Talk:Never Judge a Book by Its Cover/@comment-31077845-20170210153205

There...were really that many people who were actually surprised by the "twist" at the end? Cause literally by the middle of the first paragraph my primary thought was "K, well, it's clear from the vague wording combined with his psychotalk and obsession with his "diary" that this diary isn't actually a diary. It's what, a woman's corpse?". I mean, do you guys not see what site you're on or do you just lack critical reading skills? You actually made it through that whole thing he could be talking to an actual diary. A small book you write in. Made more painfully obvious by the fact that he never says anything that might identify his diary was a book unless the statement could have a double meaning or be a metaphor.

The only reason I was assuming "corpse" and not a woman who was somehow hobbled is that he says he keeps her in one spot, and humans don't work that way. Was she being fed? How about going to the bathroom (which would quickly lead to serious infection and death if she was just left to wallow in)? How about physical activity and sunlight, which you need at least SOME OF to not waste away and become incredibly sickly? And she'd absolutely, almost 100% for certain not survive the traumatic physical acts supposedly forced on her, if she even survived that long. If the blood loss didn't do her in in her already weakened state, infection would.

Anyways, knew we were dealing with a person from the beginning, I just figured she'd be a corpse (figured "rebinding" was sewing back on limbs that had rotted off) which would be more accurate since a person wouldn't survive long in the given situation.

So yeah, gonna have to disagree with the disconcertingly high number of people who were actually surprised by this. The "twist" was incredibly obvious and since this was basically all about the "twist" the whole thing just drug on.
