This sentence: She took a breath, picked up the knife, and her world dissolved in green, brown and red.
Beautiful. ;__;
This was so wonderfully written. I wish you would have expanded it a bit more though, gone deeper into the emotions of Maggie and what was going on in her mind a bit more.
But I read this story and man, I was also amazed :) It seemed to me it was all told from a very distant perspective, like someone who wasn't emotionally involved but just trying to get a point across. Which is hard to do because one doesn't want to overkill a serious story with too many emotions but I agree on wanting more feeling to Maggie's character. Though I suppose the fact that you've made me wanting to know more about Maggie is something to applaud too since I usually don't end up feeling this way… ^.^ Anyway, nice job on the contest and good luck on any future writing you do!
