A wonderful little story.
Very moving story. I could feel her desperation.
Immediately I am drawn to the characters and want to know more. Intriguing little story.

Definitely left me wanting more. A great piece of writing!
A tight, poignant little gem. And absolutely believable. Superb!
Thanks Bob!
