This short semi autobiographic story featured in the In To Deep Anthology 2024.

This is a very short tale where we find the author drawing on true life experiences.

I'd suggest having tissues available, as this story whilst only 1000 words really packs a punch.

We discover what it's like to lose a parent, which will have many of us thinking about what the future may hold.

A really emotional story, that is beautifully written.

This is a very strong piece of writing that hit me like a hammerblow. @Aditus takes us to a tough moment where life prepares to give way to death. It was a challenge to read but so worth it.

This is a very good story by Aditus.  It's clear that this is a personal piece, since the emotions come through quite strongly.  Definitely have tissues ready.

Sometimes the power of a story are in the words unsaid, leaving the reader to fill in the blanks. A simply powerful story in a brilliantly compacted form.
