Re: Red

I liked it a lot.

The only 2 things I had a problem with are:

1. the use of the word "floor" twice in 2 sentences. It's not technically wrong, but another word would have done the job much better.

2. the description of the kitchen -- Red.

The entire room was red. The floor, the walls, the lights, the memories, the dreams, and especially the nightmares. She looked to the refrigerator and noticed the red streaks painted upon the door as if done with a paintbrush.

Maybe it's just me, but it's all just too red for me. The image I got was a room that was really completely red, as if it were painted with red paint, had red lights, a red floor, etc. Instead if you could describe something like the walls being streaked with red or something... I know this is implied, but I just think it's not brought out immediately in that sentence.
