"My name is Hixstra. My parents chose this name for me because I was born during the full moon..." I thought this particular story flowed surprisingly well despite having many writers work to complete it. I really liked the phrase, "Not many people find their mirrosias in only 15 years of life." Mirrosias are spiritual partners or essentially soul mates, so it's interesting how the main character finds the equivalent of a lover at such a young tender age.
The lines I though were a bit awkward were: "...is completely about luck.", "I was lost in my thoughts and was soon lost in a new place.", and "And as the knife entered my body...". All of those sentences were grammatically correct but they didn't sound entirely right or weren't in rhythm with the surrounding writing. I would change them to: "...is based completely on luck.", "I was lost in my thoughts and in a matter of seconds became lost in the physical world as well.", and finally, "And as the knife pierced through my chest."
I agree with three out of four of the morals written for this story.
1. I think it's entirely true that even though you may think you're connected to someone, there is always that possibility that you are in fact, not at all.
2. Sad but true that anybody could be wielding the knife that pierces your back. You never know.
3. And the very famous line "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer" is extremely valid.
4 "Trust nobody" Although that is so cynical, it's fun to say, I think it's very unrealistic. You need to place your trust in some people; it is fair to encourage people to think carefully about where they're putting their trust but to get by life retaining all of your sanity you need true and trustworthy friends.
