Dude this story. THIS STORY.
Okay first when I read the title I was like damn, someone's got their life fucked up if the only "person" they can talk to is a leftover voice. And then I actually entered the world of the story (ha, forgive my cheesiness) and then it was just so weird because reading it, everything just SEEMED black and white and sometimes things were clear but for the most prat, everything seemed blurry. And lordy some of the lines are just so beautiful it's barely comprehensible. I'm so sorry for him, but at the same time maybe he deserved it. I don't know.

I like the questions that she has because just within them you can tell what kind of a person she is. Maybe she's a wandering artist idk I wouldn't know but I get that impression. Also +1 for the Death Cab line because I feel like the song fits the story and not the other way around, the way these things usually are.

This is excellent! Your descriptions are beautiful, and the emotions he feels are well expressed through your words. I love the fifth paragraph in this, it is the best part of the story. Nicely done :)

At first, I was confused by the story but it was somewhat clear to me by the end of the chapter. His girl left him, right? That explains the booze, the flashbacks, and him, leaving a message for her. I also understood the title at the end. Well, I think I did. Anyways, this is something I usually don't read but I'm glad that I did. The emotions in the story and the words you used are amazing. I've read some of your stories before and you have a detailed and peculiar way of writing. Actually, I can say that this story is one of the top short-stories I've ever read in my whole life.

I have two favorite lines. One is this, "Shadows and a lonely heart have this way have brewing together in that terribly morbid fashion that is only good for kindling thoughts the of future and the past and the universe and her" and the other is, "This is fact not fiction, for the first time in years." You have amazing talent for writing and I hope that you continue to make more pieces like this in the future. I really enjoyed it and I hope to read more.

This is beautiful. You have a very interesting way of writing, it's elegant almost. I love the ending and how it doesn't necessarily leave you hanging, but wanting so much more. I'm excited for you to update.

They say the more you try to not miss someone the more you miss them. Your story proves that. I really loved your use of detail. Not many girls on here use a lot of detail, myself included and mainly dialogue, so it was nice to see a story with so much detail. I felt like I was sitting along side him. fantastic story I have to read other stories of yours!

This story is super duper awesome! You need to write more. This story is very detailed and the title is enough to make me wanna read the whole entire thing. Can't wait to read the rest, its very interesting so far.

"This is fact, not fiction, for the first time in years." what a fucking great line and all your writing is great and you better update this soon and same with 'chest death' hehe
