The despair in the story was palpable. Good story.

Very nice. Beautiful descriptions.

*...hgk...* (That's the sound of me, holding my breath and making inverted gasps of amazement.)

That was amazing prose. I am especially pleased that nothing swooped in at the last minute to fix everything.

WOW! This is awesome writing! Really spicy and descriptive-I really love it _

I usually hate the ones that end on this note, because they're so horribly sad. But with the way you write it, I can't stay angry at you. It's still too lovely.

That one was sad, and the cat image-okay, it's happened, but still a sad story.
