The Bits They Leave Behind

This was a beautifully written piece; the language in the first few paragraphs especially was highly gripping and intense whilst not being convoluted in its beauty. I liked the subtlety of the letter, especially in the first sub-tale, and how it was revealed but not specifically identified; successfully done, and that isn't always an easy task. There was only a few sentences that I found a bit over-done, like the angels and demons in the fire; your writing is beautiful and subtle enough not to have to employ cliches. I hope you get far in the competition.
