I really wanted to read this at lunch and was rather annoyed that FA was down. Beautiful visuals. I feel the need to give you a "dreadfully uncomfortable and useless hug." My thoughts might not be worth much, but write down all you can remember and then when you can't remember what it was like read it, cry and be happy. I truly believe life is the way it's suppose to be. I know not everyone does, but remembering the good without hoping for something different must be healthy.

And there are ears around you that will always listen. Even if sometimes they say stupid things.

There are some things that can never be written down, never be weaved into a story. And perhaps some of them are best left forgotten and dormant in the dusty corridors of things gone by.

Sometimes, I find that it is actually a lot harder to receive compassion, rather than give it. But I guess that's one of those things one never ought to learn...

I liked this... it had some very good points. All too often we rely on the same old pat answers.

Okay, now I read this. Beautiful and touching story, I liked this. This pretty much defines Veeran and Cody, a good beginning, this is a good platform to start building. Although, as I have read the older stories to this storyline, I know to which direction the story is going to move. But still, I enjoyed reading this. Good work, I think that even this starting piece strikes a difference to the Kia/Sheelan stories, this is more slow-paced and serious and even more mature. Great short story, I am actually interested to read how the story continues.

Ja nyt, ainakin omien silmieni mukaan, olen lukenut jok'ikisen kirjallisen tuotoksen sinun galleriastasi. Ja olen vaikuttunut. Tarttis varmaan tehrä asialle jotain...

*smiles sadly* Thank you for your kind words. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this is the one story that I could not care less if people read it or like it. It served the purpose it was created for, and ironically personally I now find it rather clumsy attempt to convey grief beyond the scope of words. But nevertheless, I'm pleased that I wrote it as it gave life to two such wonderful characters.

People write for different purposes. To analyze their thoughts or ideas, to amuse themselves, professional authors write to get money, somebody might want to get a message through... I don't always like my writings, on the moment of writing the story might feel good, but after a few weeks the story seems bland. And there's always the contradiction when submitting to a public site. My most basic, cheapest and simplest stories tend to get the best feedback, then when I write something serious with a message, all I get is: Nice story. And nothing more.

You might not care less and you shouldn't worry about people reading this, the story is submitted five months ago, so it's very unlikely anyone will even come across it.

Ellei se joku ole tämmöinen jääräpäinen änkyräsuomalainen, joka lukee kaiken vanhimmasta tuoreimpaan paljoa laadusta tai tarkoituksesta välittämättä. Kokemukseni mukaan näitä FA:n jäseniä, jotka lukevat läpi koko gallerian, on todella harvassa. Itselläni on vain yksi lukija, joka on lukenut kaiken mitä olen tänne lähettänyt.

You are probably right in assuming that you'll be the last person to read this, at least for a while. And it's better that way. Sometimes, it's best to let the weeping foxes lie. *faint smile*

Right, now I'm off to college!
