Hello, thank you for participating in the Writing Jam #14! Please email customers@onepagerules.com, to claim your participation minis!
This one's heartbreaking, putting the grim in grimdark. Beautifully brutal work, with some amazing descriptions and a gut punch of an opener and closer. Great job!
In a way it almost dragged at points but only because it did such a good job of putting me on edge with the whole setting. It's objectively very well done and pretty original too, even it's not my favorite brand of cosmic horror.
VERY cool take on wormhole entities. Nice work.
Gosh, this rules!
The whole idea is so brutal and nasty in the best way.
Such a vicious image, and I LOVE it very much!!
Your story brings up a lot of questions that are fun to consider. How does a being of pure wrath birth something that can feel anything else? What could a being of wrath experience to make them contemplative? How much risk does Wrath allow in letting this happen? Very fun thought experiment.
I like your perspective. The story could improve from a little show don't tell but on the whole it was very thought provoking. Kudos!
Way to create sympathy for the children of the Havoc Gods! Wow. I genuinely felt for them! It puts a whole new spin on guilty by association. 🫣
How dare you make me cry for demons! Well done!
BRUTAL!
There are some stories that gnaw at your heart slowly, giving you a sense of sorrow that lingers. This isn't one of them. This is an unyielding blast of existential dread and apocalyptic finality. To think that you can make us feel this bad for Daemons of Havoc. I'll be dreaming about this for a long time. Well done.
should probably stop being surprised when your stories find a way to make suffering sound almost tender. also, i suspect the emotional damage here was entirely intentional. had a feeling my very senior would bring pain to the table. pretty well done. great work.
