The countdown was very clever. The characters are amazingly well developed for such a short story and this is a very realistic reaction for someone to have. Wonderfully written, I commend you.

..So I'm writing this to spite a fictional character. Because right now you currently have 99 reviews, and I want to ruin that. x3 I love this story, but I'm desperately curious to know what was in that letter! Though I guess it is better.. Hate when characters are to solid to manipulate. :x Great writing!

I don't know how to review death.

I loved this story because it deals with what people on an everyday basis go through. Good job on it, and write more if the insperation comes to you.

I don't quite get this one...?? Im confused... sort of. Nice writing tho =)

I really like your style of writing~

after reading this about a zillion times, i think i'll finally review.

one: i love it, and i think i'd love you if i ever met you, but i guess i don't know.

two: it's seriously been so long since i discovered this that it gives me a nostalgia-attack just to think about it. and you know how when things get so familiar you barely even know your opinions about them anymore? like, the way you can't even tell if your best friends are pretty or not after you've known them for so long? that's how i feel about this. but i can tell you, when i first read it, i couldn't get enough of you.

three: it's hard for me to think that there might be something, at this point, that you haven't heard. even while writing this, it feels like maybe this review is just the same thing over again, so i don't know what to say.

four: years back, when i used to write song lyrics, i thought the title of this was prefect, so i used the line. that was before i started listening to neutral milk hotel (that is where you got it, right? unless it's your own brainchild.. great minds think alike?) if that is where it's from, it seems so cool to me now, like borrowing inspiration from borrowed inspiration. i mean, what a chain, right?

anyway, what i want to say is, uh. well, thinking back there wasn't a point, really, but thanks for writing this kind of thing. somehow, it ended up being a big part of my life.

As if the 93 reviews aren't already a testament to your brilliance, I shall review. This was... something. How to describe it escapes me as do the words I suppose I originally intended to use to show my appreciation for you posting this online. But something has managed to stay in my ever-distracted head and that something seems to be my next few words:
I liked it.

this was really, really pretty.

That was really beautiful.

I loved this story! Bittersweet, I guess. (:

Your story was amazing. A friend of mine just commited suicide a couple weeks ago..and for some odd reason I just happened upon this. No ides how. But this actually helped me in some way. It might not mean a thing to say..but thank you. This helped me cope a little better which seems dumb, but it is true.It was simply beautiful and well written.

like a really, really awesome hero

Wow.

I don't mean to sound shallow when I tell you that this is deep.

I really liked it, this piece, it has... personality. I can actually understand the character, instead of just knowing she has brown hair and is tall, for example, I can see what is in her head. Which is something I rarely see here on fictionpress. It belongs more in some best-selling or just plain awesome author's book. And I'm not talking about teen novels here. I'm definately favoriting this one. And I really don't mean to sound stupid or anything, but the thing is, I find it hard to speak - or sometimes even write- my feelings.
