I actually liked the fast pace. It made it more exciting and I can really see the rapid final deterioration of his mind. That said, I thought some things, especially the walls, really needed the extra details you couldn't put in. For example,
My favorite part was the relationship between Jerry and Donna. Really well done. I also liked the dream with Donna and it tricked me into thinking it was real for a few moments. I was thinking, "but this doesn't make sense!" and then I realized it was a dream.
Quote:The walls are all around me. No! Why are they so close? I stare at the lifeless body beneath me. She doesnt look so beautiful anymore Her lips quiver and slowly form in to a new smile. No. It cant be. Why is she still alive? Why wont she stop laughing? Stop it! The walls cave in, and I scream.While this is good overall, I didn't think the walls didn't really had the impact I imagined from the other thread. The way you used it, I felt it should have been repeated a few times and become a recurring theme. Right now, it seems more like an isolated detail and so, the very end with the reference to the walls felt much weaker than it can be.
