[ writings of a dead parrot ]

These were languishing on my harddrive. They were written about three years ago and have had little editing from me between then and now. I figured that with The Dark Knight out, I should just admit that I'm never going to finish these and post what I have.

26.) Drifting
Notes: I like this for the imagery and for exploring an interesting period in Bruce's life, but I don't think it's particularly insightful.

22.) Argument
Notes: Okay, this story makes me cringe and I was debating even adding it. I have discovered that I greatly dislike dialogue-only, which this is a blatant experiment in, and it has an undercurrent of misogyny that makes me uncomfortable. I'm posting it for completeness.
( 22. Argument )

20.) Regrets
Notes: This one is also sort of bland and doesn't really seem to say anything new. Alas.
( 20. Regrets )

24.) Money
Notes: I think I was watching too much Kevin Smith and reading too much Authority when writing this. It quite unsubtly hammers in its theme, but Kev does amuse me.

34.) Flesh wound
Notes: An Alfred POV piece. It sounds too much like me and not enough like Alfred, I fear, but I think it's somewhat interesting, anyway.

4.) House of mirrors
Notes: An intensely stylized one. It was originally meant to be longer, but I couldn't keep up the tone, so I cut it short. I did do some major editing to this one post-The Dark Knight to keep it canon, but I don't think I could bring the idea to its full potential, alas.
