That was very good. As a writer myself, I know conversation chapters are difficult to write, although for me it's completely different, seeing as how my conversation chapters are usually conversations about things like
"Oh, by the way, did I mention you're the born hero destined to save the world?". But anyway, my point being I always think I've done a bad job of writing them, but when other people read them, they like them - and in the same way, I disagree with you when you say you suck at writing conversations. I think you're better than you think you are.
The whole piece was good. It was very emotional, fairly well written except for grammar (

), and you've really brought the point across well. The end, in particular, I think is brilliant. The description of the river, and how easy it would be to end everything, really got me thinking, which, I imagine, is the idea. As I read that, I was imagining just what it would be like. It's actually quite shocking how *searching for right word*
empathetic *?* that part of the text is.
Keep up the good work!
