I love it. I love what you did with it and where you took it. So didn’t see that coming. Where is my doom and gloom?? Ha ha… Nice.

I would just take out ‘taken’ at the end?

Thanks, I felt you left the door open for a misdirect and I had to take it. Plus, I’m an optimist and a “grief for grief/death for death” scenario didn’t play all that well for me. I’ve got more doom and gloom in me for sure, just didn’t want it for her. There’s always more stories to write…
