Extremely well written, very very good. The use of italics and non-italics was effective. the way it sticks to natural reality while drawing painful emotional pictures is good. It flows naturally, and never hinders the reading of it. Keep writing.

I haven't read anything of yours in quite the while and honestly, it's refreshing. I can relate to this to some sick extent. I find it ironic that you chose *now* to upload it for that very reason, but hey, it works. Keep up the great writing.
