Thank you for your comments! There was a lot of fuzziness I constructed this. There are elements I missed and steps I skipped. I appreciate your remarks and will remember to keep it clear and more complete.
This is the essential question. I have been working at getting the muse to speak and Henry was the name he uttered. What are the black shards? How splintered is his life? Thank you so much!
Very true. I think both of those predictions are true. He desperately needs a fresh start. He will be found. There is no doubt of that. The question is, was Henry at his limit? Or is he just getting started? Thank you!
Well put. Or, as I could also suggest, if four hours can change a person’s life, how much can a lifetime skew the whole world. I really love this idea. 🥰
Who is at fault? The police will certainly find him, but what happened? One person is obviously part of the situation. The other is silenced. I’m relieved the ambiguity came through. Thank you for reading and making such insightful comments!
That is really the fundamental question. Is Henry mentally ill or is he evil? Or do we even know the difference? Tony is certainly a victim, and Henry did it. I like the idea I moved you! Thanks! Henry is the character I hoped he’d be.
The ambiguity is both my fault and my intent. I wanted Henry to be a vague figure. I think I probably missed a few steps that would clarify. That is why we do this! Thanks so much! I’m glad you pointed out my deficiencies. I will fix and move forward! Thank you!
Thank you Cassie! You captured my intent in a nutshell. This is a character sketch, something I’ve been brooding over. Henry isn’t reliable, but I’m not sure he’s dishonest either. He truly believes he isn’t the bad guy. However, Tony was left in the alley for dead and Henry needed to run. Therefore, he hid. Thanks so much!
Isn’t that how it truly is? Those who love us see us as they want us. The picture and form makes our reality. We reform others as we desire. Very well done. Good job! Thanks
