Oooh, well done. I love Minerva's disdain for the pink stars.

Very nice.  I like the way you don't have anyone think their own name - of course they wouldn't.  I also live seeing all of the different reactions and how they give us insight into each character in a very concentrated form.

So evocative...  Thank you for sharing such a thought provoking piece.  *bows*

What a beautifully written piece. Every character exactly correct. Thanks for sharing.

I personally like scars. The first man I ever loved was in a horrible car accident and his face was scarred. I remember vividly sitting on his lap and running my finger across his scars and begging him to tell me the story about how he got them(my father). My scars are not as big as they use to be thanks to the wonders of plastic surgery, but they never go away. I still don't show much skin. Having had lots of people ask about them when I do. My scars show where I've been. You don't talk about the worst scars, the ones people don't see, the ones on the inside.

Nicely done and all valid thoughts for the characters. Good work as always.

fab insights
