I really like the story. Really good description and a nice tension about what will happen.
So glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks Susan!
I was transported and moved by the web of dilemmas the characters faced. A truthful rendition of the push and pull of holding on, discerning our authentic self, and letting go.
Aaahh. Glad the story had meaning for you. Thank you Bailey.
Very good writing. I’m proud of your accomplishments. Does this short story have a part 2? I want to read more.
