Frosty, thanks for the review. I do try to keep the emotions real, but you're right. In this case, it makes the hurt deeper. Hope the next chapter is a happy one. Thanks
Don’t you know that the pain of his wounds was nothing compared to the hurt you caused when you kicked him out of your life?
Like a broken record, Grandpa’s words repeated themselves inside my head. What have I done? I meant to protect him from further harm, that’s all.
The doubts I kept at bay surrounded and threatened to drown me. If I did the right thing by pushing him away, why does the knowledge that Mich is hurting makes me feel like I’m the biggest jerk in the world? Unbid
People chattering about everything
And nothing in particular
A cacophony of voices wanting attention
Yours and mine lost in the hubbub
A rigmarole unfolding before my eyes
Is this where I belong?
A heart searching for someone special
And another who yearns for the same
We started out as strangers who had nothing in common
Except for a shared dream of a life filled with love
Two hearts separated by miles upon miles of distance
Fate stepped
Happy birthday Anyway, I enjoyed reading this one a lot. At first, it was serious and a bit sad, but a smile crossed my face toward the end. Write more
Hey, so cool! Thanks for reading. And I'm glad you like what I've written (you did like it, right?). This was the first rather long story I've written so this was really special to me
Hey Frosty, well you were there for me when I needed an editor and I wanna thank you for that. I can't speak for all the people you edit for so I'll just speak for myself. You don't need to apologize for taking care of your family, most especially yourself! I do hope you get well soon. And if there's anything I can do for you, anything at all, please don't hesitate to holler
Hey John, I didn't avail the services of a beta-reader and editor for this story, sorry. This was meant to be a short story anyway so I didn't see the point. But thinking about it, maybe I should have hehe. Anyway, it was done and I'm not ashamed of what I've done. Hope you enjoy the rest.
Hey Frosty, I really enjoyed reading this one. I agree with Nephy that although this was personal, it is also universal in a way. There were lines in your poem I could really relate to. So thanks for sharing
Hey Frosty! Well this was supposed to be only three chapters, but with the current pace, I think it would be four chapters at least. Anyway, thanks for reading and writing a review
I don’t like you. The words rang in my ears and reverberated inside my head. A small ache in my heart threatened to worsen. So this is how it feels? I used the words a lot of times to a great deal of people without any regard to their feelings. Is this karma? If I knew then how much they hurt, would I had said them?
I turned around and faced him, pretending that the indifference on his face had no effect on me. “Understood. There’s nothing I can do about it though so... I think it’d bett
You were a friend among many
Kind, honest and supportive
Your words held a friendly note
But I shrugged it off as nothing
I was a naive storyteller
Who pretended I was a writer
My words were a bit awkward
But you liked them anyway
Words bloomed into feelings
Then turned into something more
Yours were known to you
Mine were in my subconscious
On an ordinary day like others
Something extraordinary happened
You reached out in a friendly gestu
I'm sorry, but I agree with Sam that I was a little confused as well. But probably it's because this is the start and I've no idea what your 'world' is like. Thanks for sharing.
