Talk:A Small Piece of Lead/@comment-3541151-20150223182953

Some ghost stories are cliches, some don't explain enough and others are just boring to read. As an avid creepypasta reader, I've come across a lot of those. So, with the PoTM effort that I'm seeing time and again, I think I found a grand EXCEPTION! A Small Piece of Lead!

Written by a good friend, |EmpyrealInvectiv, A small piece of lead starts out with a relatable scenario, and by relatable I don't mean that in a way where this actually DID happen to you. Because if it did, YOU'D be a ghost!

Unless you already are a ghost in which case sorry for offending you! I've offended every other race, don't take it personally!

It's relatable in the sense that, although the encounter may be impossible (insert religious argument here) it does show how a real human would react, how they would feel.

Why is this happening to me?! I have a family! I gotta find the guy who did it, that will fix things!

Our main character is a ghost, HOLD YOUR PAINT CANS! I didn't spoil the story! That's how it begins!

Rather being about WHO died, the story focuses on the circumstances of BEING a ghost, and the main character's focus on trying to make things right, as revelations pour in he might have done wrong all along.

The description of the imagery are AMAZING! In the immersion you wonder if this COULD happen, its a great use of wonder and imagination!

The revelations are told UNIQUELY for a ghost story, as the spiritual world EMBODIES right and wrong, and the stories presentation of this concept is something to be admired.

I had a lot of fun reading it. If I hadn't already voted for Knocking I might have voted for this. Remarkable story telling, inventive supernatural properties, neat concepts and good morals. I think we can learn from the character's mistakes. Great job, EmpyrealInvective! Proud to call such a talented writer a friend. 10/10
