Loved it. Well written, well paced, well executed. I'm glad that I randomly found this listed as a favourite on another's profile. I generally shy away from items listed as "angst", as they're almost always overdone, but you control it well. The sudden use of dialogue in part 8 was somewhat jarring, yet not unpleasant.

Really beautiful. You use language elegantly and precisely.

A true wordsmith, you have hammered out a fine tale. The emotions are vivid and heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing.

Love it. I'm quite happy that you thought of writing about the darker side of being a Warden.

Beautiful. I don't read many stories on the site, but I'm glad I found yours. Very different perspective to things, well written and extremely thought-provoking. A work to be proud of. :)

Wow. That was intense and wonderful and just wow.

I absolutely love this story. It's very powerful, very moving, but short, and that makes it that much more powerful.

*sob* Why does everything beautiful have to be so damn depressing?

You have a beautiful way with words. The imagery is eloquent, the phrasing musical and poetic. Thank you for sharing this.

Wow I really like this. You're making me not hate the Cousland origin so much. :)

I love it. It's short and simple. Keep writing!

I like this. Short, simple. A lovely glimpse into Cousland's mind.
