I think this is very in-character for Vincent, and I like the Biblical references, but there are a few things in this piece that just don't do it for me. For one, I don't get the counting that happens once or twice in the piece. Two, I feel like, if this is supposed to be Vincent's thoughts just after gettin' shot, it should be presented in a less thorough, more erratic and incoherent way. As the piece goes on, he should make less and less sense, due to all that blood he must be losing. It just seems like he explains himself too much if these are supposed to be "his thoughts."

So sure it's a one-shot, so you have to be a little more descriptive to get everything in and understandable, but this piece would've been more emotionally jarring if it were not so easy to understand.

I liked the prayer in the middle there, partly because it's in a megadeth song and also because of the way you used it. Very good characterization(did I spell that right?) I like the way that as he was dying he was blaming himself for everything. Seems like what vincent would do. So good job gold star for you!

It WAS quite emotional, but in a good way. I've got personal connections to that Psalm.

Well. It was your author's note that convinced me to review, since I don't usually. This was a very good fic, full of nice angst, shock, and confusion. It's a nice first-person view. The only thing I didn't get was the one...one...two...onetwothree thing. What is it?

And that little oxymoron is nice: and I’ll wake up dead; as well as this line, which was exceptionally cute: I never even knew life, not until mere months ago!

Keep on writing!

woah! good descriptions! :)

:O This story was so good! *Cries* Wah! I loved the part where Vincent was quoting Psalm 23. It's my all time favorite Psalm. I recite it all the time!^_^ Well, anywho, I hope you get a lot of reviews for this story! It's so wonderful and so descriptive! Even though it's very sad! /_\ Well, I hope you write more in the future! Until then!

Oh wow. This is such a beautifully tragic piece. I was crying like a baby by the end!

Wow! I really like this story.

I figure I'll review your stories on FFNet. And it's much easier to read them.

Aw... what a poignant, emotional story. It's so strong and sad. Very well written, the inserted prayer and the counting all giving it extra flavor of finality. And what a wonderful quote:

"I’ll close my eyes, and I’ll wake up dead."

Totally awesome, and very original story material for the tragic character Vincent. You get my Anime Smile of Approval, an award only dealt the most skilled of authors under my witness. *^_^*

Great portrayal of Vincent! It was as if the words were form Vincent himself! The prayer fit in perfect, too, before his death... The whole thing seems like something that would actually go through one's mind before it happens... dying... Yes, "mondo depressing," but a Vin fic that should not go unread!

Oh, man... Amazing. The Psalm was a nice touch too: it brought tears to my eyes just reading it, because you know when someone reverts to praying like that, it's at the tail end of things, and in stuff like movies and stories it makes everything more dramatic (though I would've saved it for the end). I always thought the world of FF7 had Christianity as one of its major religions - the church in Sector 6, for example... Nice touch too with the countdown. Well done.

I love this story! It's such a great look into Vincent's mind. The prayer fit very nicely; it seemed like something Vincent would do. And I loved the part with Hojo. It was almost like a poem. ^__^

I did a story like this, but it would never be this good!

Great job!

Woohoo Vincent one-shot!

Wowzers...you were right, mondo depressing. I like the parts with Vincent's and Hojo's (?) conversation type thing.

"I don’t want to die…

‘You will wish you were dead’

I have too much to live for...

'I will make you suffer'"

Pretty creepy effect. The prayer was a nice touch as well. Another thing that stood out to me was the whole countdown of One...Two...Th..r..e..e...

Cool piece on Vincent's thoughts before those last moments. I think you did a terrific job on capturing Vin during his Turk days, before he became the Vincent stuffed in a coffin.

Write on! Savvy?

It was interesting how you played on the whole survival instinct. Your getting alot better. I look foward to your next work.

WOW! XD This is spiffy, I LOVE how you write Vincent! XD Keep it up!
