Really outstanding. Did not see that coming!
Well, you caught me with that one! It truly was an outstanding story; thank you.
how I missed this one! Even suspecting what was coming I was surprised! Great story, De_vere! Wonderful build up to climax, nice ending!
THIS is a good story!
The characters are beautiful, in a way that is beyond their beauty. Your descriptions are intense. The twists worth re-reading.
I have yet to read every single one of your stories (and some, because of my narrow interest I may pass by), but I’d have to say this is easily the best one. A well crafted story and three-dimensional characters, and even though I suspected what might be coming, when the truth was finally revealed, it was still surprising.
One of the things I learned in Arthur Ballet’s “Introduction to Theater” class over fifty years ago was that with each subsequent reading of a good play, you learn something new, and get still more out of it. I suspect the same will be true with this story.
I eagerly look forward to finding out.
An outstanding story!! I definitely would like to see the story not end here. Too many 'what's next' questions that need to be answered!
The master twister what a finale I never saw that coming. Very good story . Very clever. Worthy of a part in a film.
Category 18 of course.
I want to say this was predictable, I even want to scream at the utter impossibility of this; how it challenges suspension of disbelief: but I can’t.
It was well presented and with a plausible enough storyline that makes it all seem… realistic.
The open ending drives the imagination and strikes at the heart of the moral conundrum.
