Ohhhh, Karen!!! What a brilliant story! I'm amazed at where your imagination goes with these "first lines"! Incredible!
This was such a gripping read!! A serious page-turner!!! (minus the actual pages!) I love how you began AND ended with the train rolling out of sight...a beautiful way to bookend this sad tale.
So much emotion in this tragic tale. Thanks so much for another excellent story - and thank you, too, for your kind shout-out for FLF and encouragement to look at all the prompts!!
Loving your work and can't wait to see more! Thank you!
