Well, I'm finally cranking out/putting the finishing touches on those June/July Demon Contest Reviews, so when it came to this pasta, I have to say that I can't exactly say too much that hasn't already been said (at least, in terms of positives).

The writing works perfectly. The atmosphere created by the word choice, the detail to which things were described, simply beautifully done. In addition, this definitely is one of the darker and scarier entries in the contest. All of the symbolism behind what occurs in this pasta adds extra depth that makes it stand out even more.

I could gush on and on, but I'd be repeating most of the comments that came before this one. I suppose the vital part, and the part that I do need to address, is the small gripe I had with the story, and that is that the ending feels rather rushed to me.

Now, it isn't a bad ending, more so a pretty okay one that could have been a lot better. It just feels like it was just there to put an abrupt end to things. A bit more focus and the depth that the rest of this story showed could have possibly bumped this up to a perfect/near-perfect score.

As it is, however, this is still a magnificent pasta very deserving of all the praise it has received. 93/100.
