*wipes tear from eye* That's one of the best tortures I've ever seen for Sam. TCG as his daughter? Genius. XD

Thanks! :) I do what I can. *eg*

*hands you a tissue*

Holy crap that ending is creepy as shit! AHH! Awesome mate. :D

[jantalaimon]

*grins* I am so happy you think so! :D Thanks!

[skyballetdancer]

Wow, that's such a cool story. And the ending's really creepy!

[jantalaimon]

Thank you so much; I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D

I loved how you wrote everything slotting into place so perfectly that it read like a dream you have where everything goes much too smoothly. The type of dream we have all have had where it feels so real you are almost convinced that it is really happening. And just like those dreams, there is always the shocking twist at the end that wakes you up out of a sound sleep and stays with you for the rest of the day.

But unfortunately for Sam, there is no waking up from this.

I loved it. Thank you!

[jantalaimon]

Aww, that's really sweet. :) I worried it was a bit TOO much of that dreamlike buildup, and since this was the challenge that it was, it would be a bit too obvious there was going to be some rug-pulling at the end. Glad it worked for you, and thanks! :D

Oh god - I had a strange ominous feeling throughout all of this and the last revelation was killer. So good!

[jantalaimon]

:D Thanks! I was going for the ominous feeling. I mean, I guess I figured maybe some people might even derive ominousness from me writing Sam/Annie in the first place. >3
