I love the layout - it is cute. But the yellow links are hard to read. As for the story, I like your use of metaphors and alliteration. This line in particular stuck out to me, ...it was as if all the life had been sucked from her in one swift drag, leaving the hollow shell to crumble to the floor and collect like ashes beneath their feet.
I like your writing style. This was a nice piece. I'm surprised that this doesn't have one comment, despite the fact that it was published almost a year ago.
