I lover the story.It shows how love can go wrong. I don't think the man ever knew love. He just fed off of other peoples emotions. Great work.

Thank you for your kind words, I had hoped the fact that he was emotionless would show through.

Comment from Crystal Carey
Great job, especially for a first story. It is quite the read, I really like how she tried to put the bad things off. I hope she finds an escape from her personal prison!

Thank you so much for your kind appraisal.
Comment from Craigitar
Well written! Very descriptive with good imagery. Several great lines: "We were scrubbed to within an inch of our lives." and: "Gently gliding over my fragile self-esteem..." Good solid writing. I especially liked that you used the first sentence again to tie up the story. Nice twist--I thought I was reading a murder/prison story right up until the end. Great job. Good luck with the contest.

Okay, actually this was a very good story with some seriously excellent imagery and the ability to suck readers in. It caused me to go back to another time...the only problem was that it was full of conventions errors, which I would go back and fix up quickly.
smell of mould ==spelling? British?? mold?
wanted to get on my knees and pray, ==think I would make that a period.
family were marched ==was marched
Scrubbed to within and inch of our lives==sentence fragment
the internet, ==sounds like a sentence
He sucked you in, made you believe in him==do you mean he sucked YOU==meaning sucked me in?
self-esteem and, ==incorrectly placed comma
In no time at all==introductory phrase needs a comma
For a few wonderful months, (insert comma)
Lambasted for past reltaionships.==sentence fragment and relationships...(sp)
In my warped mind, (insert comma)

Thank you so much for your critique I will go back and sort it. I am VERY rusty with my grammar and need all the help I can get. Mould is indeed the British spelling.
Comment from Phyllis Stewart
Good warning ... private stuff must remain private. You never can really know another person in a year or less... often a decade. So caution is needed above all. Scary ending, for sure! Glad this is all fiction!
