Reflections

A Dabble...er...what? By:
Reflections
These are musings from the mindset of three people suffering from three different mental illnesses described in exactly one-hundred words. I could tell you but I think you could guess what each is. I created this drabble for the contest. Never done one before but it was an amusing exercise in literature, and reminded me how fun writing could be.

There's a certain desperation to them; a sadness. I really do hope you're not talking from something that happened to you. I really liked them, especially the rhytm your last two had. Will look forward to read your other entry.

each one is interesting and tells a story, but aren't confusing even though they are somewhat abstract. the last two could totally be read to beat music in a candle lit room in the style of John Cooper Clarke's "Evidently Chickentown" (check it out on youtube).

vigilanttoneful,

These three drabbles are interesting and intense.

Good writing!

but if I'm correct -great - I thought all three dabbles were intense but that is the nature of psychotic behavior. The first I thought was PTS, the second, Masochism, and the third manic/depressive.

I hope you're only studying these behaviors, not experiencing.

I think this contest was too restrictive. It's impossible to fail at self expression, but I clearly am incapable of writing an appealing...story, or whatever this turned out to be, in this medium. I hope everyone who reads this doesn't lose faith in me and checks out my mystery contest entry, which I have much more faith in, on the 5th of July 2012

I like the concept, but three different perspectives should have thee different voices.
Also in #2, don't censor yourself. If you're going to write something, write it. If you don't want to write it, don't.
You've got a good start here.

Whoa... that was intense. I loved your semi-poetic way of doing the drabbles. I'm not sure if I'd be able to identify each of the illnesses though (I had a guess for each one, but not totally certain).

And... I'm honoured. :)

At your request I read your drabbles. They were intense, although I am not certain I truly understood what was going on. To be honest, unless I "get" what is happening - as I am sure other readers will agree - I am left hanging. But then again, it might be me -- so I would not be too concerned about what I think.

As I said - intense and filled with "something" - I wish you the best with these.

you got it in one ...umm...three.

That was a startling finish to your start ... in this medium.. good job.
