    I liked this so much.

    Your descriptions and writing style had me completely focused on the story you were telling. It was really well written. It would be interesting to know more about the girl in the story, not necessary though.

    The ending was sad, but I'm glad that she was finally able to sing.

    The whole thing was just absolutely beautiful and I enjoyed reading it.

    Not praise worthy? I believe not.

    Not only was my attention captured with your descriptive words, but my ever-growing curiosity drove me forward. Lack of dialogue didn't really bother me; in fact, it took this oneshot to a whole new level. Everything was described with such a haunted feeling, as if the girl was living in a nightmare.

    I'm still wondering why she was unable to listen to the music box, or why she cherished it so much. But that's alright, the just leaves me right enough space to imagine as many possibilities as I wish.

    Was she actually a doll, a ghost, someone's figment of imagination? I'll never know, but I'm not bothered by this. Everything was so beautifully described, I'm sure that I'm close to knowing the answer.

    Wow.
    This was a great story, I loved it.

    Your introduction was very...creepy? But I like creepy.
    It was strong, and also terrifying.
    Loved it.

    I'm not sure if you were aiming for this or not, but I honestly didn't think she was actually a doll.
    The entire time I thought it was a metaphor, but I guess I was wrong.
    I'm glad I was wrong, though; it was like a surprise ending.
    Again, loved it.

    This story was just so..... real.
    It's scary, almost, but beautiful nonetheless.
    There was a dark feeling from the start, and you obviously set the right mood.

    Your character development was great.
    Like, seriously; you had me wanting to read the entire thing.
    It was good enough where I was growing more and more anxious as I read on.
    The way you wrote the girl really caught my attention, and kept it.

    You, darlin', are a great writer. (:

    That was beautiful, Meg.
    The way you string words together is breath-taking and the consistency of your writing amazing. I love that this story had such a bizare, dark feel to it even though it was Christmas themed. I genuially believe that you are capable of writing any genere with highly captivating emotion and realism effortlessly intertwined into the plot, and this is yet another sample of your work that proves me to be correct. Great work, Meg-o-burger-Pimp-saurus, job well done. :)

    I could already feel a tense, solemn vibe upon reading the very first words. It was a terrifyingly strong introduction.
    The flow, the character, the detail in the piece - everything kept me completely engrossed. The body was beautifully written.
    And the ending .. It was frightening, in all honestly. But it was so strangely perfect.
    This was amazing. Just the eerie mood alone is enough to keep anyone reading to the very end.
