A good flash
Copy pasted from "Target Practice", but is more than relevant here too:
Looking at this, ignoring the events that followed, this is actually very well put together. Especially considering this was made five years ago, it trounces most people's attempts today.
For people claiming "This was a sign", "What did people think when they saw this?" all I have to say is hindsight is a wonderful thing.
Short of "Regret" posting a submission saying, "I'm going to do this on this date", no-one could have predicted what he was to do.
I don't think he even knew what his future held at the time of creating this.
I've seen many a darker submission than this, and those authors are completely fine. So stop judging the work on what he did, and judge it on the actual submission.
