 Welcome to WDC from "Newbie Welcome Wagon"  ! Title: I Killed Cyrano de Bergerac Author: Champ  Type: Short story Your fictional murder is certainly more dramatic, and less enigmatic than the writer’s actual death, which is somewhat uncertain. You add a touch of dark romance to his end, showing the passion, which often accompanied his name. Yours seems a more fitting death for a man who seems to have been enamored with dueling, than the death that is ascribed to him. It is interesting that De Bergerac himself had to leave Paris after making death threats to a former lover. Your story revolves around jealousy, and while it’s told in the manner of an educated (if somewhat affected) person, who senses that he/she is being abandoned, and takes the desperate action, for among who know how many reasons, to save face. It’s not that unlike many of De Bergerac’s duels, just more cowardly,and I can find a certain irony in that. I like how the person describes his motive, first explaining it, as if it is a story, complete with the setting of that fateful morning. It adds a certain vanity and romantic idealism, and certainly an inability to appreciate the harshness of the reality, which will become his or her life. One suggestion, shouldn’t , “Cimmerian,” have a capital, “C”? ** Image ID #1787669 Unavailable **
