For the official diagnosis, probably schizophrenic, although the vast majority of psychotic people are harmless, so add in extreme antisocial personality disorder/sociopathy, and you&#39;ve got it. <br /><br />I liked the &quot;paying close attention&quot; face. Um, I&#39;m one of those people who would probably notice the dead flies. That&#39;s disturbing.

Maybe @annetylerlord could provide some insight here. But I like it and I&#39;d say u could even dial up the ugliness - there&#39;s no redeeming value to this guy and it might as well be a visceral experience when the reader comes to realize that.

If only my internet connection wasn&#39;t so shoddy at work I would have been the first comment. My life would have been complete.<br /><br />But, on to the comment. The psychologist in me (a bachelor&#39;s - very prestige) likes this. What a sociopathic schizo. At least I figured he was a schizo until he commented that they were &#39;not-real.&#39; What did this guy have, exactly?Jared Branchhttp://thebokchoy.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797188666559531190.post-8242458391106732952010-03-06T11:14:59.209-05:002010-03-06T11:14:59.209-05:00Very cool story. Hopefully for the judges sake he&#39;ll be found guilty and put away for a long time. Otherwise I have no doubt he&#39;s crazy enough to go after her. His lawyer better watch out, too.Eric J.

And I really liked the fly images. Very vivid in my mind as I read--jiggling, popping, slipping, glowing, [playing] electric connect-the-dots...Interesting that he calls the lines the Not-Real, which made them his (&quot;so they were all for him&quot;). The reality of the flies themselves is in question at the beginning, but not at the end, or, rather, they are now Not-Real, too. <br />(&quot;He was thrilled that they were Not-Real, too&quot;). The Not-Real, a more powerful reality...and one in which he has much more &quot;control.&quot; Symbolically interesting that he gains control by making things not noticed (or things people pretend not to notice)...even more invisible by swallowing them into his mind (but then projecting them onto a world over which (in reality) he has little control).

I also wanted it to get more and more disjointed, make less and less sense. This guy is psychotic, after all; his worldview is pretty messed up. His actions aren&#39;t going to be rational; using standards of rationality to judge him is a terrible mistake.<br /><br />I&#39;m glad I was able to put everyone in his head so well. No need to worry about what that says about me, though. For the record, I&#39;m no more a paranoid psychotic in prison than I am a loving patriarch on a family farm.<br /><br />Any of these stories that put you viscerally inside someone else&#39;s head, stories that are compelling and convincing mean only one thing: that I&#39;m a writer who did his job properly.Tony Nolandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15090583562737225942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797188666559531190.post-39273850881349716482010-03-05T16:19:51.548-05:002010-03-05T16:19:51.548-05:00He needs the flies or someone/something to tell him what to do.

I have to side with &quot;just enough&quot; to this story--there are layers behind the story that give me a hint of what&#39;s gone on before and what will happen after. One comment: in the first line, I thought that Charlie Lund was the judge the way it was written, which very briefly confused me. Otherwise, a disturbing (successful) story.Kim Batchelorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13706206136308395706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797188666559531190.post-33435266381144262292010-03-05T11:52:48.822-05:002010-03-05T11:52:48.822-05:00Creepy stuff!

So for me: the flies were like the little specks of light that swim across the corneas. They are a projection of Charlie&#39;s psychosis and misogyny - they speak with him; an alter ego. And he speaks back. A disturbing dialogue.<br /><br />What a frightening character - brilliant, rendering.

The sing song they do with the noose at the end is chilling. <br /><br />I&#39;d be interested to see if this piece became even darker if you tried it in first person and present tense.

You put this guy through a whole range of emotions in a very short piece, capturing his paranoia, anger and humour. We also get the sense that he&#39;s been disturbed for a long time and has been &#39;trained&#39; how to act &#39;normally&#39; with his &quot;paying-close-attention face&quot; and &quot;serious-but-really-sorry look&quot;. This was a really interesting character.
