her death is more of a metaphor.

i thought it was great but what killed her?

I liked it a lot; however, the first sentence I think is a run-on. I'm not really sure what it means either. Can you talk a little bit more clearly? Maybe about different kinds of pests and their characeristics, and then the school pests.

WOW, how dark, harsh, and lovely! You've really got something fantastic going there!

A few little grammar comments, but otherwise I think it's marvelous :D

It’s hard to say how any school could have a pest problem, the pest whores, sluts, and their pimps. It’s hard but says that doesn’t make it less true, Dominic’s school has the five alarm infestation of that pest.

These two sentences are run-ons. The second one is confusing every time I read it...see if you can clear that up a bit.

It drips off their faces after a day's hard work of skipping and smoking pot. Their lungs are filled with stupidity and fluid. And yet Dominic, his friends and certain outsiders manage to survive the new breed of hypocrisy

My favorite lines :)

Engulfed in what a good happy life would be like.

This isn't a complete thought, so you either need to find a way to connect it with the previous sentence, or add something to make it coherent.

Dominic turned around. Lana stood there holding a pack of cigarettes and twiddled it in her fingers

I fixed this up a little bit, but I still think you should correct the "it in her" part...doesn't really flow well.

Like I said, truly marvelous and poetic. One of my favorite things I've seen on this site so far.

Hmmm... so much to say.

First, I LOVE the opening. It is grasping and almost a societal commentary on what we are turning into. It's BEAUTIFUL.

Second, "depressing blues and suicide greens" ... amazing. I thought that was extremely poetic and it really grips at the darker side of you.

Third, blooning romance with a dead girl, quite interesting? lol.

Fourth, some of the grammer needs to be fixed, but I still think it's beautiful.

Examples:

It's hard to say how any school could have [a?] pest problem, the pest whores, sluts, and their pimps.

It drips off their faces after a day['s?] hard work of skipping and smoking pot

The walls are crawling with VD and gonorrhea

I love this sentence, but I have no clue what VD is (I assume it's a STD, lol). Not a grammer error, just a question.

Fifth, I think you should make a title, even if it is temporary. People like titles and are more inclined to read something if it has a title! :-P

Overall, I like it a lot, just need to edit the writing a bit. I'd love to read more, so do me a favor and write some more!! ;) ^_^
