A real twist would have been if the kid jumped out of the house to try and save her but falls to his death. Call it what you will--a coming-of-age story, a heartwarming tragedy about loving someone enough to support them despite their quirks--but I think the story would have really tugged the heartstrings. Alas, the ending ruined the story. |

Words are just not a very good medium for expressing visuals unless you are using well established and easily referenced visuals, which is tricky if you're trying to use original imagery, and almost pointlessly stale if you're referencing something easily recognizable. I'm not trying to start a debate on the usefulness of words for description, or that there are things that can not be described by words; merely that it isn't always practical or interesting when trying to move a story along. |
