Fourteen - Notes

I suppose it would have been a lot easier to understand that last chapter if I had read this one too, but oh well. I greatly appreciated the M. Night Shyamalan-esque twist at the end of this chapter. It wasn't Bowker that failed to rescue Kiowa, but O'Brien?!? ZOMG! Bruce Willis was really dead all along!

Ahem...at first, I thought it was a tad underhanded to try to pin Kiowa's death on his other dead friend, but in the end O'Brien came clean with it...but still...I don't approve.

The one thing that I noticed that kept popping up throughout the course of these two chapters was their fixation on the stink and "the killing power of that shit field" (p. 153). It almost seems like the worst part of the field was just the smell of it, and not even that Kiowa died there. I don't really get it. But then again, I've never been submerged in liquid feces. I imagine it would be unpleasant.

This is the face I made at the end of the chapter "Notes" and the end of the movie Sixth Sense.
