The links on this cite are nearly impossible to tell from normal text.
