    I liked this story. The concept of it was different, as I've never seen something similar on here.

    I still sleep with a blanket I've had since I was a baby, and I don't think I could ever get rid of it. This story kinda made me think of that.

    Good job.

    I feel like you tell too much and not really show. And the character sounds very stale, and a bit...looney? I don't know if I ever had this fascination with a blanket. I used to with a Barney doll. Like when I thought there was a vampire in my closet, I would hold my barney doll and the vampire would go away. I was like eight, though. In this, I feel like it is an older girl speaking, but the narration doesn't match the plot. I don't really feel much sympathy for this character at all.

    It also felt a bit rushed through :/

    I really liked this. Simple, yet effective.
    I think it's more poetic, mind. As the main theme of it appears to be a metaphor, and some of the language used reminds me of poetry.
    This works well as a story, but would be amazing if you wrote a similar poem, too =D

    You've wonderfully captured her emotions on everything, I find.
    The significance of the blanket is interesting I find, as her outlook on life is.
    A really good read, I like it a lot. (:

    This is great, especially for you first one-shot. I really loved the line: "I'll live today and die tomorrow, but I'll know somewhere I belong."

    This was absolutely breathtaking. I agree with your friend that it sounds almost like a poem, but it's still a story too. You should definitely do more one-shots =)

    This is an interesting way to look at a blanket. For many children a blanket represents safety, and I suppose that a cancer patient would view it the same way. Almost some desperate attempt to cling on to youth, to life.

    I work to pay my hospital bills, and I pray that I well live but things only seem to get worse.
    That should be will, not well. Justsayin'.

    Well done (:
