A great read. Had my first laughs in a couple of days, so thanks for that. Keep up the great writing.

It refers to the German player Jurgen Klinsmann who was known for diving during tackles

They all went to the School of Klinsmann

I dread to think why you were even Googling something like this

Thanks for reading and reviewing Mark. Glad you enjoyed it. Trying to keep it believable was a struggle at times.

Thanks for reading and reviewing Bill. A very bleak prospect indeed, though I wouldn't want to face either future.

Thanks for reading Dolores. Glad you enjoyed it.

I would have just video'ed him and sent it off to a funniest home movies TV show

I want to thank you for reviewing my story here, you are far too kind. There were so many great entries, and picking a top three would be hard enough, but finding mine in your top three is amazing

Another brilliant chapter Tom. I've run out of likes cuz of the anthology go live - will be back tomorrow for the clicking of the like button

A lovely story KC. What amounted to one tiny thing in the past leads to such a huge change in the present. I think all of us have one thing in our past that we'd give anything to change.

Thanks for reading and leaving such a great review. Thirteen years in the National Health Services and counting, so I've got a wide range of knowledge in various fields of medicine, but currently working in cancer. I've got two full length stories I'm already working on, so it will be a while before I could expand on this story. I do have ideas, so watch this space.

Thanks for your kind words RJ. I really enjoyed writing it, and am glad you enjoyed it. I'll send the script off to Spielberg, so we'll see As I said previously I'd love to expand it, and I might if I have the time. Thanks for reading.

Thanks for reading and reviewing. It does sound a very bleak future, hopefully one that will remain fictional.

Thanks for reading Yettie. I'm glad you liked it. Although I wanted to write a sci-fi piece, I purposely used something we already have.

Thanks so much for reading KC. I have a very dark and twisted mind, just ask Wayne what I do to the prompts but it's nice to surprise a new reader. I started writing this and just thought "I wonder how bad 'bad' can get", and then made it even worse. I'd love to expand this story and I have a few ideas, so who knows.

Thanks for the review Frosty. A scary picture, but hopefully one we will never see happen.

A great piece. Those who know me, know I shy away from poetry, but I really enjoyed this.

A really great piece Lugh. So full of emotion for such a short piece.

A lovely tale MJ. Nice to see Mum assisting in removing Dad's head from where it was . It's never easy telling the parents, no matter how accepting they seem. Really well done.

A truly horrible prospect. But really well written and I enjoyed reading it.

Another enjoyable chapter. I left it a bit before reading and posting a review because the editing was still too fresh in my mind. The story remains well written with a great flow. Even when doing the edits I knew people would love the Bugs Bunny reference. I know the story is about J&K, but I love Matthew and Nicolas. Looking forward to what you do with the next chapter. Keep up the great writing.

Have fun W_L Hopefully you can access the antho stories

Just back from a two day cancer conference in Manchester - woo hoo!! Lots of the usual learning stuff - what we are doing to treat children's cancers, what the future holds, survival statistics, what we are doing better on etc etc etc. More important - 2 nights out painting the town pink Lots of fun in the bars in probably the most well known street in England outside of London. Had a few drinkies too many and committed the age old sacrilege of karaoke Stayed out each night until 2AM, then had to be up by 6AM to attend the conference breakfasts. I never learn. The conference was really well attended this year by nurse specialists, research staff, NHS managers, data people, doctors, but more importantly by children who were 5-year, 10-year, even 15-year survivors of cancer. Next conference will be even better. End of September: 7 day cancer conference in Dublin (here's hoping my manager will sign off on the cost of it)

A great story Anyta. I love the ending. Thanks so much for sharing it. Now I want more
