heck wasn't it nice?...

nice job describing the feelings of pain, desperation, hoplessness and redemption - in the end- the victim felt...

since it's the "memories" of someone right before, while, and a short time after dying i think it would be nice to make it little bit more evident by giving off some hints in the beginning of your story..something along the lines of " i hadn't really bothered myself about thinking how it would feel to die until it actually happened.."

the references to "a room full of hatred", the "everyone hates me don't they" ,the tape recorder in the hands of the killer and the sense of guilt by him in the image of tears right before the "act", help add a little mystery to your otherwise "tragic" story of yours. it means there's some background and everyone just makes guesses as to what might have happened here, a fact that makes your story interesting ;)
though, in my opinion, especially the tape-recorder thing needs some further elaboration..why the heck would the killer hold onto a tape-recorder? xD

you have some minor linguistic errors but the overall effect is quite pleasant ^^

...and a general advice for your future writings...change the tense..i mean istead of "i took a step" --> "i take a step" makes everything much more vivid and the effect of the sensations you want to create and pass through to the reader becomes much more direct..

Thanks so much for the amazing compliments :3 this is a great honor for a 12 year old to receive such a compliment. But because I was only planning on posting the story in the blog section where I post daily, I didn't plan on explaining much. I just wanted to post and get it over with, but instead my feelings took over me. Although most of the stories I write are about happy and romantic love stories, I acctually prefer the dark sad stories... Maybe because it explains how I feel now. Because some of the boys In my class are very immature they still pick on me and it ends up making me feel like writing a happy story to cheer myself up, but I think I can explain my feelings better when the plot is more like my current situation. So i may be posting more depressing or sad stories soon. hahaha, thanks for reading :) hope u stay in tuned while u wait! And u can also read my other stories~~~ ~('w'~)
