RE: Dystopian Fiction | The Hand of Madness Chapter I: Requiem Aeternam

in #fiction6 years ago

Interesting story but I think it's a bit too long of a chapter for this particular website which let's be honest is not really designed for reading lengthy bits of text.

Also you wrote

Yes. This is madness. Folie à deux is how shrinks call it. He knows well. This is a madness of two. A shared madness. A madness that began the exact moment we met. Embrace the madness or annihilate it from you.

I don't think it's necessary to write what basically amounts to the same thing three times in such quick succession. I think that most people who are likely to take the time to read your work probably already know what folie à deux means. If you repeatedly explain like that then it implies that you don't think your readers know what the phrase means or that you didn't know it before you looked it up in a literary dictionary. I think it was Stephen King who said that writers shouldn't use vocabulary that they don't understand or words to that effect.
