Your literary skill is impressive, to say the least. In a few short words you’ve portrayed what seems like a dry siege of the spirit. Hemmed in by her past, by the world, by the watching walls without a kindred spirit except a tiny bird that brings some vague but precious impression of the world beyond.

Well done.

I love this. It has a tone that appeals to me, and you handle that tone so well. I love the images that shift and repeat. In addition it made me think of Nirvana’s ‘Polly’.

Silence can be so unconvincing, but you butter the silence and with popcorn we can eat the fruit of your wordage.

Could anyone be more real than Vow is, at this very moment? I feel like she’s perfect, or at least perfectly embodied.

I knew a woman called Vow when i was little. This sounds uncannily like her…

What can I say? In a single page you give the reader hope, desperation, sweetness, sadness — and visions, and violent reality. I want to be Vow, and I want to be the bird; and in a way I want to be *you*. That means: this short story is perfect.
