Beautiful, haunting descriptions. Wonderful metaphors. Everything about this is wonderful except for the "almost." It doesn't matter that it was an almost, you were abused, and it takes a toll on you, mentally and physically.
As a victim of abuse, I feel this story in more ways than one.

Haunting is all I have to say.

That is one of the most horrible things that I have read before.
Now, I don't know you at all, but I think you are really brave for putting this up.
And you gave me goose-bumps on my arms.

There aren't really proper words for reviewing something like this. I got chills at the end. I can relate to it, too. It's disturbing and fantastically well-written and extremely moving, even though I can't say what exactly it moves inside me.

This is very well-written. Extremely honest, like I rarely see in narratives. I'm surprised you can talk about this as well as you can, and I don't know why that is. Maybe it's just because I'm grasping at something to say in an effort to make it better. But as you said, there's nothing that you really can say.

I hope getting it out made you feel better. You have a way with prose.

Oh my god.
I can't even type.
Jules, this is probably the best writing I have ever seen out of you.
Just wow...

Maybe I just feel obliged to review because I was molested before but I think it's pretty brave of you to post this. I know the feeling of wanting to tell people, even people you've just met that you've been molested and I can empathize with you.
