    Ew, I actually felt physically sick reading this, nobody should have to go through that. It was beautifully written, and has an amzing story line. I absolutely adore the dirty pretty!! Goodluck and thanks so much for entering my contest.

    haha lol; well this was actually in my other contest and i must of overlooked the beauty in the writing. I think the first time i was distracted by the overuse of symbols. I know it's dirty pretty, but it just seems a little over dosed. But thanks for entering again, it was worth it due to the fact you're on the finalists list this time=]

    I like it. You have an interesting style and I like the way you use DP to *illustrate* your emotions all over the page. well penned, this is descriptive and really draws the reader in. It's disturbing in the best sort of way. Keep it up &hearts
