Pretty dark, indeed. I had a little trouble following, but I expect you want this to be somewhat opaque. Is this a runaway who was maybe homeless for a year?

Your writing is pretty sharp, and you have your own distinct voice. I would suggest you look at your use of ellipses. Sometimes writers throw in ellipses to try to be dramatic, and it doesn't always relay to the reader that way. If you like them, keep them, but my suggestion is to give them a second look.

I can tell you put a lot into this. Thanks for sharing.

    Not homeless. Just wandered in the night.

Your story really drew me in. I felt the struggle in your writing. The way you described the world - the constant darkness, and the sense of being unseen - felt so heavy. The shift when you came across that Bible verse was powerful. I loved how you used it to highlight a moment of change. It was raw and emotional. And I couldn't help but feel moved by it. Your writing is strong! Keep going!

I remained interested throughout your tale, hoping against hope for a happy ending. The song's repeated use tied the story together. The resolution was heartfelt and spiritual. A unique way to address the prompt. Good luck in the contest. gayla
