Thanks for your encouragement Chillable! You're awesome!
I’m glad you can relate to my writing Chi Furyoku! And you’re right, every now and then, I like certain “blood-soaked tales”, because when blood&guts are involved, usually some action and suspense are just around the corner. With my character Nastasha, It was difficult to blend the reasonable amount of bloody action and character development. But I’m hoping she has turned into a good character.
Just the title of your story has caught my attention! I’m always interested in reading and providing extra reviews for stories here on the forms.

Great Story, thumbs up!
notes: I'm pretty sure you strived to make it 'tearful' when people died, but it didn't have that 'kick' to it; just remember: No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.

Thanks Shawn 55! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I did try to pour emotion into my writing based on what I thought the characters would feel during their circumstances. But I think that since this is a shorty story, I didn't grow attached to any of my characters enough to feel torn to tears if they died. Your words of wisdom seem logical.
I will definitely keep your note in mind when writing in the future. Thank you!
A very well written story. One that held my attention and breath. I will book mark this story in hopes of reading more of your work. This story was well thought out even for a shorty. I would agree that you need to have someone proofread your work. Get someone elses view and it would be to your advantage. Maybe a friend or teacher or even your dad or mom. I know sometimes we dont think our parents would make good critics or proofreaders but you would be supprised. Im a Mom and would love it if my children wanted to write stories. All the best to you hun and keep up the good work. One day i see you being published. Always keep in mind the future and what you will and can accomplish when you set your mind to a task.
You can be and do what ever you set your sights on doing.
Thank you Lil and The Level! Your feed back is extremely encouraging!
I spent some time polishing up this short story since so many people have responded so well to it! I'll try to keep editing to ensure the best quality I can!
I've been unable to spend time adding anything new to the forms this past year... (My time has been devoured by college & volunteering my summer) but I really like your suggestion, The Level, create more works/short stories! I have some ideas for more short stories that correlate with this one... We shall see!
