Thought it was gonna be an 'Alien: Isolation' type of thing, looks interesting regardless.

Ah, I can see why you would think that but as you've probably already read, its not anything related to our dear Ripley.

Thank you very kindly! :ajbemused:

I cant really explain but I find that picture to be extremely descriptive.

Thank you.

Depressing as hell.

eeyup, thats part of the psychological impact of it.

I almost considered putting a sad tag on it but I figure the dark covers it nicely.

Thank you for the view and comment though.

Can you hear that?

No? Well, I'll tell you then.

That, my friends, is the sound of
silence.

It is one of the most beautiful, yet also one of the most terrifying, things in the world.

Listen as it drives you into madness...

Where are the words of the prophet?

meh nothing special.

I now require a sequel of some sort. Dagnabit!

so, obviously we couldnt have a continuation with Child in it. however, I do plan on writing more along this vein of thought that will have other changelings in it.

Keep an eye out.

Bravo, that was amazing. I also want to tear the guard's eyes out for not letting them talk to Child.

Must have sequel thing, must have eyes of Commanding officer, must have cookie

In regards to the possible sequel I dont believe there will be one but I may do a prequel leading up to this situation.

that aside I will definitely be delving into other changeling situations soon.

Awesome, this was something new and I really enjoyed it. :O Kudos!

Thank you kindly, I truly appreciate the feedback.

There will be a likeminded fiction coming out soon.

I see mature and gore together. This isn't going to be some senseless gore fic like Cheerilee's Garden, is it? I would like to know before i go in, if anyone will clue me in on this

Its not by any means senseless, everything that happens to this changeling happens because of his surroundings.


Enjoy and let me know how you found it when you come out.

5229789 I'll attempt to give a sort of short but meaningful review here.

That was damn good. Child's death made me feel so sad, because by the end of the story I had established a connection to the character. I wanted to see him prevail, to escape the silence and be free again, and it never came. It hurt to know that he died alone, neglected, isolated.

Your writing does a good job of capturing the emotion of his descent into madness. I don't know if you intentionally made him not acknowledge the pain of mutilating himself, but I feel that you were going for depicting that he was so desperate that he couldn't care less about pain. Also, nice touch with the drumming of his heartbeat.

Overall, I rate this story a 4.5/5. Excellent little story and a great read.

I seriously appreciate that more than you know, It means a lot that you took the time to even review it, whether good or bad.

You hit the nail on the head, I wanted the reader to get somewhat of an idea of what it would be like to have that connection on an emotional level and have it torn away from them, much like Child's torn from his Hivemind.

As well, yes, the mutilations were completely out of desperation and that is why they continued and escalated.

Hey thanks!

It wasnt what I had thought of or what inspired but I will admit, While I was editing my fiction I reminded myself of this and laughed.

Oh fuck, when you said this was dark in your comments on another story, you weren't kidding. Fuck.

5959983

I sincerely appreciate you coming over and reading this then.

Eeyup. It was, at the time, the darkest thing I'd ever written. Then again, that was several months ago.

This was pretty good actually. Really good.

As if those two rookies could ever catch a Child, let alone a changeling

Is she implying that he's not or at least not even qualified?

very late response, my apologies, and yes, that is the intended implication :)

Before I read this, what is the Dark and Gore tag for ?
And how bad does it get ?

7983081

The dark tag is because this subject matter is not a light one; A being more or less facing its' own loss of sanity and in desperation attempting anything to stave off the feeling of isolation.

The gore tag is because the being in this fiction suffers through some serious self harm. It is in context completely and not a moment of it is egregious or at all exaggerated. This fiction was made with the utmost care and I did not add anything to the scenes therein that was not completely necessary to be immersed in the story and the true feelings the character was experiencing.

So apparently days passed and no one bothered with the changeling in the dungeon... Dismissing the claims of the two guards outright is stupid on the officers part, especially if as i got the hint the officer is actually a chamgeling (why else would it refer to it as child like the changeling did for itself). Either way all it would have taken is sending someone down there to check on it.

Yeah i can see dishoborable discharge for everyone involved once they find the body down there.

damn that was dark and sad, and i think of my self as soul less.

but god damn that was dark.
