Okay, I admit, this story intriques me. :)
okay.... reading first paragraphs and drinking water. Reach that Pam dies... stops drinking suddenly, mouth falls open, makes a mess.
Wow.
Poor Jim, that is so rough. :(
Haha, the idea of Angela trying to move Jim... very funny picture.
Yeah, so already this story is breaking my heart..... and there are 4 more chapters to go.

Larry, you know how much I loved/enjoyed this story. It's an excellent piece of writing. You truly got everyone's voice down and you kept it real. Heh... silly rabbit hole thinking of mine made me think you went a little darker in the last chapter. Oops! :)

Oh my god. I just started reading this today, and it's just astonishing - so well written and compelling. I knew a bit about the premise, but still, my stomach actually dropped when I read what had happened to Pam.
And Jim - wow, such a painful portrait you're painting of him, but I suspect it's really true to life for someone going through what he is. I love the way you've written Angela, too -- still very much her, but we get to see a warmth in her that's really endearing.
Amazing work....
Author's Response:
Wow! Thank you so much for the thoughtful review. That means so much to me, especially with this story, which I've worked harder on than any other.
I really wanted to make sure I didn't make Angela some random nice person. I wanted her to be the Angela we all know, but show how she might react to such a situation. It's nice to hear that worked for you.

God, poor Jim. That was so harsh, but it gives Angela an interesting opportunity to help someone. I like the way you've written her. It seems very authentic. Nice job!
Author's Response: Thank you very much. It means alot to hear I wrote her accurately. Thanks for the comment!

I know it can't be easy to write a story that kills off a major character and than pairs together two very unlikely people, but I think you've done an amazing job thus far. I'm really enjoying it and I can't wait to see how this plays out.
Author's Response: Wow! Thank you very much. This was a very difficult story to write, so it's very rewarding to read comments like yours. I really appreciate it.

Hey. This is really neat. A really cool angle. Keep it up! I'll be reading it.
Author's Response: Glad you liked it. Thanks for the comment!

No! Not my Pammy!! Oh I'm so depressed now...but I'm really interested to see this Angela/Jim dynamic play out.
looking forward to more! :)
Author's Response: Sorry I made you depressed! Just be glad this would never happen on the show. Thanks for the comment!

I do like it.
You missed one perfect opportunity though. The hardest thing for Jim to hear? "Dunder Mifflin, this is Valerie." Thud. (And day after day...torture!) Maybe you thought that it was better to let us infer that.
I really like how Angela is helping Jim, but sort of reluctantly. Also, your Angela voice is verrry good. Hmm...channeling Angela. What does that say about you?
I look forward to seeing where you go next.
Author's Response:
Oh, that would have been good to include!
It's odd. There's just something about Angela that I find really interesting and that inspired the story. Hope that doesn't make me scary!

I loved this! So much so.
I don't really have much more to add except I just wanted to give you a 10 rating! I just loved it! Having written something closely similar, except I killed Jim, I am glad to see you'll be continuing this.
Author's Response: Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked it. I was really nervous posting something like this, so I'm glad people seem to really like it.

I'm not sure how I feel about this one so far. This chapter went by so fast and I think I see where this is going but no matter which way it goes, there are so many hurdles to overcome. However, I have faith that you'll do an admirable job.
Author's Response: Thanks! I hope I can meet your expectations.

that was such a punch in the grief bone, but in the best possible way. Great job and I love that Angela is that great of a friend to Jim despite outward appearances. Lovely job!
Author's Response: Thank you very much!
