    This was beautiful. I love your writing and always will. Currently, I lack the proper vocabulary to precisely express my feelings of this. Just know it made me feel nicel.

    You already know that I think this is fantastic. It gives this really clear image of what you're trying to convey, while at the same time it's obscure. Wonderful, as always!

    I like the line in the summary page. At first it made no sense to me at all, and then I remembered: Trojan horse. Very nice.

    I am so confused right now, but I like it. It's so different and mysterious in a way. Is he a zombie? Is she crazy? Whatever this is, I like it a lot.

    I was lost in this story. Both in a good way and a confused way. Good because your words were so descriptive and they pulled me in. Confused because I'm not sure if I fully understand what is going on, but in either case, I was drawn in.

    Your grammar and everything were on point and your wording was great. Definitely a piece that was well written. Great job :) I thoroughly enjoyed this piece even if I didn't fully understand the concept. Please don't take it the wrong way though <3

    This is beautiful
    I got lost in it (a good thing)
    It's very powerful and flowed so well naturally
    I enjoyed reading this a lot and will be a regular reader of your works now :)

    I kept going back and re-reading it. It's deep and I just can't describe how well written it was. The story was really amazing and it makes me look back and say: "That's a good short story! It was so well written." The wording was amazing and I am probably going to read it again so I can try to understand though I probably can't.

    I pretty much liked this! The only thing that got my confused was the title... but I don't care about that! I thought it was a good idea... and my fave line was the one about hell burning the fingers.!

    Sorry I couldn't think of a very long comment... but good job!(;

    I kept going back trying to read it and understand. I feel lost, but I guess because as I started reading I immediately took it literal and kind of lost myself in that feeling. I see that it's not supposed to, and I'm trying to figure out the figurative meaning, but my head is drawing up blank. I feel like because of this i can't give you a very good comment, but I'm trying my best. It seemed strong, powerful. I like the inner conflict that is just too obvious. I want to know what it is about the dirt and all. I'm so confused. Haha.

    This was very, very deep. It flowed like butter; in fact, the flow was so smooth that it almost felt like reading a poem. In a way, I saw this as more poetry than fiction, but don't take that the wrong way. A piece of work is whatever the author intended it to be. I loved it as a story and a poem.

    This was definitely the kind of thing I had to read more than once. I felt like I was trying to hard to really see the theme or the hidden point. Still, I'm not sure I really got it, but I'm satisfied.

    I feel like maybe this was a strong "love/hate" relationship. Maybe the person who did the "burying" got rid of the other, knowing that this person wasn't good for them (I say this because they seem to be "hell-bound"). Still, as we all know personally, it isn't always easy to give up something that's bad for you. There is some type of infatuation I feel going on here. The main character cannot believe that this person is really gone, and they continue to see them.

    I loved your wording. There wasn't a lot of descriptions, but I didn't feel there needed to be. This story relied on more internal conflicts and descriptions, other than concrete objects around the characters. I was attention grabbing and solid- start to finish. You have a lovely talent :)
