This is so dramatic. And very sad. You took a powerful twist and did a great job making it real. My only suggestions would be to clean up the grammar and punctuation a bit, and add even more detail. Ficlets doesn’t give you a lot of room to work with, but you should take the space allotted and milk it for all it’s worth! This story could be legendary with some added descriptions, tension, and good old-fashioned tugging at the heartstrings. A little melodrama never hurt. ;-) Thanks for entering my challenge!
