Very impactful! I like it. :D
Brief but swirskriffic!
That hit the spot. Thanks.
I hope this wasn’t based on a true story.
Very well written.
Oh, no.
It’s actually from a four-part poem I wrote in college about complicated (and emotionally unacceptable) reactions to death… the other three parts were based on true stories, though, so.
I sort of feel it is wrong of me, but I burst out laughing at the end line. Nicely done.
I love the music/words combination. It was perfectly paced.
