A great reminder sometimes it's better to be content with what we already have in hand.

Another winner of a story.

Great run, Jimmy!

The plot thickens... like a shoelace encrusted with maple syrup or an artery congealing with pork fat...

Someone thought Blake was beautiful. But, she was still more interested in his brother

It's not the first half, it's the same story from a different point of view

This short story is a gripping glimpse into the complexities of memory and the impact it can have on our lives. Kay's vivid recollection of her third-grade crush and the haunting connection to Blake's troubled family history create a palpable sense of suspense and unease. It's a reminder that our past experiences, no matter how distant, can shape our perceptions and decisions in unexpected ways. Kudos to the author for crafting such an engaging narrative in such a concise format! 👏📖
