Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Five Years Later
Wow... yeah... Carly is clearly not mentally sound. Five long years being held prisoner like this would just utterly break a person down to a souless shell of his or her former self. No contact with other family or friends is damaging enough, the torture on top of that... yeah, unbearable. Can't say I'm really sympathizing with her yet... maybe I will though if karma ever comes back and pays her back for doing all of this.
This story has definitely gone into extremes in some respects, which does... make it a bit iffy to me, but I'm still enjoying it. In fact, I've honestly enjoyed most of your stories on here; You're definitely one of my favorite authors~
I don't mind you being wordy either... I appreciate the vivid descriptions of everything... I'm actually pretty heavy on the words myself when I write. =p
So yeah, please keep up the great work. I'm very interested in seeing what's going to happen here. It's nothing short of amazing how Jack has even a shred of sanity left in himself after five years of this cruelty.
Author's Response: thanks for the lengthier-than-average review, i appreciate it when commentators sum up several angles on their thoughts.
carly is difficult to sympathize with, although part of it is that i have so much fun writing her, i have trouble disliking her ;)
on the extremes, all i can say is that this is rated R and tagged with violent/sadistic for a reason, but i'm glad you continue to enjoy even if it's not your favorite.
