Whoa. That's all I can say. It's not my kind of story, but I really liked this! I loved the first two paragraphs and Jessica. Those paragraphs set her character up perfectly and showed what kind of person she was immediately. The best is when she talks about how "perfect" she is. I am a shameless theatre geek and I know people (myself included), who are just in love with their voices and, well, themselves. So I identified with her plight and overall demeanor.
And Chris' development took longer, like into the second chapter. But that's what gave the story more mystery and creepiness. The second chapter made me feel uneasy, and I assume that was your goal. You achieved it! Woo! =P The stitching scene was very well written. You combined his thoughts and actions smoothly and it wasn't choppy at all.
The layout was nice and not too distracting. The banner was... incredibly relevant. And it was well made, which is a plus! <3
When that child falls and scraps their knee, there will always be that scar. Like this in our lives, just a scrape.
GREAT synonym here. It really gives the reader a piece of Chris's mind: "Oh, this is no big deal. When she wakes up she'll forgive me and we'll just laugh about all of this later."
And the ending was great! You could really get a feel for Chris's slow deterioration on the inside, and how messed up his obsession or infatuation with Jessica really made him.
This was really well done! Definitely creepy and suspenseful :) I liked this a lot!
