I couldn't decide if I wanted to name this story "Nothing Feels Better Than Surviving"

I think "Nothing Feels Better Than Surviving" says too much. You don't have to tell your reader everything for him/her to understand. Make them use their brains a little ( :

PS, I added you. Don't do a whole lot with my own journal, but I read my friends' page religiously

this is very different from your usual style. i really enjoyed it because it was something orchestrated completely by your imagination which is pretty impressive. the imagery and diologue is vivid/engaging and the many tidbits of facts shows you did some reading. i really like the historical context its placed in, and the very close first hand perspective you provide the reader. very good character developement. you played off making the two people sound like two very different individuals very well, it makes it much more realistic and interesting ( ... )

Your innate writing ability makes me feel less alone in the universe.

Bravo.
