Fate's Cruel if Life's Great

There's not a thing about this that doesn't make me wanna jump for joy and dance around the room. Your writing abilities have got me on lock, and there is not a thing that you can do or write to make me dislike your writing. Maybe your headache is affecting your ability to think because this is an absolutely, terrifically, wonderfully great chapter, and someone that thinks otherwise is out of their mind. Just kidding about the headache thing, but I hope you get better. Headaches are the worst. I used to suffer from terrible migraines, so I feel your pain. I don't really get them now though, which I am
thankful for. Anyway, this chapter, as stated before, is great. I like how you show that Frank really cares about Mikey, even if he's never met him before, with that part about Frank carrying. You said in the second chapter "He barely has time to look away from his prey before I am pinning him to the alley wall with a strength I never knew I possessed." It
goes to show that one only needs strength when their fighting for something important to them. Luckily in Frank's case he had enough strength left over so he could carry Mikey in the third chapter. I've been wanting to say this for a while, but I just didn't. I really like your metaphors and similes. I don't go searching for these in every story I read, but I couldn't help but notice that yours are so strong and vivid. I also really like that ending. It was such a clever way to end it and it was cleverly written. Well written, well done, and I hope you get well.

Thank you very much! I think I've managed to sleep off the headache for now. I'm very glad that you like it, I really wasn't a huge fan of that chapter, but I'm very pleased that you liked it! I've tried to write Frank as kind of like a good-Samaritan style character; always willing to help those who need it, the sort of person to trust until the trust has been misused kinda thing. Thank you very much for reviewing, it always make me smile! :)
