This was a very moving story. I found itvery descriptive, which gave the story more meaning and a lot ofemotional impact. It made me think about who your real friends are. Iespecially liked how she said she was bringing home a stranger - herself- after the rape. I think it is very sad that humans are such violentanimals, considering that we are supposed to be so highly evolved.

I hope the anonymous author who had this horrifying experienceis recovering and doing well. I also hope that the guy who assaulted hergets what's coming to him.
