All Comments on 'Hindsight'

Another great story from you. I always look forward to reading your stories.

Now that I've moved back to the small-town environment i grew up in, I think a little more about what might have been, but I'm really pretty happy with where I am and who i'm with. I certainly didn't have the shitty first life Cat had.

I think I have managed to attend 2 reunions in 40 years, looking back isn't really my thing (which is odd, since I'm a historian and archaeologist). I guess its because most of my little circle of friends left, like me, but never came back.

Humm.....

I found this to be a depressing or maybe just sad story, but that’s only because I read it from a different perspective than regular readers. I loved the ending though, it was perfect. If only we could rewrite parts of our own lives eh? Nice job Dusk. Thank you.

I enjoyed your story. I have daydreamed of very similar things, I mean who hasnt wished they could redo something in their past. Really solid structure and very fun to imagine. Also, i liked how her stakes were high, with the death of her mother and what followed to cause her present trapped existence. The language really gave me a picture of a modern woman of that age group (like me) who was a teenager in the 90s.

Wow! That was a fun read!

Wouldn't we all like to go back to our eighteen-year-old self for a do-over? Too bad that doesn't happen in real life.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story.

I think it would do better in another category, maybe SF&F. It read to me like a serious story with bits of humor mixed in. But very well done! The premise captures the imagination right away and doesn't let go. I did not see the ending coming. And may I say--Cat doing herself in front of the mirror--Yow! Good work!

What a fun romp in fantasy land. Can’t wait to read your other works! 😁

Lovely tale, bouncing from memory to re-memory, outlining small town living and our even more circumscribed notions of life from the high school mindset.

Telling descriptions, well paced, made me laugh over and over. Scrumptious.

'my eighteen year old body was definitely a virgin but this thirty eight year old mind was a slut.'

Amen.

I feel wholesome, thank you :)

Sweet tale of finally getting it right.

Great 'feel good' story, the beginning was a little grimey, but served a purpose. I too have daydreamed of a do over, your story supports both sides of the contemplation. So, I shall ponder on. Hmmm.

Well done, balancing teen drama and humor. Very enjoyable reading. My first read of you but now I will read all of your stories.

could have done without the 4th wall breaking line that insulted my literary skills

Could you write a second part of this story where she went back and got it right? I WOULD DEFINITELY READ IT!

I enjoyed your story but really enjoyed your writing. I feel so lucky whenever I chance upon on of the very few on this site with such ability.

Clever concept, well-executed. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

So true. Hindsight is a bitch. :)

That was a well told tale! It had humor, angst and heart. 10/10

at 60 i can confirm wonderful story

A very nice romantic story and the sex scenes weren't even necessary. At 80 I can trump the other guy a 60 as this being a good story. 5 stars
