Until It’s Done (Novella)
Until It’s Done includes the following content which might cause distress to read (click to reveal):
- Graphic Physical Violence: The main character bludgeons another person nearly to death with a metal rod; sensations are gone into in a fair degree of detail.
- Blood and Gore: There is moderately detailed descriptions of the aforementioned bludgeoning victim’s wounds, and the main character repeatedly dwells on the way the blood lingers in scent and colour.
- Threats of Violence: The main character menacingly interacts with numerous other characters, explicitly threatening harm on some, and regularly thinks of how he could hurt those around him.
- Sexual Violence: The main character has a sexual encounter fuelled entirely by a desire to reduce his own risks and with disregard for his partner; descriptions are sparse but generally carried out in harsh language that repeatedly likens her to one of his beating victims.
- Sexual Assault: The main character repeatedly considers the possibility of sexual assault, not necessarily in a context of desire but a context of possibility – he notes that he could, multiple times. Eventually these thoughts culminate in an attempt which he does not follow through on, but does push a woman up against a wall and pin her there whilst openly stating “What if I don’t care what you want?”
- Death: Numerous deaths are referenced, including the potential death of the bludgeoning victim and the definite death of a former cohort of the main character, who the main character killed while laughing. The main character thinks regularly about death, threatening it on others and feeling its threat on himself, and in the end he does die as he’s gradually paralyzed past the point of being able to breathe.
- Callousness: The main character is regularly bitterly and viciously callous about the world around him, treating almost everything and almost everyone as either a cause of misery or so far into their own that they don’t matter. He largely considers things only in terms of what they can provide to him.
- Language: Sharp and harsh language are regularly used.
