This is an excerpt from a chapter named "The Scars of Us", from my novel The Retrospection. This is my first time sharing a prose here so I hope you enjoy.

There’s something oddly pleasing about the psychedelic feeling that inhumane darkness ensconces you in 👌🏻

Okeh wowwwhh, for a moment I thought Juliette Ferras is talking to me. The inner war of letting the worst part of you in wild play or to put it in shackles and in between this, the urge to even save it....omg you have portrayed it so well. if you ever write a novel, I am gonna read it. YOU HAVE MY WORDS!!!...

Damnnnnn

This is beautiful, and hauntingly relatable. It’s true, there is something oddly pleasing of being pushed into darkness for so long.

Can you ping me when your book comes out? I’d love to buy a copy. What is it called?

This was oddly comforting in some ways. If this is part of a book you'll be releasing, I'll gladly buy a copy! Your writing is truly one of a kind.

There's still a lot of fluff here.

#

I like the question and answer at both ends.

Have you published any book before?

#

No. Its my first

I used to write novels too, but I scrapped all of them. Every single piece of data.

Also, without the subtext provided by the story, this feels like there's a lot of bloat. I'm sure there would be way better impressions if we had the rest of the story. So... remember to publish your book.

Went so deep that I forgot it started off as a conversation. I love how it's simple enough to understand well but the use of words still feels powerful. Did I get a little lost about what time we were in in the middle since it changes quite a bit, yes! Might that also have to do with my horrible attention span, probably! Hahaha

Your poem is deeply evocative and poignant, exploring themes of trauma, internal struggle, and the complex relationship with darkness. This is a very intense piece of writing.
