When did Chicken Little enter the picture?!
Warnings: . . ., the sky is falling!
::grins::
Oh, but Alice, poor dear Alice!
I'm not going out there, the sky will crush me. The little bit I can see from the open doorway is too much. It's too dark, too big, too empty. Was it like that in the before times? So big? I can't remember. Don't want to either. So big, it's going to squash me! How can I fight against that? Even the keepers haven't made monsters that can kill the sky yet. I can't breathe!
And I loved how she took his mention of a ship to mean they were going to sea! So in keeping with Crazy-Alice-cam!
I love it:
The things I want to say are playing hide and seek with the whys.
can't look at him or she'll get me from her hiding place in his goggles
screams have never done any good before and they won't now. But that doesn't stop the mice in my head from screaming.
Brilliant!
two whisperers huddling close to the wall, talking. Is it telling them secrets? Are they telling the bricks all their hidden stories? I told my bars stories once.
I love Alice-cam!
Again with the mind-blowing literary references/parallels drawn by Ratatosk:
Your introduction, as always, we beautiful. Reminded me of Ariel’s song from The Tempest, and that makes me happy.
Quote
Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes;
Nothing of him that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell.
The Tempest, Act I, scene 2.
Love it! Thank you so much Ratatosk! Not only are you providing Ayabie with invaluable feedback, but you’re providing the rest of us Readers with invaluable food for thought, as well!
Ayabie, as to your own comment in your response to feedback:
I see it as an Alice fic who just happens to be from the RE 'verse and R just happens to be along for the ride lol.
Yes, that makes sense. That’s precisely how I’ve been seeing it. That’s why I feel like it would work for me even if I had not seen those RE movies---and in fact, look at the fact that I didn’t remember Spence or the other guy from her dissociative scene yet I grasped what was going on, caught the essence of Alice’s memories and feelings just then. Yes, you’re doing a good job!!
As to your other commentary:
if you've ever seen the Ring/Ringu series, the images on the cursed tapes in the movies are what I'm reminded of when I stop and think about my beginnings. All the pieces of the puzzle are in the images but they're just... twisted.
I have not seen the Ring series, yet I understand completely what you’re saying; I’ve even thought about the very idea that all the pieces of the puzzle are in the images, just … well, “just a bob off-plumb” because they’re being related through Crazy-Alice-cam!
