Violence in stories

The most recent episode of Bike and probably at least one more will feature violence. It's not something I enjoy writing about, although I find it challenging because I try to avoid it in real life as much as I can.

Unfortunately, I followed the characters into a dark area and it appears to be the only way out of this aspect of the story, and I am horrified that Cathy can give vent to such primordial actions to preserve herself and her loved ones, at the same time I'm sort of pleased she can do what is necessary. I'm not sure I could in her position.

In my adventure story Snafu, the violence is a bit fantastical, mostly aimed at magical thought forms, and the whole ethos is fantasy. In Bike, it's more realistic without I hope any sense of gratuitousness - doubtless, readers will tell me if it borders on that.

Angharad.
