ooo, this gave me chills. Very good.

Chills! It's jackass little boys killing animals, isn't it? *is traumatized by growing up in neighborhoods populated with squirrel-murderers*

(I really shouldn't comment when I haven't had my full ration of caffeine.)

Let me 'splain. The voice is spot-on for the story and characters. The crafting of the scenes is precise and vivid, and showed the cruelty and humanity of the characters so well. And that gave me chills. Stepping-on-your-grave creepy chills, as well as universe-aligning exciting chills.

The writing gave me chills. The mean boys were jackasses. :)

Wow - immovable object meets irresistible force. Destroyer vs. Healer. And a scary conclusion.

I love opposing forces, but I love a nice gray margin even more :)

This comment will sound shallow, but I swear it isn't mean to reflect on the story, which is keen.

I really love the title. <3

True Confessions: I thought of the title first.

Wooow. Very cool. Always two sides of a coin I guess, and it makes sense that there would be the reverse to healing. There could definitely be a larger story to this. :)

It just kept wanting to get bigger and bigger-there's a whole world in here!
