A Certain Shade of Melancholy

Nobody here but us chickens.

Ohey, Kyle. Great to see you writing again!

Beautiful prologue. I can't wait to see what the rest will be like.

 Spoiler

Typo: She's far too beautiful of a woman...

Readan'. Seems familiar of a theme. Can't quite recall from where though.

Empty space.

Vincent is living the dream. Damn you Kyle. Thanks for making my life feel even more meaningless.

Go go, Harlow.

[x] Harlow

Tough first choice, I want to know all of their back stories!

Gonna go with Harlow, if only because I'm curious how the seemingly out of place first paragraph ties in to the rest of the story. Is it a nightmare or hallucination? Does it take place in the past/future?

Tough first choice, I want to know all of their back stories!

Before reading this, I want to make clear I find this setting really cool. Like... A mixture between the movies Wall-e, Minority Report and Max Payne (thinking about the drug usage and whatnot).

This excites me the theme is beautiful. Its quasi sci-fi but it has a moral message underneath, and I already get that. Cant wait for more, Felix.

Space that is now empty.

Harlow needs to be introduced. Like Dyxanije said, back stories are always nice to know.

On a side note, futuristic stories often fascinate me. Very good wording with the dialogue and the description of humanity!

 Spoiler

Is My Life Is [A Never Ending Story] officially dead now? Is it ever coming back, Kyle? Not saying you should stop writing this, it's great, but I'm kind of curious if you've completely given up on the story. Even if it is, your writing never disappoints me.

The setting made me think about The Fifth Element for some reason.



Umm... I guess I'll pick

[x] Mikayla

[X] Thompson

Just to pick on those who chose Harlow, I don't see why he should be introduced next. In my opinion, it's too early to be jumping back and focusing on a character that we caught a glimpse of so early on.

To defend my stance, then, I think that Thompson should be the next character to receive a cameo because his story seems so much different than those that have already appeared. That and his story seems much darker: a good contrast to what we've seen so far.

Extraordinary writing, man.

[x] Mikayla

She seems like the person who could further enlighten me most on the details of this furturistic setting.

Good to see you writing again, Felix.

Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.

Adelaide. I want to see how you handle this.

I keep thinking Harlow needs a Fight Club now.

[X] Mikayla

Seeing as how Harlow's introduction dealt more with the concept of drugs than expected, I will choose Mikayla to be previewed next. Thompson's "theme" seems a little too close to the one in Chapter 2 for him to appear now.

Android Affairs...hm...

[x] Mikayla

I want to learn more about the androids.

[x] Mikayla


I can already picture her looking glum at her job and then coming home and wondering how long she can continue to deal with all her problems.

What does a dreamer dream of when society has achieved "perfection?"

I was home on the computer all day and can't believe it took me this long to realize you updated. ;__;
