Alice was everywhere, until she wasn’t. Just like at first, she was nowhere until she was. The absence of her before I knew she existed, was nothing. Now, the absence of her shrouds everything. Like a guest who never came to dinner; a stormy sky that didn’t deliver. Nothing can wash away the void where she used to be. This is what I’m thinking about the first time I take The Walk without her. I met Alice ...
Outstanding reviews
I can see why this story won. It's... Truly beautiful. I can't find words. It all weaves together so well, I don't feel like I'm reading at all. I'm living in the story. I don't consciously notice any description but I could probably paint it if I had the skill. Wonderful.
Thank you!
Wow!What an amazing story! It was so captivating from the beginning until the the end, aaabsolutely loved it :) I felt like some remembrance to a movie, couldn't tell what but somehow felt familiar; But this could definitely be made into a movie! Congraaats :)
Thanks!! :)
Beautifully crafted. I weptThank you
Thanks Terry!
Sparkling. Lovely little circle at the end. I loved the part where seeing the doctor made her trip all over her other griefs—so true that loss is a tangled maze.
Thank you so much! Was trying to drive home the change of ritual being more of a full circle kind of moment: glad that came through.
Thanks. I was trying to show how deeply layered the parts of our lives are despite what may seem on the surface.
I’m so glad this won. It was definitely the best story I read last week!
This story was incredible, I literally jumped out of my chair when I heard about the ER doctor. But I was wondering who was copper and how was he related to the narrator. Amazing story!!!
This perfectly carfted masterpiece has blanketed my readership experience with a warm sensation.
Hi Lindsay,Just checking back to see if you would like to join our Monday discussion (at 1:00 pm via zoom) with the Victoria Falls Literary Shorts group. If not, please send me a brief bio that I can share with the group. If you are able to join us, I will send you to zoom information. Thanks.Pat Ruhe, email ruheroy@aol,com
amazing
Brilliant. Such a positive story for one with so much grief and loss in it. I will say one thing: You could remove the first paragraph. You should remove it. I started to read this story twice and moved on because of that first paragraph. This time, I hit the read button and I opened the whole story and started at the second paragraph. I was instantly hooked. Many stories, I've been told, could lose their first paragraphs. Be that as it may, I loved the story and the writing.
Wow. How beautiful this is. How simple, straightforward and loving. I hope to find my Alice some day.
That was really good. I love the ending.
Your stories never fail to impress!! I could identify with every aspect of the character and laughed every laugh and felt all the heartbreak with her. This is such a beautiful story!!
Loved this story, Lindsay! Thank you for taking us into such a rich, delightful, deeply moving adventure. My eyes teared up in the best way!

Brilliant! I loved this. Your story so poignantly illustrates the hope we have for a true friend - often unexpected in the passage of life when you have lost a few for one reason or another - and the same hope for true love from a partner whose soul speaks to you at almost the first moment you meet him. You have inspired me on many levels. Thank you.

Lovely story!
I made an account just so that I could like and comment. What a wonderful, heartbreaking, heartwarming story. Thank you for sharing this
Lindsay, what a beautiful story — beautifully sad, beautifully hopeful. And as other have said, it doesn't feel like fiction — it feels real. In part, I think it's because how how true to life the story is, the characters, the events, the thoughts, the words spoken, nothing feels forced or "plotted". I also think it's because you have managed the elusive feat of making the writer "invisible". Your prose is clear, like water. Kazuo Ishiguro writes like that, and he's a Nobel Prize winner, so ... Well deserved win. Congratulations!
This should be a movie. I could visualize every scene as I read this story. Very well written and beautifully told. I was captivated. Thank you.
