He watches me when I’m sleeping; he’s kind of like Santa Claus in that way. I pretend I don’t know that he’s there, pretend I’m unaware of his face back-lit by the moon as I undress. I loved him, once, the way you love a beat up old blanket that’s been there from your first moment. It was a love that went unexpressed, a love I didn’t realize I

Okay, you made me cry, so it must be good. Well done.

[xreesex]

Thank you! I'm sorry it made you cry, but I'm glad it was able to convey what I wanted it to.

Just as I said before (and I'll repeat it again for the whole class to hear): This entry really highlights your incredible knack for detail. You take things that should be mundane (like, the way the newspaper clipping was cut) and add enough detail to it that it feels like another important and vital piece to the story. I really loved it!

Thank you, it means a lot to me for you to enjoy what I write <3

Very good ! I was wanting for them to finally get together; her yearning was so evident. But the finality of the ending makes it impossible. So so sad.

[xreesex]

I know, I was writing this, knowing they wouldn't get together, and yet wanting them to, haha. Thank you!

Beautiful, haunting piece here. And so filled with rich detail (but not overly so). One of the best I've read in a while.

Wow, thank you so much! And thank you for your message, I fixed it! I wanted to get it in under deadline, so I wasn't as careful as I should have been. Thank you!
