I have been in a situation where I was certain I was going to die by violent means, and your work describes very well the sort of mental processes I went through on that occasion - time almost stands still, and your life rushes back at you as a series of images/emotions. Obviously I didn't die, but it was a powerful experience, the essence of which is captured very well in your work. I hope you intend to keep writing. Awesome.

Did not care much for it. But then, I generally don't like pieces that are all thinking, I like things to happen. Too internal, not enough action. Did not care much for it.

For some reason he was obsessed with death by gallows asphyxiation, and the sex related to. It seems as if he believed that mode of death would release the soul into another fleshly container. I liked the story. Burroughs, right? For some reason he was obsessed with death by gallows asphyxiation, and the sex related to.
