I really like the imagery.

I like the sense of impending doom. What? Oh, that’s just me. Oops.

Some really good descriptions here…

I like this….the build up is really nice and not too over dramatised…i like it how she is nice and understanding to him and it seems believable

Really good. you captured the teenage guy look perfectly. I chose as one fear- fear of leaving home.

You being a psychologist, I figured that you would pretty much rule this contest. I do like the story, and no, I haven’t heard of that phobia, contrary to some others. Very nice emotions and descriptions.

Nice descriptions. So vivid that I could see everything taking place.

Sadly, and despite all my training as a psychiatrist I think I’m still getting rocked on this challenge by several other applicants. Always appreciate the positive comments all the same.

on the contrary, thx, as i have said before, (namely in the ficlet devoted to your greatness “All Hail THX 0477 ”) you rock! haha!

this is not the comment i had planned on writing but obviously it IS a real phobia! ("doofus! moron! foolish nonpsychiatrist earth child!" that's atleast what the voices tell me)
