I don't often read original work, instead choosing to spend most of my time on with the familiar characters I feel so safe with. But your story was hardly the creepy guy with candy I usually associate with original work. I really enjoyed it! I didn't expect to be so caught up in it, but I was! It was as captivating as any of the fiction stories out there today, but I was reminded most of the Maximum Ride series, in a way. I hope you still use your account. I noticed you haven't updated anything since 2006. You were always my favorite reader. Now I get to thoroughly enjoy your work.
