[A Bid For Freedom]

fantastic

My only critique is that part of the way through the story the verb tense changed from past to present.
I enjoyed the anachronistic allusions too.

AdamCook responds:

Well spotted! It's one of the few genuine areas that I feel can be accurately criticized (rather than left to opinion), and of all the reviewers, you're the first to note that change!
I'd discovered the tense change during proofreading, and had considered altering it, but couldn't decide whether it should be all present or all past.
In the end, I actually preferred the mix as it worked with the dreamlike nature of the story. The past tense seems to invoke the lulling security of creamy wallpaper and alcohol vapours while the present acts as a call to action, bringing him to life to perform his requisite feats of daring. It felt right to have him living in the moment when he's at his most active and involved.
From a critical standpoint though, you're absolutely right, so congrats for your keen eye!

Glad you like the style as well! There's no particular time period for this one, although this version has a lot of fairly current references that might change when they get too old.

Cheers for the great critique! Hope to entertain you again in the future!
