I have a few questions.
I didn't like my last post, but that's because you can see where I started rushing it halfway through. I HAD to rush it, b/c to be honest, as you saw from both of us (which is why it took a while to start), I feel that in order to do that entry with any form of writing ability, you had to set the scene correctly. I don't feel it was a topic that we could just have action suddenly happen, you know? So that's why it felt so dragged and long. I took the inspiration from Dawn of the Dead obviously (one of my favorite movies) with the fact that they'd end up with a lot of time just waiting to die, having it affect them mentally. So that's my explaination for our length.
Do you mean the throw-ins involving the engagement ring and the others constantly moving away from the main group to take care of things? The ring part was to add an emotional punch, similar to the last topic when I did something like it.
