All Comments on 'Keeping Guard'

Please consider telling us more of the tale of the baker and John.

Very good story, thanks for writing it.

I thoroughly enjoyed this short story. You told a tale of missed opportunities so well that it reminded me of another story told about a lone female baker who finds love during adversity. Only that character saw the truth in the matter and grabbed on for dear life.

If you want another take on a similar theme I would advise reading Dr. Jocelyn’s “My Hero” under the Romance category.

Again, thanks for an enjoyable read.

I really enjoyed the story up to the end...if she wished things were different, make them different. You're not even married to the guy which would make it a bit more complicated. What a wimp. for me, it would have been better if she had acted differently in the end.

I could just imagine the smells of this bakery and the loneliness of the early mornings that this women has in her life. Quite an achievement in such a short story.

The pathos of the scene of the young guard sitting on the curb was well done.

Thanks for this story, I really enjoyed it. Oh, I scored it a well deserved 5 stars.

*****Good read with real emotions. My store was robbed once and I can relate to the feelings. Thanks for sharing.

Please add a continuation to this story. I would love to find out what happened to the characters!

One more sentence to make it a 5!

As the tears that had been welling up inside of me began to fall, I wished for all the world that my life was different. Then I realized my future would be what I made it to be.
