You and Death can both read my mind >_>

I did just read 1984, but the only real concept it shares is that of distopia.

Yes very intriguing, found a small contradiction though.

You said you arrived at 16, and 14.5, which isn't really possible...unless you state that you went somewhere and came back home.
I'll rate it when it's finished.

Oh yeah good catch. I have no idea why I did that and fixed it.

Btw, did anyone figure out who the woman with the mysterious smile is?

If it has something to do with 1984, I wouldn't know cause I haven't read it :P
But the woman in the picture and the woman to be killed are one and the same right? As for who she is...some kind of spy from another country?

I concluded part 1 (which wasn't much more really)

Part 2 will be in your typical 3rd person perspective. Woot!

Why did you go and start at 1 again?
And on the writing...ze cliche:
"Ah, the plot thickens"

I'm guessing the numbers are the numbers of the day. 4day is 'tomorrow' in the story, and each week is 8 days, so it started at 1 again. Cool.

Ah i see, the mona lisa. It has a lake and some trees in background as so i recall. I remember asking people to draw the mona lisa on a wc3 game called art competition, and loads of them was all like "wtf" cos they didn't realise it was a joke. As allways on wc3 art games, someone drew a penis.

Oh, forgeting penises for a second (as hard as it is for me) , the story is quite unique in style, but i can forsee it getting dull if all the entries are one line long. I like the idea of mystery that must be worked out, though, and if there are pleanty of those thingey-bobs, should be ok.
