abuseOh I loved it. :D
It was so good, a great version of the whole Revenge of the Outcasts idea.
Nice work, totally lovely.

abuseThank you for all of the reviews, first and foremost, on One Thousand Years, your kind words encourage me to get more updates out. :)

Also, I'm reviewing this piece because I thought it was rather curious. This piece, while short, is full of poignant emotion and a very interesting world view. It shows full well the interaction of so-called "normal" human beings, and the stigma that attaches itself to those who are different. (Shown particularly in the phrase "She had tainted it."). I also enjoyed the fact I didn't have a clue where the story was going until the last few paragraphs.

Thank you for writing something meaningful, with substance, character, and with a definite acumen for human interaction. If the rest of your works are like this, I will be sure to take pleasure in reading them just as much.

Keep Writing!

abuseThe plot itself was good, and the dialogue was fulfilling, but the descriptive language left something to be desired. Also, the ending has to be adjourned, perhaps a sequel?

abuseYou know, I found that story pretty... pretty funny. Darkly ironic. Or maybe it's just my sense of humor. I love the premise-- it works well as a short, but I think it could definitely work just as well as a longer piece. Very nice.

abuseWell, after reading this, I'm not too sure if there's anything supernatural about it due to the end. Anyway, interesting one shot here. It's rare to see that someone would try using the whole issue of bullying as the main theme. Anyway, glad to see that you're still around here. Hope to see more of your works soon. :)

abuseIt was kinda like a voodoo doll on paper. The boy had it coming. Loners always do seem to be the butt of a lot of jokes.

abuseI really like this! It was a...fulfilling read. If that makes any sense whatsoever. xD
[It was when everything happened, similar to how freaks came out at night.] Loved this line. I got the perfect image. :)

abuseOoh, neat. Love how his quote comes back...distorted...at the end. I'm a sucker for that kind of thing and it was a nice taste of his own medicine.

I'm not sure if I liked how vague it was or if I would've liked more... I like how it focuses on the main character's feelings but because I'm pretty cruel myself, I wouldn't have minded knowing more about what happened to the dude...just to know just how cruel she apparently was.

I liked it. Nice idea. :D

abuseInteresting... Karma can be a **, especially when it comes back at you.

I guess he got what he deserved... Way to handle the situation.

abusehey.
the beautiful element of flash fiction is getting to the end and going whoa! and this has it :)
we don't realize exactly what's going on the last few lines. I was wondering if she went "it was only a matter of time before they realized..." or "it will only be a matter of time..." maybe i am using the phrase wrong but that's what i thought it should be. i like the few changes you made. her name wasn't literally carved on, the fact that she had done other drawings and no black nail polish.

well like i said before wow

good luck with your other writings too

:)

abuse"Amaranth", Meaning: Immortal; unfading

I like it when a writer uses a name that means something, rather than just thinking it sounds cool.

The only thing I can think of to improve is possibly to add more details, just to plump the story up a bit and heighten the suspense.

Otherwise, this is a great story and I like how the supernatural edge is introduced towards the end rather than being there from the beginning. You're clearly talented.
