Yeah I edited it once already and months ago several anons said I lean towards shorter sentences than other anons in /wg/. Probably only compliment I've gotten in my writing so far but I rarely post any. I really just need to tighten up some of the themes and cadence because my story changed quite a bit in the past few months.

Today, I choose writing.

Without picking at the theological details on the Haze's actions at the end of the story, I thought it was grotesque, made me laugh a few times and had a pretty tragic climax. Some moments made me horrified because I imagined if his church actually became a thing what it might look like. Haze's obsession with blasphemy was breathtaking honestly. The plot is thick with symbolism between the three women that Haze is involved with, the three other "preachers", blindness, "did you escape from the zoo," Enoch being a desperate shithead, flashbacks of Haze's religious childhood, and especially the symbolism of Haze's car and his pride in it.
If you've read the New Testament it will especially all make sense, but it is far more ugly of a story compared to her short stories which I've read most of already. The movie from 1979 (watched it right after) is actually a pretty good adaptation but it rearranges some scenes and removes the Enoch character building.
