    Saravana, I love the idea to show the letter as images, but red font on bloody red paper template (to indicate the grotesqueness of the incident) is difficult to read. Can't make out a thing. :/

    Thanks Leo. I'm glad you asked the question. The reason considering that it is a letter written by the victim who is stabbed, raped and breathing her last. She is using her blood to write on a paper that flew to her from the road side. For sure, it will be dirty, and since she is using the blood to write, it also spills on the paper.

    I can understand your frustration, that's the reason I have added the text version of the same. Moving the text version to the top to make it easy for readers. Though I prefer to read the image, which will show the grotesqueness of the incident.

    The story behind the story is even more painful...(from your reply to Vinay) I was just going to ask you that..the story kind of tugs at your heart, and though you are mentally prepared for what is to come, it still punches you in the face.

    This is the most bitter heart wrenching fact and you have brought forward the pathos in a strong way. Speechless.

    Sarav,Re-reading this for the third time, I've read many posts from you on similar topics but this one would ascend them. You certainly creatively and thoughtfully weaved the use of blood stains on the paper. And the unfinished word is highly symbolic.For once I secretly hoped, this letter wouldn't be unsent.Good luck for BAT. =)

    Prunzaye,

    This is the kind of comment that encourages the writer to explore more, and it is more than winning the BAT Crown. Thanks a million and yes, you made my day!

    As you said, the unfinished words are more painful in this letter. Think of the situation that the guy gets to read the letter, for sure he would go mute and mad. Thanks again for stopping by!

    Your words create a gory and haunting image, and the background adds to it. Good work.
