Regret and sacrifice. Powerful stuff – I particularly like the way you use detail to add to the story, but don’t let it carry you away from the main idea.
I do declare you the winner of this challenge! Congratulations!
Thank you very much Shu Sam Chen! That’s a great honor! Especially since I have read the other stories and they are excellent! It must have been very hard to choose.
