Wow! This was beautiful! You are so talented, I can't tell you that often enough :) I for one think that the long sentences with the many enumerations serve to bring the hectic of this story out very well...It also shows that it is really the beginning of the end. I can see the two of them there and I think I know why Minerva was the one who left. In the end she sticks to her principles. Great job! I loved the piano as a symbol :)- oh and congratulations on your keyboard! Good night, talk to you soon!

Hey there! You probably can guess that I loved it, but this time I have a surprise - a bit of constructive criticism! Yay! Or boo.

Either way, I think that when you work the character into a rage, you tend to use a lot of run-ons and intentionally abusing the structure of a sentence. I know that this is a device to show that the character is becoming internally agitated, but I would like it do much more if you could do the same thing while maintaining your style, because that's what makes me enjoy your writing :)

Additionally, I really wish you hadn't skipped past whatever argument they had. Everything was building up to it, and then you just basically said "and they had a fight, the end."

But I LOVE the metaphorical use of the piano :D
