head trauma in books drives me so insane. in the one I’m reading now, the author knocks her character unconscious every time she wants to change the scene. like to get the ‘dramatic fade to black’ thing. but it’s happened AT LEAST four times, probably more, all in the same week. this person’s brain is scrambled. you can’t keep doing this. just describe them walking calmly and entering the next scene, you don’t need the fade to black. there have been ZERO CONSEQUENCES to the MULTIPLE CONCUSSIONS. this character is bleeding on the brain. they’re fucked. it doesn’t matter what else happens in this book, it’s already over for them.
Increasingly unreliable narrator
