Livingdeath


T

There are some things in life that we can't control, death is not one of them. Given enough willpower, one could easily keep death away by fighting as long as possible, or inflict it upon themselves. If you had lost your final battle to a gripping, terrible disease, which would you choose? If you have time to think about it, it becomes as simple as left or right, but what if you knew that your time was running out? Would it be so simple then?

Just based on the title, and how much i love that song, I'm gonna read this.

I'll just leave this here.

Alright, be sure to let me know what you think, but be warned, this is the first time I ever attempted to write something like this.

Damn, this was pretty good for a one shot, not bad at all. If I wasn't such a sociopath, I might have cried there at the end :pinkiecrazy: But in all seriousness, you did a pretty good job, especially with this being your first attempt at something like this. I'm giving it a fave and a thumb good sir/madam :moustache::moustache:

Well thank you. If this does well enough I may consider doing more in the future.

In your honest opinion. do you think I did the song justice?

3566976 I think it did. While my own personal interpretation of the song is different(and involves drug addicts), I could see where you came from with a vast majority of it, the ties to the song beyond the obvious, the emotion you tried to portray, it all worked very well. My opinion? Mission Accomplished

Thank you again, I tried the best I could to portray a character in terrible pain, but since I've never been in such a position myself, it proved somewhat difficult to write such a character.

3567085 That's understandable, but I have to say that you managed to portray the character very well. I find that it helps, in the event that you write anything like this again, to take a moment and try to imagine yourself in the same pain the character is in. I write stuff like this a lot, so I usually end up doing that even when I'm not writing; imagining the pain I would feel from various things if they were inflicted on me just in case I decide to use them.

If I remember correctly, the Canadian spy slips some of this stuff to the "English patient" in Michael Ondaatje's novel.

This is actually based on the song by Avenged Sevenfold rather than the novel.

Which is fine with me; I'm pretty sure the band read the book. :twistnerd:

I'm pretty sure they did. Either way it's a fantastic song.

this is a pretty good read. sucks about the main guy's sickness and what he has been going through for a while, but....he took the cowards way out. i know that he didn't, not technically, but he did. he just did.

This was really good. And Brompton Cocktail is my favorite song from my favorite band.
