"Makes my skin crawl. Was this the only purpose of your writing (?) then it was a nice try. Keep polishing your work. erika" -- H. E Gurlitt, Mt. Vernon, WA.
"At seventeen, you have a lot of time to improve your writing style, which is not too bad. I'm a little puzzled at your preoccupation with death. Read "the Sweater" and "It's a wonderful Life." Both somewhat morbid. Your poem about dying at peace had more class and substance. - mixed emotions." -- Dick K., Ohio.
"I think that this story is just a little morbid. I think that your writing is good, and I think you have the perspective of a serial killer down. " -- Thomas .
