Mmmm what to say about these two. Part of me says run from this man, I don’t think selling the gun will change his thought process. Perhaps love will conquer all.

Run from the father of your child because he has exhibited suicidal ideation? I'm not sure that would be the best way to deal with it. It would certainly be difficult and emotional, but I don't think abandonment is the top choice on the menu.

Definitely didn’t see this end(?) coming and was captivated throughout it. Powerful and sad…and left me wanting more. In short, everything I want in a short story.

I'm thrilled that you like it. Some people get upset when they want more and don't get it. I can't write novels every day.

The storytelling is fun. Positive reactions like this one extend that fun exponentially.

Blown away by the sheer number of stories you write while still keeping them engaging and interesting. Glad I subscribed.
