| Posted by Bruce W Niedt on 12/06/04 at 03:52 PM My God, this is powerful. Is it hallucinatory, or just symbolic? And then the ending hits you between the eyes. An amazing work. I began reading your stuff after seeing your post on the Brag Board. No wonder you're going to the Vermont Studio.... d:-) |

Great write. This is so emotional, powerful. Indeed tragic what happen to you mother. Hope the men were caught. So scarcy for a child to go thru with her Mother. |

| Posted by Meghan Helmich on 06/12/08 at 06:24 PM woahhhh. that ending is like a slap in the face. a good one. |
| Posted by Jessica A Steenbock on 08/09/08 at 03:12 AM I truly find this to be a great way to express the feeling. As being someone who has had this happen, it is a great fear that goes along with it, with no way to truly express the effect it has on one's mind. |
