I am completely covered in goosebumps. The end line, with the static and then that chilling, final silence, did me in.
There are no words for this. Except for, maybe, amazing. Your writing keeps getting better and better, pens.

Wow. This definitely struck some emotional chords. You certainly have a knack for tapping into such raw feelings.

5 stars all the way!

Hauntingly beautiful. If I could give ten stars I would. Wow.

I thought that it was a tape about someone professing their love for someone else. Talk about a plot twist…

oh wow…oh wow

I almost cried reading this, it is so powerful. I love the line, “I miss your paint and your poems”, I don’t know why… but it made me feel so melancholy.
LoA

This is crazy good!

It jsut seems that there was so much more to this tape that we don’t know….

Definitely an awesome ficlet!!!!

And saying awesome is saying something!!!!

Congrats on being crowned champion of the challenge! I said it before and I’ll say it again. This deserves 10 or more stars!

wow… amazing

this haunting apology has stayed with me all day. Congrats!

You definitely deserved the award for this. Even as I read it for about, I don’t know, the fifth or sixth time, it makes my eyes water. Bravo.

You really do deserve it. It really gave me chills. There’s so much question left behind it. This is an extraordinary ficlet that makes you want everybody to read it.

did u get the idea from a book? because something happened almost exactly like this in a book. cant exactly remember what it was called though.

No, this idea came from a story I was going to write once. The original idea was that it would develop into a ghost story, but I never really got around to writing it, so it’d been floating around in my head for a while and I figured I could change the original idea to fit this challenge.
