Anachronism Histoires

Author's Note: A part of me still worries about this work's grammar and syntax. I should probably go back and relook at it - and my knack for passive sentences. I was trying to go for a prose poem with this piece - the collision of vivid imagery and a more prose style of formatting. Endgame came from a dream. Some old photos of Grand Central Station served as the basis for location (http://justfunfacts.com/interesting-facts-about-grand-central-terminal/) (https://www.photosofoldamerica.com/Trains-Grand_Central_Station_Interior_197.htm). Much like different languages, each person has their dream symbolism. For me, stations have always correlated to relationships - friendships, my relationship with myself. Chess has symbolized both struggle and connection - a drive to win the "game", adulting, trying to fit into the mainstream of society, trying to understand your opponent. It was not until the very end of the dream that I realized that I had been playing against myself via a mirror. I tried very hard to find imagery that would allude to the mirror but never explicitly state that it was there. The goal was immersion. I wanted to give the reader anxiety. There is this being that knows so much about you, and you don't understand why. I wanted juxtaposition - being seen and vulnerable in such a crowded location and also not seen. There were also elements about figuring out that you lost sight of what you wanted and who you are. It was supposed to convey the constant search for the answers and to find where those answers lie. The time anachronism also plays into the feeling of something being off. Those old photos of Grand Central Station are the location basis, but there is a cell phone. It is a confusing stew - much like identity and connections. It was supposed to convey all of that. I am not sure that it did. I am also not sure if I want it to express all of that too.

Remember, having Sue traits doesn't always mean your character is bad. Context and how the character is written are important! You can't have a character blurb with all the potentially dangerous traits listed and expect someone to be able to tell whether or not it's a Mary Sue/Gary Stu. Writing well is far more complicated than that. If you are worried about your character, trust your gut instinct and get someone you know will be objective to review your story, not just the character alone.

In the midst of hopeful yet insidious 1960s London. The world has not ended, but something worse has begun. Across the British Isles, the remnants of a horrendous phenomenon called "The Dreading" purge every living soul - rebellion, resentment, and a bloodborne plague that turns its victims into ghouly beasts. The afflicted are not dead, yet not human, and no one dares to summon them. Perhaps it is the only moment of time when humanity was closest to defeating the curse that terrorized every century on Earth. Fun fact: I try to create my own literary style called "Coninaudit" Inaudit = Unheard Coniectura = Guess The idea is that there are more chapters but with the most ambiguous short phrases which help develop the sense of what is happening with the plot or predict the intent of ideas, or as you can say, "Guess the Unheard". P.S. It's a form of episodical, so the chapters' length are created in a way that bear separate sequences..
