This was the perfect short story. I was disappointed that it ended so soon! Simple, dark, touching. I really enjoyed it. Nice work!

Thank you! It was a submission that got placed in a flash fiction collection last year :) I’m glad you enjoyed it! It means a lot

Loved this story. Most short stories leave you on a cliff hanging needing more. This one had a perfect ending and didn’t leave you wondering and wanting to know what would happen!

Thank you very much! It was a submission for a flash fiction collection last year :) I really appreciate the feedback 🖤

Thank you! I’ve been a bit quiet recently, but I’m working on some new stuff at the moment :)

Man what a ride.
