I love love love the way you use language. The metaphor of a tomb, and this: "the once familiar scent of her turns his stomach sick."
I very much like the ending, too. It's nice to see him maybe moving on somewhat...

[kaitmaree77]

LOL. Really? Writing the ending made me cry. It was more that the pain of living there was so unbearable he had to leave. Not sure about moving on. =p

But thank you. =p <3 I always appreciate the honesty of your comments. (Well, what I ASSUME is honest. =p)

I really liked this. I got a strong sense of all the different changes over time and broken promises both from his childhood and his time with Cameron. How sad it would have been for him to be alone in their home after she left. I had a listen to the song too. It's quite haunting.
Well done with this!

Thank you so much! So glad you liked it, and really glad that the emotion was conveyed in the ways I intended. :)

For all that is good in the world, Kaitlyn, you have such a way with words. I know that doesn't sound like much in way of compliments, but if only you could fully understand exactly how I mean it and how it makes me feel to read the way you piece together phrases. I truly feel emotional within myself as I read your writing, and it's such a gift.

This was a great tale of past and present, the idea of everything changing over time and yet... staying painfully the same. And the ending was just perfect -- trying so hard to relieve himself of her demons, only to find that everything around him was completely connected to her memory and the only chance of escape was, well, complete and literal escape. So wonderful. Thanks for this, a great surprise to find posted during my study break <3
