Hark! A post!
She had had nightmares all through her childhood. She couldn’t sleep for fear of them. What did it matter that her last nightmare had been when she was only ten years old? They haunted her still. She lived as an insomniac for the next ten, grateful, not for her life or for her family and friends, only grateful for the beautiful, heaven-sent pills

But on a happier note, well done! That was, I beleieve, the best thing so far that I've read by you. Actually no, that's an untruthful statement, I've read too many good things by you to count...mostly short story-type things. Nonetheless, it's definitely in the top *insert number* of my favourite stories by you! And ah, how privileged I feel - first comment!
Anyway, there was nothing that screamed for criticism or editting, so you should leave it in all its natural splendour, and excuse me while I go fume over the fact that I had nothing to correct. What a wasted life I lead *sighs*
It's great!!! Thanks for telling me to read it, 'twas verrrry enjoyable, and quick too! XD

And really thank you! ^^ I'm glad you liked it so much lol, I didn't know whether you would or not :P You know that you should be giving me stuff to read toooo... *pouts* I have such a headache *random* XD Stupid TOK. How pointless was that bloody lesson? Although that presentation was pretty funny :P
Good! Haha can I criticise your spelling of editing? :p *couldn't help herself* Your life isn't wasted! You can go and work now! hahaha
Well if I don't tell you these things then you'd never know :P Haha I told you! Now you can get back to Quiscience! ^^

The one thing that kind of bugged me was your comma use.
For example:
She lived as an insomniac for the next ten, grateful, not for her life or for her family and friends, only grateful for the beautiful, heaven-sent pills that gave her just a little extra agility, so she was nimble enough to catch a wink or two, every night.
Six commas in a single sentence? O.o
However, while it was distracting, I don't think that it took much away from the story.
I agree with haido_no_ai that this was one of the best things that I've read by you :) . I think that you've grown too!
because catching dreams in nets made her think of the BFG, and because she had no faith in superstitions.
That was probably my favorite passage (I liked the whole paragraph, too!). Again, very, very lovely. :)

Oh god!!!! *hangs head in utter shame* Rereading that, I can completely see what you mean :P they're everywhere! I will *have* to do something with that. Thanks for pointing it out! I hate excessive commas.:P
Yay for growth! XD To be honest, I'm fairly surprised that you both liked it *that* much lol.
Heehee I love the BFG!! I was watching the film the other day :P Thank you again!! <3333333

Unusual to see you here! :P And I will add you now yay!
Or! Maybe you don't dream because your dreamcatcher saves you from nightmares!:O lol. I have one at my window that I've had for like 10 years. They're pretty! ^^
And thank you for your yay! And you're not crap! I would have more evidence to say that if you would actually SEND me the damn thing though lol.

I suppose I used to dream a lot more as a kid, when I had a full freaking night of sleep. LOL. I also have Greek prayer beads hanging with mine. Lots of culture hanging above me.
:P It needs more staring at first.

It's a bit slow sometimes XD There were a few days last year where it didn't work at all.
Ahhh yeah XD Don't worry Dougal the full nights of sleep will come back eventually! I think I may have had a dream last night where I was getting married... O_o
