Imagery and Glass

With time management, I’ve managed to be on schedule for this short story that I am writing, Shattered Glass. I had a friend read what I’ve written so far, and he said that it was dark and gothic, which is what I was going for. There is blood and violence, but it is more disturbing than just pure gore.

I used a good amount of imagery with this new short story. The imagery used is primarily glass, which connects with the title, but then I went deeper with the ideas of transparency and fragility. Glass is everywhere in the short story, but the ideas are a bit more subtle.

I’ll probably take a week off before participating in another short story contest. Getting older and having a full-time job, it is just so hard to find the time to write and take care of other errands.
