Thanks, I'm not up for (or appreciate) really long pieces. Perhaps as I get a bit more experienced I'll attempt to explore more character and plot, but for now I'm striving to describe the inflation and popping in a coherent way.
Thank you, the popping is the crucial bit for me! And like my forum topic, I do like a bit more after the ending.
Your assumption is quite likely to be correct!
I liked it, you got the length and the pace just about right, and while some more description of what it felt like and looked like might have been nice, what there was was good. The explosion was done in a 'fun' way that hit all the right notes with me, and I liked the little aftermath with the scraps, and her boyfriend's attitude.
i can only assume the extra people who turned up were fetishists.
