Beautiful... I never get bored reading your peices you know that nec? I do agree that I wish you had left the meaning at least until the end, so that we could have created our own meanings but I'm sure you knew that the images you created were no where near a father and daughter abuse situation... and the hamster, I still don't get. But my mind is no where near as deep or complex as yours is... The story telling aspect of this was beautiful! You let us see things, created emotions inside that you could not have just telling me what was happening... mentally I felt like this girl progressed from an innocent child to a teenager, to mid20's and then I felt her older and somewhat like that woman that is constantly beaten but goes back anyways.... I dunno it was well constructed... written, creativly, emotionally... WOW!
