First off, I'd like to thank you for entering this in my contest and I'd like to apologize that it took me this long to get around to judging it. I must admit that part of the reason this is one of the last entries that I'm reading is that it's an 11,000 word oneshot; I feel like that might be better formatted as a short story because it is a lot to read at once. Nonetheless, onwards with the story itself.
“You know that your mom called my momma and asked about my bruises?” You asked, I've seen this a few times. That You shouldn't be capitalized; some of yours weren't and some of them were, but it isn't meant to be.
You did a great job at writing these characters as kids; you didn't dumb them down but you also didn't make them unbelievable. It was the perfect combination. :)
Wow. I haven't finished the story yet but I was not expecting that ending at all. That was so completely and utterly sad. I take back what I said about this being better as a short story; there wasn't anywhere that you could have really broken this into another chapter. It flowed so smoothly together and I could tell that you worked really, really hard on this. You did a really good job on it and I'd like to thank you for entering it in my contest!
Oh my god..I cried so bad after reading this. The tears just wouldn't stop. you're a very amazing writer and this story just..it tugs at my heart strings, to be honest. Thank you for the pleasure of your words.
Son of a bitch, that was amazing. I was fighting tears pretty much the entire time. That was absolutely brilliantly written. I loved the way it continued for a bit still in Chris's POV after he died. Brilliant.
I don't even know if words can describe this. It's utterly amazing, that's all I can really find to say, and I absolutely adored the way you wrote it. Your writing skill almost made me jealous, like DAMN, WHY DON'T MINE TURN OUT THIS GOOD? But honestly, it left me at a lack of words, which is probably why I'm rambling now. All the hard work paid off, as far as I'm concerned, I love this.
