    I like the summary. It's simple, but not boring.
    Oh my gosh! That totally shocked me. Is she gonna end up really really hurt, and maybe paralyzed? Ah, what a sad twist. But it's a good kind of sad because the story was balanced with enough stuff other than sadness. For a practice piece, this was very good. The descriptions, especially of the leaves of the tree, were wonderful. I could imagine the scene clearly. And I love how you almost ended it in a parallel way to how you started it, repeating the “each second, each hour, each day” but with a different meaning. I am wowed. :)

    I really like this title.
    The story was amazing too. Your writing is gorgeous. I loved it.
    I found the layout a bit hard to read, but maybe that's just me.
    Anyways, it was beautiful.
    I loved it <3

    I like this because it has my number one favourite quality in all the world = quaintness!
    It was lovely and peaceful--the atmosphere you created, the singing in the trees.
    I like that idea, tripping on apples, and what happened.
    I'm not sure I understand so much as to why she reacted as she did, but I chalk that up to the quaint charm of it all.

    It honestly seems like you put a lot of effort in this,
    but I don't know. Maybe it comes naturally to you? Probably.
    I'm insanely jealous of your skills as a writer.
    You are absolutely magnificent at building scene & setting.
    It was very pretty, thought that word might not be worthy enough to describe it.

    Why aren't there more comments on this?

    This was one of the best pieces I have read on this site. By far.

    Gorgeous. Gorgeous, gorgeous, beautifully gorgeous.

    You did a really good job .. no GREAT job at setting the scene and building around that. I literally felt like I was standing beside Julianne watching her every move. I loved this. :)
