Review of King Lear

After reading king Lear I have to say that the ending was horrible. Although it was foreshadowed in the beginning of felt way too forced in my opinion. As for the book as a whole I thought it was pretty interesting. I was able to see the perspectives of all the other characters instead of the main character. The way the characters were portrayed was on the dot. Story-wise I felt that the setup could have been a lot better. In conclusion I felt as though King Lear was a decent story, just that how it was handled could have been better.

Tale of the Hunters

           Several days and nights, except the land's in constant fright. Doesn't matter who, if he sees them as a target their fate is sealed. As the rain Pours it may cleanse the soul, however the stain of blood and corpses forever lingers.  Once the hunt is over, the man in black takes his leave, leaving the dead to waste. However, a small beacon of hope is revealed. In the darkest corner another "Hunter" stalks the "Hunter" who has hunted. Though the man in Black's face was not revealed, the "Hunter" gives his sadistic smile. And the "Hunter" says, "let the games begin".
          One week later in the depths of town; the man in Black awakens. His pupils as red as the blood he leaves in his wake. He has the appearance of a young man in his early 20's, with hair as black as the night he hunts in. His day starts off as any other; wake up, eat breakfast (Albeit he despises it), spits it out, finds something more comfortable to put on, and relaxes until a new night arrives. The blood of those he kills is like a delicacy, in contrast normal food is like torture. All in all while his "curse" is being unable to eat normal food, his "blessing" is the unimaginable taste of the blood he kills. And now the man in black relaxes.
               Then out of nowhere the door bell rings, snapping the man in Black's train of thought. He then gets up, walks to the door and opens it. Once the door is opened, the one who knocks is a young child, with sand color hair with matching eyes. The young child says "good morning sir, sorry to interrupt you on this fine day". The young child smiles genuinely. The man in black replies "and who are you little....... Girl". The young child retorts "I'm a boy!!". The man in black then thinks "so it's a trap huh?" He then says "well all the more reason for you to leave, if I'm seen with a trap character my reputation is ruined. The young boy then states "well don't worry I'll be only but a moment, so you don't mind if I come in?" The man in black thinks "it's probably a a kid who left the orphanage; that'll make it the seventh time in a year". He then says in defeat "fine come on in".
            As the young boy entered the room, he took in his surroundings. The young boy then says "Alright I won't take much of your Time, first of all you can think of me as a hunter". The man in black replies " A trap character that hunts..... Kinda makes me wanna call child services". The young boy then counters "I wouldn't underestimate the power of children if I were you". He then continues saying " but for your information I'm an investigator". The man in black says " they're making children investigators now?" The young boy then counters "considering all that's been happening with the world they'll need all the help they can get, and for your information I'm a private investigator".
       The man in black asks "so what business do you have with me?" The young boy said "I'm investigating the deaths of the people who were cut down in the forest". The man in black thinks "tch, I don't have time for this, it's still morning, so I'll just take this  kid as a snack if things get heated". The young boy then suddenly pulls out a knife and stabs his hand. The man in black hunger greatly increased when he saw fresh blood dripping. However he did everything in his power not to attack, at least not yet. The young boy said "I heard that the culprit has an unusual craving for blood, so..... You wanna taste?". The man in black screams inside his head, "this little brat!!! Be calm, play it cool, don't be tempted". The young boy then pulls out a napkin and dries up the blood. He then notices the small amount of drool coming from the man in Black's mouth. The young boy then thinks "one more push".
        The young boy then says "well apart from the taste, I heard that the smell is out of this world". Then without a sound the young boy smothers the man in Black's face with the blood-soaked napkin. And without a second thought the man in black breath it in. The man in black went crazy with ecstasy. The young boy then said "well well well, seems like I've found my culprit". The man in black realized his folly and jumped to his feet. The man in black smiled, still confident about the situation. He then said"It doesn't matter that you figured me out, it only means that you're going to die. The young boy then laughed hysterically; after he regained his composure he then asked " do you know why I'm a private investigator?". The young boy then took his shirt off, revealing at least fifty knives hidden around him. The young boy then stated " it's because I can't help but get carried away when I kill my targets". The man in black looked in horror as he soon realized that this little boy was not normal. The young boy then said "my last target lasted around ten minutes before dying, so I wonder how long you'll last."
