Karim. This essay is phenomenal. I, like yourself, am a GS student. I thought my admissions essay was great, but your essay blew mine out of the water. It truly is inspiring and it serves as motivation to improve my writing. Wish you the best of luck at Columbia.

Take care.

It is a human trait to make mistakes we all must learn from them.I have also learned very valuable lessons from slippin’. Bartenders are human too. I consider that it takes two to tango.If you are at the bar and no-one has a gun to your head.Taking that last drink to your lips could make you a participant.

I agree with Ethan. I hope this was cathartic for you.

Just got around to reading this, and I think it’s fantastic. You distill these very complex ideas in a very clear and concise way. Very cogent and substantive.

Thank you for expressing so well what I’ve been saying very poorly for years.

Wow, very helpful, Joseph. Thank you. You’re absolutely right about the clichés; now that you’ve pointed them out, they won’t leave me alone. And yes, you’ve perfectly gotten the point of this vignette in your description. Thanks.

Very passionate and human and perhaps a bit unsettling/disturbing. I liked how vivid everything is, but also very hazy and erratic, like I am stumbling along through the story along with the character. It’s quite enjoyable, albeit in a very dark way. Very good writing overall, though a few tiny cliches like “pitch dark” and “dull thud” throw off the otherwise clever and unique language a bit. But I am being very nit-picky here. Overall, very beautiful in a dark way. The story is unique and enticing, and gives you just enough information that you can gather intense emotions, without letting you fully understand the…plot (I don’t know if that is a good word for it). I really like that in flash fiction pieces.

Morbid and unsatisfyingly inexplicable. Nice writing though.
