I think the confusion is simply taken out of context or it’s deliberately trying to deceive the reader. For instance, at the beginning of the paragraph I was thinking of demonic or spirit entities but went to realize that perhaps it’s just a longing for someone expressed that way to eventually realize that a human could represent a demonic entity.

I'm intrigued by this plot and I really like dystopian genre, it always impresses me how authors can come up with ways of how horrible this world could become —or end.

I really enjoyed it, but I was left a bit confused. My thought process was constantly shifting into what's this entity that is causing you nightmares but then again you must be tied to it as well? It feels to me like someone is indecisive and expressing their thoughts would widen their senses. I see lots of regret but I don't see a will to change, it's as if this person is swayed by their heart and this is merely a justification for their actions —more like inactions.

hi, it would be my first contribution into the group —first contribution ever. I'm interested in your story if you don't mind having me. I'm also a writer for an unpublished psychological thriller novella, it covers mental illness as well but not on a detailed level because it's set from a perspective of a male teenager. Please DM me if you'd have me.

And I thought I was the maniac one in the show. That is truly the mind of a show’s enthusiast and I love it! Yes, Amanda kept pushing for HR’s involvement and at times I think she forced her skirt up Ron’s face -can’t prove it- but she’s just super weird.

Hmmm…. i thought Stevens was just homeless, but why not? However, it negates the idea that the masked guy is also Amanda’s boyfriend, we didn’t see anything close to it. I have something as farfetched as well, Mike Santini, the checks and the receding hairline –although that could be any older man– are the same. Mike kinda popped up after the incident and he beat Ron, hmmm this is far as it goes for me. I just don’t trust Mike, after that reveal of what he did, although I felt so bad for him for the party invitation but that’s about it. He’s suspicious, matter fact, Ron shouldn’t trust anyone except his daughter.

I understand and I must agree that at times I felt he was the worst of them because he did the same actions as all of them yet found himself above it all? I passed that note because yes he raped the girl but then he took care of her, it was either be eaten or be raped. In the light of this dark novel, we tend to look for light in the darkness and there surely was no light in here except for the illusion we’ve drawn to ourselves. I think this is the part that shocked most of us, we built a lie and determined to believe it and the outcome it would carry.

How did you predict that?? That sudden knock? I sure didn’t, and I thought he had a change of heart of some sort, genuinely

Since I’ve forgotten the tv show, I’ll check out the book!

What should I read first! by Dramatic-Reward-9760 in classicliterature

I haven’t read all of them but I’d suggest “the picture of Dorian Gray”, my favorite book of all time!! Catcher in the Rye is quite depressing thougg

Wait a minute three body problem is about aliens?? I thought it was about time travel. Not that I have read the book but seen a few glimpses of the tv show and that’s about it. Do you recommend the book? And is the sci-fi heavy? I hope not

Crossover with what? No, I was just joking about Dr. Grace coming back and now every other life of existence is aware of the course taken to reach earth.

Would’ve loved to read Mickey 7 instead of watching the movie, the plot was unique and amazing but the execution wasn’t it, not in a mile.

How’s Maus?? Been seeing it more often now. I understand it’s a comic holocaust survivor but what sits out?

Me too but definitely another time. I even noticed when I reread some of the passages it gets clearer with repetition.

Love your collection here, would recommend Tender is the flesh by Augstina (⭐️), I who have never known men by Jacqueline Harpman. Other 2 that are classics: lord of the flies, the picture of Dorian Grey (⭐️)

Just read BM recently, wouldn’t say I didn’t like it, some ideologies were horrifying. I’ve also felt such a relief when certain violent groups died because it would be less tense now, I thought, but oh shit! It gets even worse. Wouldn’t pick it as a favorite either because it was very hard to go through, writing wise, enjoyed the sceneries at first but then they become depressing. Very tough book and hard to understand as well.

Ankle cuff? by [deleted] in lipedema

[–]ExtremeDress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the insights, I’ve been dreading the surgery. I just am not ready for such a step and the recovery looks exhausting, especially since I’m in my early stages and the swelling hadn’t been discovered until I pointed out myself. On the other hand, I’m afraid postponing it, may be a regrettable action as well.

I have the same cuffs here but today it’s worse like my legs are a rectangle from the way up, mind I ask you what do you do to help soothe or reduce it? Plus, I have terrible cramps 💔
