I am not someone who likes to read many sad fics, because I tend to get too attached to the characters and I am unable to bear the tragedy that occurs.
However, I read this fic for two reasons:
1. Due to the horrifying incident that occurred in Delhi, which has finally reveals that this country is beyond redemption.
2. You are a good writer, and I wanted to see how you would take the incident and how it would affect your writing.
This OS was wonderfully written, with enough emotion to get any reader choked up while reading. You did a wonderful job Rae.
For a reader who doesn't normally read dark/sad things, I gave this a go, and I was not disappointed.
You showed the child to be killed in an accident - however the theme that remains common amongst all children who are victims of abuse, accidents, trauma, etc - their childhood is stolen from them. It scars them, and it has an effect on their close-ones.
I am glad you dedicated it to the children who, unfortunately, had their childhood ripped away from them. Nothing can ever excuse that, ever.
To take away the innocence of a child is the worst thing anyone can do. Ever.
I am disgusted with what has happened, and I feel helpless because I don't see things changing anytime soon.
I just hope that there are people who are still willing to fight back, and you are a writer, and you have decided to contribute in your own way - by writing.
Thank you for this OS,
