Purity

Title: Purity

When a title clearly links in with the story's content, it's easier for a reader to fully appreciate how much work the author has put into the thought and planning of both the story itself and the title they want to use to be a good representation of it. There are also many readers who absolutely love when a title links in clearly to the content, especially when the title itself ends up being the name of the main character within the story. So when you come across a story where the main character's name is the same as the title, there are just some people who absolutely would never pass up the chance to read it.

So stumbling across Purity was a complete wonder as the name of the child whose story we're being told is Purity. Trapped in a hospital as she's slowly dying, the young girl encounters a fallen angel within her room, one who whispers to her "Are you lonely?" which sparks a companionship between the two as he comes back and asks her a question each day.

XXXataktoulaXXX has envoked a lot of emotion into this oneshot, starting from the very beginning right the way until the end. You get a sense of hopelessness for the little girl's situation which is then broken by the appearance of the fallen angel - but all doesn't turn out like one would expect. In just over six hundred words, Purity tells a beautiful story of how someone can be so pure in such a tragic time.

It's so easy to read and the flow is just brilliant that as soon as you start you'll be completely immersed into it until you reach the end. Purity is truly something to give a chance; all it takes is a few minutes to take in what XXXataktoulaXXX has created so beautifully.
