[spoiler]There's a pretty big difference in using a bunch of adjectives to try and make your writing sound better, and genuinely painting a picture and pulling a reader in with the detail. You did a great job of the latter. I also liked The Shade, the way he's written doesn't really give him a corny vibe like most, God like characters, but he's believable and well written. Overall, it's dope (: looking forward to learning more about her and what that Mark can really do.[/spoiler]
