Hey Bride of Walken,
There's really not much to go on, but I would certainly be interested in reading about narcissism in either essay form or short story. Definitely if you are drawing from personal experience, you should do the a creative non-fiction essay.

Have to disagree with gohn on this one. There is a lot here.

Quote:
The loneliness I know he must feel is converted in my subconscious to a lie of a self-sufficiency act. But I know I can survive on my own.
This is the only sentence I didn't love. Decent thought, I guess, but contradictory, redundant and and angsty tell/anaylsis of personal feelings.

The rest is great IMHO. Interesting. Educational. Strong finish, no need to expound. The jump from 1st to 2nd person in the last sentence works a treat.

Great flash. Borderline poetry.
