Duplicate Chapter One by James Hadzess

Word Count: 8700 words | Critique type preference: Online

Content warnings:

Blood, Combat, Needles, Snakes, Spiders/Insects

Author Notes:

This is a new more dynamic style using hyperbole. I also bend the meanings of words and employ extravagant vocabulary. Does this contribute to the writing or is it merely irritating? Is the writing style appropriate for the theme?

Please see content tags below – there is also a brief heterosexist joke in the piece.

Notes to organisers:

I’m targeting the young adult market with this novella.
