Awesomeness. Love it. Completely entertaining and psychotic. I love Red Eye too.

Ah, that last line; it's a killer! Brilliantly plotted.

I like drawing faces, so I was totally admiring your loner boy's skills, and how deftly he can capture his models' images on paper.

I really enjoyed the building sense of unease and how the girl also becomes uneasy, yet still cannot bring herself to end the 'relationship'. I'd be curious, too, about his past.

Thanks for the entertaining tale.

(You know, you made me laugh out loud reading your Author's Note, too!)

Interesting. Very interesting, and original. I enjoyed it!

sweet sugary freaking goodness.

...ahem. That was good...Very good.

wow...incredibly chilling...id be scared if i were one of your freinds too! haha, not really...very well written though. will there be any more?

Oh! Even though it was a bit predictable, like i still wasnt sure if i was right or not! IT IS SO GOOD! i cant wait to read more!

O, my, gosh... Freaky-ess... . Ah!

Good, but not very suspenseful for me - from the moment with the sketchbook I guessed the ending.I think it was a good place to end it though, because it leaves what happens next as indefinate.

This was excellent. I was sure you were going to making him a rapist or something, what with the "many young girls who looked her age. All were clothed..." part, but I was surprised. This was good. Yay for good short stories!

One nitpick: the story seemed a bit passive. Not that you're using the passive voice, just that I think it would be more vivid in the present tense. Nevertheless, it's a good story.

Hah, I'd be worried if you carried around your sketchbook...

Uh oh...I carry my sketchbook around everywhere with me. I hope my friends don't read this...

I really admire your ability to create such an atmosphere, and such characters, in such a short work. You achieve in one chapter what other writers (myself included) take pages upon pages to build. That's so cool. I also like how the young man is an artist, I'm an artist too and I know that some of them can be pretty damn creepy. It comes with the lifestyle, I think, and it makes it all that much more believable. Another thing I love about this, I'm not sure if you planned it this way or not, was that the only actual diologe was the very last line. That gives his words a whole new force behind them, since they're the only ones the reader 'hears' directly.

If I don't stop soon, my review is going to be as long as your story! O.O With all that said, awesome work!

Whoa, how creepy! O_O I wish there was more... ; 'Cause I would have liked to see her reaction... Well, that was awesome, the writing was just...plain awesome! The summary of this story interested the most so I picked it, (I like art and all. XD) and well, I'll go read more!

Oh Wow! That is absolutely creepy. I love how you kept rising the tension, and made it very mysterious, until eventually the truth was let out. It is very nicely done! Another great job!

*creepy shudder* very good! One word of advice... I kinda could tell he murdered his parents early in the story... try to make him not seem like such a sketchbag until later in the story.

... -shudder- Freaky. Now I will never trust another guy with a sketchbook ever again.-clutches her own sketchbook- Stuff of nightmares. Awesome.
