Thank you for your review.
Comment from Mia Twysted
If you could make the font bigger, it would help the reader's eyes. The eye tends to get lost, and having to refind your spot takes away from the story.
That said, this was a beautiful and inspiring piece of fiction. I felt deeply for him, and as his weight lifted, so did mine. You gave the reader freedom and hope.

Comment from Julie Helms
You use vivid descriptions for the demonic forces controlling this character's mind. The way they act on his mind and body is very believable. The rescue at the end by the pastor is a beautiful show of true faith.
One typo:
tall, dark man who had stepped **form**the shadows in the corner of the church
(from)
Also, do not use quotes on every sentence. Just once at the beginning of a person speaking and once at the end, regardless of how many sentences.
"I want to join you and mom and Mikey." "I just wanna go home."
Should be:
"I want to join you and mom and Mikey. I just wanna go home."
An excellent, gripping story to the end.

You put a reader very close to this story. Your relationship with the demons unfolds over several paragraphs. More compelling, your poetic prose are lyrical. Excellent.

Comment from Michael Ludwinder
This was very well written. I think you nailed the contest theme. Because this went into the depths of the human psyche. You share themes of darkness and despair so well. I love the use of inner dialogue. You skillfully share the weight of the struggles with intrusive thoughts and mental turmoil. I found this grabbed my attention from the start. You show us inner demons so well. Great job!
