unusual (impressive) use of "you" in a narrative. loved the prose and didn't see the end coming. well done. writing like these in the editor's mailbox.. now i understand why i never heard from selangor times. hehe.. ;P
Yes, this type of narration is rare, but I like how it's used here. The story is unsettling and the prose has a special kind of fluidity; well played into the story. Smart metaphors.
Excellent stuff I would love to read more of lee's work, a definite talent :)
wow.

Thank you. Second person (you') is rarely used, so I thought I'd give it a go.

ReplyDeleteWhat a writer! Great control of pace, atmosphere and the ending devastates!
ReplyDeleteGreat short piece! A little science fictionish (is there is such a word...) in its themes and styling.
ReplyDeleteGreat story!
ReplyDeleteWow, is this the new face of Malaysian literary fiction? I say bring it on!
