Reviews For: The Crying Girl
A.G. Herrin 2009-09-03 . chapter 1
Beautifully written. You've captured so subtlety the perfect essence of her character with very few words. I admire short stories like this. I've always struggled saying what I wish to say in few words. I also loved how you left so many things open for each reader to interpret it in their own way. You are a remarkable writer.

Powerful. I like how you begin this piece, alluding to the suicide in the first line. In a few places, I feel commas would help the flow flow of the piece. "Inadvertedly he was helping her in ways he would never understand" change this to "Inadvertently he was helping her, in ways he would never understand." Then put a comma in the sentence "Her blood running with her tears, coalescing into the bath that would be her watery grave". You expertly describe the actual cutting--you made me cringe. The only thing I would change here, is the wording, "she was finally realizing her penultimate plan." Penultimate just doesn't really fit here...I would find another word. Lastly, I would rearrange the italicized wording at the end. "She felt as if she could hear the scream from beyond" is a great line, but vague due to its placement. "She" could be referring to the sister. Regardless, good piece. I love how you end it; I was actually expecting the girl to back down.

First off let me say that this really made me sit back and think and look at the people around me. Take a good look around me and what they're like taking their feelings into consideration. Just it's well written and put together.
