Highly creative and imaginative. I liked the narrative technique and the way voices of characters are intermixed.

I was really moved by the end of the text. I have done a translation of it into French, if the author or anyone else is interested in having it, they can contact me at beny450@yahoo.fr

She said heart. I listen life.
She drank tears.I cried blood.
What a savage world. What a lethal time. Again I read this line. I knew what you meant.

I haven't been moved like this by a story in a very long time. I could just read it again and again and again. And I will!

Congratulations, Jessica!

I like to read new voices, writers that are not being forced to write a story. Profesional writers are writung -sometime- too much, they should pause, do something else, recharge the batteries to see if they can write again with this fresh english, direct, to the point. CONGRATULATIONS!

I also discussed the meticulous use of first and second person, for the benefit of every writer who's ever wondered, "How is it done right?"

This is how it's done Right.

But that doesn't detract from a wonderful progression carried by a unique style of prose.

What a haunting combination of telling detail and simple understatement. I'll be linking to it from my post on 6/26/09 as an example of exquisite exposition.

The story of so many lives, but unique to this one. Everything changes when the things we take for granted are no longer there. Excellent
