It Must Have Been the Tacos

Also, S3 L3 should be 'revelry'?

S6 - 'cynically angry' is overkill one or the other would suffice.

I think you delivered this without too much attention to detail, if you don't mind me typing so. You probably do, so I'll shut up and leave it there.

Hey Kee, when the Brits/Aussies/Canucks correct your spelling on words like that, the best bet is to smile and nod at the crazy people.

"I would like to explain my intent.  One can be cynical without being angry, and vice versa.  My intent was exactly that both a cynical attitude and angry at the same time."
"Also reverie can be spelled either way, revery or reverie, I chose the spelling I am most familiar with."

Revery - that spelling was alien to me, until I looked it up. So, strike that stereotypical Brit crit.

And yes, although I am frequently angry and cynical simultaneously, I accept that they may behave more like in-laws than MZ twins. However, when reading that line, the 'overkill' still comes upon me - the adjacent adverb/adjective thing I guess, and I would have preferred something like 'Cynicism dismisses the olive branch./ He slaps open the door [angrily]/ and stares, turning a sickly gray pallor...'
I'm not sure anger needs to be explicitly stated - the slapping open of the door infers the state in the context. Or is that just me being simplistic?

Anyway, thanks for the elucidation KZ  - I'll put it down to another Brit thing, disorientation in the baseball field :>

 

Yeh - we call that bowling, the idea being to achieve a strikethrough. Not generally recommended, however much you relish the prospect of sticking pins in your eyes.

(I think 'awkwardly awesome' is closer to reality Anstey. I tend to collapse in paroxysms of compressed paranoia when awesomeness threatens to infect me)

Well yes KZ, I can appreciate the need to employ overkill in a typical working environment - the threat of death alone invariably fails to generate the required motivation :>

Yeh - that undermines the overkill thing, though I think it would be good to lose one of those pronouns. Maybe 'Slapping open the door / he turns...' ?
But yes, I think it reads better that way.

I'm intrigued - you seem to avoid the use of certain punctuation characters (stops and commas), but embrace the use of others (speech marks, apostrophes). I presume that's a deliberate thing (?)
