Very interesting. not at all what I expected it to be, but that's what makes a good story; surprises. "From Hell" is another of my fav movies, seeing as I'm a Johnny Depp Obsessor (as well as Antonio Banderas, so this movie was Heaven for me!)Hope to read more from you!

No...you gave him a lobotomy...Holy Christ!Poor Sands! Great story though, really enjoyed it. Good stuff,[I really must stop saying that, it's a tad irritating] I'm going to go and see if you've written anything else that intersts me.

Just curious, is Sands' Jack, or the Black Pearl?...impossible escapes [JS...never leaving any survivors [BP]. Lol;) Good use though, I like it, make's him seem dangerous-which he is, so you're spot on there.

No...Sands' isnt crazy, he's...um...high strung, thats all!

having a straight jacket on will not help Sands' issues of always having to be in control!

I'll review again, but I'm off to read the rest, I cant wait any longer. *jumping up and down in excitement*

That was deliciously dark and angsty. I'm only sorry that I didn't read it before now. Lovely work. :D

Arg! Damn you girl, LOL. This was utterly tragic... but very well done. Yes, I was thinking "From Hell" while reading this too. ha!

Excellent writing, and I must commend you on your bravery. ;)

All and all, despite it's darkness ( or perhaps because of it), I really enjoyed this. Like I said before, I do enjoy the occasional twisted/dark story and this definitely fitted the bill.

Hope to see more OUATIM fic from you in the very near future! If you write some more, I know I'll definitely be reading! :)

Whew, you have me rivited. Loved how Sands played w/ Christine, and manage to get the upperhand... at least for a second or two.

Really anxious to read the next chapter! So I think I will!

Scarlett

This is very insightful, the way you get into Sands mind... it's awesome.

Hmm, interesting development w/ Christine. Unexpected... and now I'm really wondering where you're going with this. I guess the only way to find out is clicking on chapter 4! LOL

Scarlett

OK, so I'm really late in replying to this... many apologies.

Oh girl, this is f-in twisted. I LOVE that.

I bow to you and your dream sequence. Truly - now on to the next chapter!

Scarlett

What was the blatant mistake? I missed a blatant mistake? My career as a CCer is over! I'm RUINED! ::wails in agony::

*taps fingers ominously on desk* You hurt Sands. Some of us just might have to hurt you, now...

No, but really. That was very good. I liked it. You captured Sands (no pun intended) very well, and the story moved along nicely. The OCs fit the plot, with no real feeling of a Mary Sue in evidence. Muy bien.

I feel depressed by this ending. Rat bastards.

I thought that you got the idea from 'From Hell'.

Okay, you do have it clearly labelled as "Angst/Tragedy", so it's not like I can say you cheated. And it's well-written. I can't say it's bad from a technical standpoint.

Nothing personal - I just plain hate what you did to one of my favorite characters! (I hated "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", too...)

Oh, funky ending! Sure didn't see that one coming. That just makes it all the better though! You are a brilliant writer!
