169: Carla | |
"The audience was still chanting, and hearing the name of one of the first songs he'd written resonate throughout the stadium put Will in a kind of nostalgic trance. Before long, he found himself loosely strumming a cover tune he'd learned before writing 'Carla.' It was an old favorite of his, with a simple but compelling hook - one of the most common and popular descending chord progressions imaginable. Cliché, but so infectious you didn't care." | |
Great. I love it. I am confused as to why I'm reading this in a gaming website though... Perhaps this story was fashioned from Rajas guitar hero days? Impeccable taste and style in this article as always guys. Keep it up! | |
Great piece of short fiction. I do love the ficiton weeks on The Escapist, there really aren't enough of them! | |
Oops, I should have mentioned my forum handle in the pitch. My mistake. (I'm the author.) Anyway, I'm really glad you guys liked it. Funny tidbit: since Painted On My Heart is a real song, the earliest the story could take place is 2018. | |
... This week's article line-up is awesome! Excellent short story. It may not be gaming-related, it was still excellent. Thank you. | |
I'm with phooks here; good story, just felt a little out of place thematically. | |
Nice story. | |
That was a great story. I loved it. I normally don't read these bits actually, but it was about Rock, so I thought, 'Why not?' Either way, great work on the story. | |
As expected, I really liked it, although the connection between it and a gaming theme is a little... er... vague? Regardless, it was still really good. | |
Being a big music fan (and an amateur lyrics writer/guitarist) it really got to me :) | |
