I love it, even though it's depressing.

An interesting read, but...

What has any of this have to do with the concept of existentialism? I'm really having trouble spotting the underlying message

Existentialist's main concept: Existence precedes essence

Whoa . . . talk about a good short story. Nicely done, nicely done. I caught a few MINOR spelling errors, but that doesn't really matter. Man, I can't believe this actually happened to somebody . . .

Oh dear, what a sad story. It was short, but good to read. The only suggestion I can give is to try to decieve the reader a little. Rather than type "some body" try "somebody." It conveys the notion that the speaker is expecting a person, not a corpse. I also think you could describe the sister a little more. Great job, but I hope you can write something a little happier soon.

GAAAAAH! I am so jealous! ok, you've definitely passed me up on this one. an author recognizes an author in a split second, and that's what's going on here. thanx for asking me to read up on you, i'm loving it! keep writing more stuff like this.

Oh my god. I'm knocked speechless. That was so great. You really shocked me at the end there- I was expecting something like the boy was being called to identify the body of one of his parents. I was never expecting a sister. You're very good at keeping people in suspense, and I think that your writing is wonderful.

That was quite depressing, but you described everything very well and it was really emotional for such a short fic. I kinda had a feeling it was his sister since the man had asked if his parents were home first... still, very sad and it's even more sad that this happened to your friend.

Very depressing. It was very well written and pretty exiting for being so short. Pretty good for an original peice.
