I, along with most of the majority of the other students, felt this story was not as well done as it could have been. The author's incessant rambling on pointless details just made me lose focus. Now I'm sure these details were necessary for character devolopment for the author. "Flash" paid extreme attention to detail, but I found myself saying "enough already" as the story progressed. Certain quotes such as "The grimy venetian blinds of the room were drawn ahainst the glaring heat. It was above 90 degrees outside and there had been no soaking rains for weeks and in every visible tree hung ghostly bagworm nests" further instill my point of his ramblings on details that didn't seem to ever end. Although we can see Flash is obviously psychological unstable, we get the sense that Flash hasn't always been this way. We get hints of an addiction to heroin that he suffered early in his life. A heroin addiction can change the psychological perception of a person to the entire world. Has anyone actually ever met a sane junkie?
