That’s so beautifully sad. That wanting to turn back when it’s too late..

Oh man. Regret combined with pure terror is such an awful, awful thing, and you portrayed it well.

Emotion very well conveyed.

Many folks do things they would like to take back. Unfortunately, some things have no do-0ver.

Beautifully and convincingly written.

Choosing a winner from this group of stories was very difficult. They were all simply terrific.

In the end, “Fading” prevailed on the weight of sheer excellence.

Congratulations Paige for a brilliant entry.

That touched me in a very intense way. Thank you for sharing this with the world.

This was wonderful. You really captured the feelings someone goes through beforehand. I can see why this won!
