I almost cried. Like, my eyes got all wet.

I don't know if I like it, it made me sad and tense and miserable. But it's good and well written, and very honest, I guess. Sounds so sincere and painful, like he means every word, like a real story. That's the worst about it and what made me almost cry.

Christian is very fucked up, but we don't really know anything about him. He's the classic abusive type, caring at a second and violent at the other, but that's all we know. Still, I don't like him. It's not fair to not like someone when you don't know them, but I don't like him. I don't even really care about Cody either, but I feel sorry for him all the same. He's got no one and I know he'll love his brother forever.

Anyway, I got curious about the end, but that's ok. It's a pretty good story.

in your words: "oh motherfucker you suck, you should've added that you bitch!"

naw, as much as i hate it, it could not have been better (even with the open ending)

What I liked about the story that whatever happened has been put in a way that the reader can actually feel the hurt and pain...however, if I could change a few things (which I can't because this lovely piece of writing is credited exclusively to you), I would make it evident WHY Christian used to such things...was he not mentally stable? 'No' should be the only practical answer because - 1) I know what kind of love exists between siblings, especially when they have nobody else, and 2) at one time he used to love Cody and the next moment he would be heartlessly causing him pain...that is not love!

Also, had you included anologies with nature any place else, the one at the end would have made some more sense because Cody did not come off as a very poetic person. And the ending is too sketchy - what happens when Cody falls? How does Christian die? What happens to Cody after that? If not the last question, the others should have been answered.

Uh, I'm scared of sounding too complimentary, in case it's misconstrued as 'fangirling'. But, yeah, if you don't like the review then don't read it? Which would be a shame seeing as it's YOUR story. :-). I'm rambling.

If I were to pick out some points that I really thought were fantastic, they'd be the ones to do with nature. I'm not sure, but I'd guess that you used pathetic fallacy a few times? I thought it was very cleverly incorporated.

I genuinely loved the whole plot; it was moving and didn't shy away from abuse.

I suppose I have to be a bitch at SOME point today, so I'll just settle for saying that I thought the dialogue could've been more engaging; I found the most interesting parts were the descriptions of the speaker's love.

It may sound unoriginal and crap, but I thought it was an incredible story. I'm envious of your talent. Thanks for reading this xoxoxoxo

D: Wow. You've got awesome imagery. The description right at the end was amazing, I couldn't tear my eyes off the screen.

I feel so sorry for Cody. And Chris. :(

Great story. :D
