What needs to be done will be done....... It was a wonderful love story.
Boy, I'd hate to have the wrong first name when this guy came around! That was the only evidence he had, and it justified killing the guy?<br><p>
Story needed a bit more substance. The love story part was find, but a more expanded search for the killer would have made it more plausible.
A good story which reminded me of the famous “Guys and dolls", the crime stories with the human heart at the center of the plot. Thanks.
Like to think I would have handled it the same way. Thanks for sharing.
The style was hard for me to follow , but it kept me reading and I too shed a tear at the ending.
Well, you got me! Especially with not wanting to wash the sheets 'n oll. After more than a year since my man's death, I still sleep on the floor next to the bed. You have one of the craziest styles I've come across - your realism is accurate, but completely abstract, you jump time-frames with such ease that the reader always falls in exactly on deck, but not always clear on why or how. The way you did the sketch on grief was very clear and very human. Especially in the commercial world, writers can get very tacky on the subject to scratch up a cheap emotion or two, but you kept it very clean. Thanks for lovely story.
This story was way too disjointed. Made it hard to follow. I think it could have been a really good story if the author had adhered to a timeline a little closer, or made the time-jumps a little more coherent and easier to follow. Just my 2 cents worth. I’m not a writer, just don’t have the gift. But I’m a pretty fair judge of writing, both good and bad. Of course, that’s just my opinion too.
Another well written, and haunting story. Life is more like this then we can admit. More visceral. It would be better if more could write this way. Keep up the good work. Write for Marla.
Now that's taken care of business. Liked the story but kind of sad it ended the way it did for Marla.
