This was a very thought provoking piece. I felt as if I were there. The cold darkness of Maria's cell, the tortured betrayal of the women who named her. Her quiet strength and resolve not to name other victims for the violence of ignorant men. Her life returned to her after her torment irreparably changed. Bravo!
That was a great read. Really well written, you feel immersed only a short way in and it holds your attention all the way through.
Thank you, Gary. That means a lot. I’m really glad it pulled you in early and held you through to the end.
I enjoyed this, well done!
Thank you, Brad. I’m really glad you enjoyed it.
Masterful, evocative telling.
Thank you, I really appreciate your feedback.
Really enjoyed the imagery. It was quiet yet profound. I felt like I was sitting in the cell with Maria and experiencing what she did. Well done!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate this. I wanted the cell to feel close and quiet, so it means a lot that you felt there with her.
Oh, the humanity. Your telling of these stories really brings them to life! You place the reader squarely into the scenes. Very well done.
I really appreciate that, Alicia. That’s exactly what I hoped for - not just the record, but the people inside it.

Thank you so much. I’m really touched by this, especially that you felt her return as changed, but not erased.
Not exactly what I was expecting to read today. Love the atmosphere you created.
Thank you that means a lot. I really wanted the atmosphere to do most of the work.
