Title: Chapter 1: Prologue: date Unknown
When I realized that you had resumed writing "Killing Me Softly", I was ecstatic, because no story on here had affected me so deeply as this one had. I decided to read it all from the beginning and then the newly added chapters. I just spent the better part of my day reading and just finished. I am sitting here blubbering like an idiot. Crying. You are an excellent writer, has anyone told you that? You brought this story to life in a terrifying way that I can't describe. Everything that Brian experienced was described in such horrific detail, it felt like I was there, seeing it. It cut me like a knife. When you wrote in first-person, from his eyes,in his mind I felt like I WAS him . . . terrified, helpless, hopeless. The chapter when he is rescued was so full of hope, then despair, back to hope, back to despair. My heart was beating out of my chest. Nick and AJ's emotions were my emotions. The "Life" chapter . . .omg. Leighanne visiting Brian in the psychiatric ward. I cannot even tell you how much this chapter has affected me. So fraught with overwhelming feelings from both Brian and Leighanne. I was riveted, frozen just as Leigh was. Brian closed his eyes and reopened them, and she was still there! His realization of that, and her realizing he knew her, her coming closer to his outreached hand, it all was spellbinding, I could not move. I cried right along with them.
I am so grateful you have come back to writing this, and don't understand why this isn't getting more reviews. Your should win awards. You are a damn good writer. Please don't abandon this, keep writing. Hopefully, it will get the attention it deserves.
Author's Response: oh god, you can't believe how much I appreciate this review! Thank you so much; I am so glad that the story was able to stir some kind of emotion, because that is what it's for :)
