RE: Lucy. A short story for Twenty-four hour short story contest
Dear @carolkean, I am very touched by your words. I'm very glad you found my story interesting. Indeed, language works a lyrical register within the nightmare that this man lives. He is really having a bad day. The final image is cruel (it's true, I also have a beautiful green-eyed cat called Neem), and I included it as a logical outcome for a character who denies his violent condition and superbly denies that his drug triggers such effects.
The mention of Pollock, apart from the fact that his work is mind-blowing, was made because it seems to me that he works in those margins where language becomes insufficient. He works in a limit state of language in its communicative configuration.
Thank you also for appreciating my drawing. I love drawing and I'm glad it's pleasing to others.
P.S. We agree: @hlezama is an exceptional reader and commentator and should earn a lot of money with those skills!
