I don't know. I think it's fucking fantastic. I mean, it's really just part of a story, I think, so you'd need to write more for it to really work as a piece of fiction. But as far as a character study goes it's brilliant.
Maybe it's just that so much of the writing I do for a living is either technical or simple melodrama, but I've been really loving the completely over-the-top stuff the last year or so. Watching writers almost lose control is one of my favorite things - probably because I feel best after writing when it's been one of the rare sessions in which I've totally lost myself.

It's the first chapter in my neglected Southern Gothic horror/romance novel. Writing over the top is silly great fun.
