Just finished chapter 10. Interesting story. I'm curious as to what happened to Melissa's father. But I like the way the story is developing with her becoming more open. Maybe new faces in the house will raise her mother's spirits and she will begin to get better. I thoroughly enjoyed it though and at no point due to lack of grammar skill or interest did I decide to stop reading. I look forward to seeing what else you have.
Cheers

Marvelous description, Siren. The aura of poverty came through clearly and with that touch of despair it should have for the reader. This is a fine work and I want to see where it goes.
Great uplifting story, to be able to enjoy yourself in any kind of situation is important and the fact is many of poorer people might be the happier. Very good write this, i like it!!Well done!!
Nice short piece and you give a rich insight into 'the life of', which makes me think this could be longer, could be a book, I enjoyed this very much, good work

In some form we all create our own reality, but eventually it smashes into the walls erected by those around us.
I enjoyed the story, there are a few grammatical problems, and sentences that are a little awkward, but overall a great job. :)

There's a great little book that helped me. It's called 'The Elements of Style" by Strunk and White. It's a very small book but very concise.
On a second read that's all I saw, but I haven't had coffee yet. :P

Meaning the electricity bill hadn't been paid. Cuz they're so poor and she's been distracted.

I kinda felt that way too. I appreciate your opinion. Thank you!
Sometime we learn to accept less and enjoy the small things. I like the thoughts and the description of the location. A powerful tale. I like the ending a lot. Thank you for the excellent story.
