'It's the just being alive
that steals away your innocence,' no fucking doubt.
as has been said none of us get out of this life alive
but that's a sad day in hell.
I had a hiccup in your narration here
It's the just being alive
that steals away your innocence."
he said this with what seemed to be an honest sadness
and then looked off into the distance.
I could suggest cutting it to simply
Just being alive steals away your innocence
but its neither here no there
the rest is strong narration with an everyman feel to your narrator, and enough description of the horrors for the readers mind to conjure some seriously horrible images.
nice work is probably not where this sits, but damn good writing
