As much as I loved it, losing a child like that will haunt both forever as good LW but very sad
Gave it 2 stars. Writing hard to follow which hurt an overall decent, if sad, story. Why some parents can't watch their young children is both beyond me & criminal. My wife & I had a pool in the house we lived in. When we weren't using it... or there, I had it locked closed (it was an above ground pool, unlike this story, I suppose). But once my young children were in the pool, one of us was there watching. There's no excuse not to. Bob
What a sad tale of horrid regret . Brought out emotions in me , tears will earn you 5 stars . Well written and powerfully delivered and that's really why the 5 stars .
This is not what I come to lit to read. But read it I did, and appreciate it.
Well done.
Rather well done, good prose style, atmospheric - and I saw it all. Judicious understatement really played well, 5*
That was quite a grisly story.
This was the penultimate short story that needs no sequel.
The horrible facts hidden behind the story needs no expansion or detailed conclusion.
Rest in peace.
Brilliant story, JimBob44.
Thank you.
Eek. Really dark. Unbelievable gullt. No way to.get past that for either one. Amazingly writing.
Wow. Just fucking wow. This was a hard read, but it shows once again the quality you put out. Life is brutal sometimes, and you write it wonderfully. A sad, but well deserved 5/5.
An awesome story, but I ask if you have a pool, the child should have been trained in water safety, have been taught how to swim from infancy. If parents have a pool they swim, ie… they teach their children how to survive if they fall into the water. Unless it’s only used as a status symbol to impress their neighbors, they should still know how to swim just in case somebody else falls into the pool.
