    This story has so much true emotion in it it's almost unbearable at the end. Therefore it was absolutely natural to see the protagonist turn almost insane. That part where he was gathering the stones and throwing them into the water while crying was so powerful. I agree with the opinion up there that this story had cliches in it, but it also had many things that totally made it worth reading. It is especially the way you made emotions real. I gotta say the scene at the beach with the two of them lying together and watching the sky, laughing together as they sniffed the air in at the same time, giving shapes to stars up above, that was very very beautiful. It was one or two amazing paragraphs about how I imagine soulmates to be.
    As for the title, I was curious how will you use it in the story... at the beginning, when he was a kid and throwing them, it was nice. And I expected the motive to repeat... and it did in the end, and definitely didn't disappoint. That part with him throwing the stones and wishing they would skip, it was so emotionally strong I don't wonder some of the commenters above cried.
    Wonderful story :)

  • Oh. My. Fucking. God.
    This story was so sad.
    I seriously started crying, it was so heartbreaking.
    And you wrote it so beautifully too.
    I did notice a couple typos, but shh! They're easily overlooked, especially with a story as amazing as this.
    I really loved the skipping stones motif and how it all tied in with the ending.
    And I kind of really liked how you made Carter insane near the end to :]

  • You're such a great writer.
    :)
    I much prefer stories with happy endings though.
    Oh, well,
    to each his own.
    It was good,
    and visually appealing.

  • I liked this, it was beautiful and tragic,
    I was sorta sad that he killed himself in the end,
    but at lest he'll be able to see Jayson.

  • This was so beautiful and so sad.
    The way you described their relationship was simply amazing, it made me feel the love that they shared.
    I am absolutely in love with this.
    It gave me shivers.

  • That was so sad
    I was perfectly fine while reading it but when i got to the end
    My eyes started tearing up
    That was really mindblowingly sad but then the telling of how they met and stuff was really sweet
    And it just mad it all the more sadder
    But it really was great

  • All right, overall I'd say that this was definitely very good. I like especially how you used the picture as a huge focus of your story and tied the title in beautifully. Also, the whole, 'skipping stones into the ocean' was definitely original and so you get good points there.

    Watch your sentence structure though. I had to take mental breaths during some of the reading because there were quite a few run-on sentences; there were also a few repeats and errors but overall it was well done. There were a couple cliches in there, such as the best friends turn into lovers, or the soul mates, but you had a very original idea so it balances in the end.

    Pretty sad at the end but nice job. Thanks for entering the contest.
