    I had so much fun with this one that I definitely will!

    Sometimes, not knowing something for sure is way sweeter than getting an answer, and I guess this story will have to be the former.
  3. albertnothlit
    lol! - Don't worry, there's no plans to continue adding anything at this time.
  4. albertnothlit
    Creepy was exactly what I was going for!

    I'm sorry to hear you could relate so personally to this story, but thank you very much for reviewing!
  6. albertnothlit
    Thank you! It was an entirely different experience to write a story by starting from a prompt, and it's amazing how something so small can lead your mind and unexpected directions

    Please, go to Sleep 1 "Hey, Mike. What's the matter?" I rubbed my face with both my hands, trying to get rid of some of exhaustion, but I couldn't stop them from shaking. Felix noticed. "Mike?" he asked me, his tone going from annoyed to concerned. "Is everything okay?" "Yes. Yeah, I mean… Can I come in for a bit?" My question ended up sounding whiny, but I couldn't help it. Felix nodded, stepping away from his door, letting me into his flat. I walked past him, straight into the

    My response for prompt number 444: Would you, please, go to sleep? I tried to do something different for this one, and it's my first time responding to a prompt! It was great fun!

    Thank you very much for your review, and for every other review. While I can't exactly say I'm glad I triggered such a strong emotion in you, I was feeling certain things very intensely when I wrote that scene, and the fact that I was able to transmit them to another is humbling.

    Thank you very much! For me, feedback from readers is what makes the entire journey worth it.

    Thanks! Josh was definitely not the only thing that drove Nathan to the breaking point, but sadly, survivor's guilt will not let Josh see things clearly. I'm glad the sorry didn't turn out to be a downer. Nevertheless, I think I will focus on less difficult topics for the foreseeable future.
  12. albertnothlit
    that is, sadly, very true. Suicide is very often unexpected, but no less devastating because of it.
  13. albertnothlit
    wow... thank you. I'm humbled that you have found this story lived up to its potential. The subject matter was very difficult, but I'm glad it came out as I intended.

    Thank you so much for reviewing!

    thank you. When I was a teenager I also did a couple of things I'm not proud of, just because I decided to give in to peer pressure. I guess I put a little bit of that into this chapter.
  16. albertnothlit
    thank you for reviewing, even if I do realize that this story is a bit of a downer
  17. albertnothlit
    Unfortunately, reason and guilt don't often go hand-in-hand
  18. albertnothlit
    Yeah. Living by trying to be just like everybody else may appear safe, but sometimes it's the road to disappointment.

    Chapter 9 The sun is setting across the ocean. It feels like I am a thousand miles away from anywhere, standing here, at the edge of the deadly cliffs. There is no more wind anymore; everything around me is quiet except for the low murmur of the waves far below, among the sharp rocks that jut out from the water. I look at the ocean for a while, following the motion of the foam and the surf that fades into a solid gray-blue color further out and away from the coast. With the sun going d

    Thank you kindly! I'm glad I was able to capture the teenage psyche, or at least a tiny fraction of it.
  21. albertnothlit
    wow. you've read my mind - or rather, each of the character's minds. I have, sadly, seen people react just like Josh's mother in similar circumstances. The unwillingness to even discuss the person who has passed away is both heartbreaking and infuriating.
  22. albertnothlit
    sometimes, even people who are clueless about how to interact with people make a conscious decision to try and do something about it. Unfortunately, the results aren't always positive
  23. albertnothlit
    two more chapters to go
  24. albertnothlit
    very perceptive! Kate does understand a lot more than even Josh himself concerning his relationship with Nathan
  25. albertnothlit
    perhaps not even Josh is sure what he feels, or doesn't feel...
