RE: Finish the Story Contest - WEEK #39! A Thousand Windows

in #fiction6 years ago (edited)

I must say that, at the beginning, I was a bit annoyed by your ending because it seemed to indulge in ethnic stereotypes (no doubt with a fund of truth, but still stereotypes), then the story captured me and I wondered where that false passive-aggressive courtesy from relatives led. In the end I got chills, because this dream seemed very similar to many I dream, halfway between warnings of my subconscious and guilt removed for something I did or did not do. Bravo, as always!

im vehemently against racism and all forms of oppression. I based that comment off jokes I've heard from an Armenian friend and a Georgian friend. Sometimes writing a shitty character requires us to say shitty things. we shouldn't assume showing horror is the same thing as promoting its content.
