My mood had changed drastically after hearing the big news. Nothing could ever prepare you for hearing about a loved one dying, even when you know it's coming.

I had watched him turn from a man who'd never shared an ounce of vulnerability to a sobbing child. It scared me. I couldn't bear to watch him this way, so I ran and ran as fast as I could.

Outstanding reviews
I enjoyed your story. There were a lot of characters in it that made it a little tricky to keep track of everyone. I like the description of the father in the first paragraph. It was interesting to read about different cultural traditions from mine.
Thanks Glenna for reading it, glad you enjoyed it. I may have tried to squeeze too much into the 3000 word limit! I appreciate your feedback.
Wow, that's such a sweet story! I really loved it. It made me cry a bit at the end but in a good way. It was just beautiful. I really liked all the animals and their different ideas. That was a really cool concept. Excellent story!
Thanks Anna, it means a lot. Glad you liked it, I intertwined a lot of what my family is like in some character and tried to channel how they expressed themselves during those hard times.
Well done, Eric. Beautiful lyrical language. A pleasure to read.
Thanks Bruce! I appreciate you checking it out!
