Wow! I like the term "watcher" for someone like you, or in my opinion myself, who can see but not participate in some of the great points in life. You hit the key points of watchers and show how they relate to other "normal" people. The ending is very conclusive. Kinda short, but very beautiful and moving. I give it my highest recommendations.

This is utterly amazing, and so genuine feeling. It's almost a little bit scary because I often feel this exact way.

And it takes an amazing author to be able to really connect like that through a piece.so kudos and a pat on the back to you! This really is extrordinary, and my review simply does not do justice, as it would seem that I can't find the words to describe the emotions it has created within me.

*smirks slightly* very good - i like this a lot. it really reminds me of my friend Beth. she's one of those people who stands around and watches everyone else: she's a sponge. *nods firmly* yup, she's a bona fide sponge. ^~

This was beautyful. It reminds me of your poetry, it's as sad as most of it. But then again, it isn't. But it touches me and I think, it would touch everyone deeply. And somehow, it reminds me of you. The one everyboudy tells everything but who never shares a secret with others. Not the secrets he's been told, nor his own stories. Who shows what he feels through his writings rather than speaking up. And even if this one was sad, I really loved it. That's all there is to say.

Very mysterious.It's an interesting idea, but why would there be watchers if they never did anything or had any purpose?Is there more?I'd be very happy to read the explanation if you've written it.The story definately needs more added to it(even if it doesn't explain the point of watchers).I like the way it sounds, as if the person is talking to the reader.I also like the fact that the narrator is able to refer to his/her(do they even have gender?)race throughout the whole thing because talking in 3rd person is cool.Anyways, I just posted and I only got two reviews so if you have any time I would definately appriciate it if you would be so kind as to read and review.
