I enjoyed this week's train/leshi story. Very visual and beautiful.

This story was amazing. I think I am going to give up writing right now and let this chick do it for me. I loved it. Tracks surpasses any fiction I have read in the last ten years. Will the author be publishing more frequently? I have money I want to throw in her direction. Oh, the pictures were okay, sort of too blurry and obviously ghostlike.

Personally, I prefer fiction that tells a story. I didn't get one from this. The style/voice of the writer was lovely, but in the end -- unsatisfying.

I agree totally. No story here at all. It was really just a descriptiopn of an event, poetic in places, but nothing else to recommend it.

There is no story here only atmosphere. It feels like the set-up for a story, but the action has not happened yet.

You know, guys, it doesn't have to be a story to be a complete work of art.
