Wow, that was really great. It left me feeling empty... not in a bad way though. I mean, of course in a bad way, because it's a bad feeling, but I mean you did a god job of conveying the right emotions and such. It was really great.

Great final chapter. Yeah, not to much happy ending but kind of fitting.

Keep the good writing.

To be perfectly honest...I am sort of confused...but it may just be me...it's been a stressful day and my mind's not around. But you are a good writer...maybe I just need to read it again...

This is good. Like . . . really good.
I'm really looking forward to the last chapter!

Hm, this chapter is so dark... Much darker than the previous one. And to say the truth I'm not sure if it was your intention. Using of author's speech instead direct speech scenes creeates some uncomfortable effect... And I can notice that the style of the story differs through the chapter. It looks like you were writing it very slowly.

Why everyone thinks that Miriam left the house by her free will? I mean, she "went out for doughnuts" and was going to "be back soon", wasn't she? Maybe she got robbed, killed, or kidnapped? But you never mentioned police.

Great foot-falafels scene.

I guess it wouldn't hurt if you'd use some parallels between current situation and Arnold's failure to find his own parents.

You can do it and you will.

Excellent chapter here. Especially good job with Arnold and his never ending crusade to help other people no matter how much can affect him.

Keep the good writing.

Miriam's doing the old "going out for a pack of cigs" routine, huh? If she was once like Helga is now, are we to assume that someday, Helga will leave Arnold because she's changed too much?

Interesting concept, really, and one I love writing about, so please pardon me if I read too much into this. Really, I love seeing a Miriam story on here (one where she isn't a neglectful alcoholic), so even if you don't continue this, it was a nice change of pace from what usually gets posted to this site. Thanks. :)

Well, I could complain that if there were several tapes, then there was recorded too much on just one of them, and that VHS didn't exist when Miriam was young... But I don't wanna complain. Miriam is very underappreciated character. Episodes like Road Trip give us glimpse to what Miriam was in the past, and I always was intrigued by it. I hope you'll develop a good story.

I liked it! :3 And yeah, I've never seen a fanfic written from Miriam's p.o.v., so kudos!
Sometimes, it was a bit hard to tell who was talking to who, tho. but maybe that's just me? ^^; anyhow, I'd be interested to see how things turn out/unfold in the next chapter!

A Miriam's fic... rare yet welcome!

Very nice job on the video scenes and describing her mood and thoughts.

Keep the good writing.
