A simple straightforward and well-written story placed well in both time and place. Good character development in just a few pages with excellent backstories. Thanks for your time and effort. Well done. Looking forward to more of your work.
This is the author speaking. I received feedback saying the story seemed artificial after she wouldn't press charges against her rapists. I'm sorry but I don't agree. Many people in this position refuse to press charges because they don't want the publicity - they already feel like curling into a fetal position and dying and knowing that more people were talking about it would make things worse. It isn't artificial - it's real life as lived by a great many.
