Kevin, the emotions in this! I want to cry!

”…she, at least, had finally realized that in all senses but the legal, they were no longer husband and wife.”

I liked that line because of the honesty therein. Marriage is supposed to b so much more than just a legal bonding between husband and wife. In other words, the important moments meant nothing… Brilliant, Kevin. I love the emotion in this! 5 Yoda thumbs up. Not that it matters…. :)

Thank you! Some friends of mine just announced that they’re getting divorced and I’ve been really bothered by it… I figured a ficlet might help me work through it a little.

This makes me want to be a better writer. It’s one of the best pieces I’ve ever seen on this site. You seem to have an ear for dialog that most authors never achieve. Excellent.

The raw, realistic nature of this story just leaves me breathless.

Amazing! You captured that perfectly. Almost like a snap shot, a freeze-frame of just one of life’s messy moments, caught in one tidy description. Wow. Just, WOW .

Great work, I especially the last line. Sometimes you need more than love the make a relationship work.

Liked the story, but you lose one star cause I don’t get the connection between the subject and the photo…

My fault I guess, but there ya go.

Ged, I was looking for photos tagged “leaving”, and this one caught my eye. There’s no literal association (I don’t think they were on a mountain road for the conversation), but I think the photo works: bleak, cold, and there are clouds on the horizon.

excellent

Have you been spying on me! LOL Great story! I’m living it. Keep going. Maybe I can figure out what comes next for me.

Cyoung, oh no! No, I definitely haven’t… well, unless you’re my next door neighbor (just kidding).

Kevin, Yeah after thinking on it I kinda saw the storm clouds, so I added the prequel. You get your star back (if it lets me do that….)

Amazing capture of a moment.
