The Withering

Description

Yixing loves roses. They are his only connection to his one, true love. He leaves her roses, here and there, to express and proclaim his undying love. That is, until he begins to send different roses—black, withered ones. 

Foreword

 

 

 

He saw her.

A delicate red rose.

Just waiting to be plucked.

But he was one to admire from afar.

Alas, that was only until someone came and plucked his rose.

His black rose. 

 

Roses were his language of love. Until the red roses became black. 

 

 

 

excerpt ;

They were the beautiful, the roses. He the soft velvet of the petals, running his fingers over them again and again. The rich red hue of the roses made him think of many things. The red roses made him think of blood. "Nevermore," he whispered, before plucking the scarlet rose and throwing it into the furnace.

And a dying love is still love.

Chapter 1: Oh dear gosh, this chapter is absolutely beautiful, and I am just pleasantly appalled, but appalled no less at what happened To the poor young Yixing, I mean, who are those people to judge? It's just sad to know that some people direct that kind of treatment towards children. Is it so wrong for boys to like flowers or for girls to Be interested in machines and automobiles? The people, seriously...
Oooh and did I mention how much I love your writing style? Your works are just breathtaking. You have such an amazing talent in touching people's hearts and putting unexplainable thoughts into words. I am just overwhelmed and I really, truly am looking forward to reading the next chapter~ ^o^

Chapter 1: Ooh, I like this.

I like the imagery that you've used. I can picture everything clearly in my head and it's like I'm watching movie with all the intricate details you've added.

I like your use of symbolism with the flowers. It's really interesting to see you use flowers to describe Yixing, especially him being like a rose. A rose is beautiful, but it has it's thorns, so It'll be interesting to see how you go about writing him.

Your vocabulary is great and everything reads well. I really enjoyed reading the first part and I hope you definitely get some more readers because this is written very well. There is depth to this that many stories don't have, so it's a pleasant change to read something like this.

Update whenever you can. :D
