Since a lot has changed in the last two months, I suppose I should update this. My name is Zion, I'm a retired political journalist living in the Middle East with my partner Áine, daughter Charlie, two dogs -an Irish Setter and a Rottweiler- a lazy fluff ball of a cat and an African Gray Parrot. (I have my money on the parrot dying first, that cat is bloody evil.) Now that I have officially ended my journalism career I've decided to focus on my writing, so certainly no more half edited, two minuet flashes of junk. I lost a lot of my previous writing- an epic vampire story and half a novel- so it's basically a clean slate from here on out. I have a deplorable memory so if I forget anything, my apologies. I don't mind reading other peoples work so post away, I prefer if you kept the requests in my inbox though. I'm currently going through a faze of laziness, probably brought on by the fact that my phone is completely and utterly silent and the only thing interesting in our apartment is the crappy internet connection and movie repeats on TV.

Hi!! Im so sorry I have been a kinda absent editor! But, I figured I would leave you comments on The Acrid Reality one paragraph at a time, if thats okay. That way, I can gather my thought easily. So here I go: When I look at the first sentence of the first paragraph, I think that saying that the blood 'dripped' is fine, because is says what it's doing, and it makes it seems like its an on-going event that will never stop until every last bit of blood is off the gurney, and onto the floor. I think, however, that the word 'leaking' should be changed to something like 'trickling' because it's something less used. And, depending on your thoughts, it makes it seem like it's more on-going. . .like a rainstorm. I personally, would like 'gaps' to maybe have an adjective like maybe the color or how old the gaps are or if they are there because of the blood flow. Same thing with 'flesh', maybe something describing how they were chopped up, or how long they've been sitting there, or. . . . 'Coming together' I think should be left alone, becasue then it's not an overflow of detail. . .it's short and too the point. Also, as for conventions, 'houses' needs an apostrophe. Thank you for looking at my thoughtsd, and of course, your the author, so do whatever you think is right. If you want my analaysis to be slightly different, just tell me. Thank you for being patient! Cheers <3

@the_indian_way I grew up on salt-less rice. The one thing about Arab and Asian countries, always having at you with their food. I swear everyone plans on giving you TD. Yeah, work. I'll need it, thanks.

@the_indian_way Ah, yes. Mothers, the bane of our existence during our younger years. Spicy food. Ruins your stomach lining. I spent a month with a very traditional family in India back in the late 90’s. My stomach has never been the same. Just thought I’d give you a heads up if I don’t reply, I’m going away for three weeks and will not be able to get to the internet for social or amusement purposes

@RedDelicious Thanks, yeah, my mate clutched his and asked what was wrong with me. That should liven things up a bit more, the colours.
The Acrid Reality
Eh, she's a bloody murderer. I know it. I'm working on a few hours of sleep so I wasn't really concentrating. Character interaction seems fine.

I don't like Macie. She's too sweet. I mean, bloody, a person that is nice has to have something to hide. What is it? Who did she kill? Anyway,...
