THIS IS THE DAY WE DIEDepression sounded like a half-witted song, one that couldn’t be sung at home or school or the church. It was something so ephemeral that it seemed to have lost its meaning. It was unlikely that one of the children would somehow become infected with the virus. Life with the Bishop was simple: mornings with prayers and a plate of fried bananas; afternoons with Jesus and rosaries and seashells; evenings with stories and hymns. There was no way a child living with Bishop would end up being contaminated...
Outstanding reviews
I’m blown away as to how you haven’t won yet. There are several moments where the prose dips into this poem-like beauty and it seems to come to you so naturally. I love how Ten (Eleven)’s fate is left hanging, but you leave just enough room for speculation. This is a great study of the human heart. Excellent writing.
You literally jinxed it in the best possible way.
Oh thank you so much
WTF Abigail congrats!!! It’s literally criminal that I won before you did. Highly deserved, and about damn time! 🥳
I know, I can’t believe it! 😂 Now I’m just waiting for that trophy symbol on your page, if you ever get around to submitting…
ABIGAIL - I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!! CONGRATS A MILLION AND REEDSY LOVED YOU!!! ❤️
By the way I absolutely love this. You deserve it so buy some cheesecake and break out the champagne!
Thank you so so much
Oh my gosh, that first paragraph is the best thing I have read. Wow. I can completely relate. It is difficult to write stories about religion and depression or similar issues but you tackled it well, not preachily. The focus is the characters and the prose and that's wonderful. I look forward to an Airuedomwinya win soon.
Wow! Thank you so much. I'm so glad you're back!
Yesss I was right ahaha. Congratulations Abigail! Long deserved ❤
Yes you were right! Thank you for your support.
I have been waiting for this day since the moment I first read your stories. You are so talented Abi, this is utterly deserved. When I read this last week, the first paragraph pulled me in sticky and sweet like honey and didn't let go until the very end. Congratulations, I'm so proud.
Oh my! I can't thank you enough for your support. Seriously, thanks
Raising a virtual toast to you 🥂😘

Wow, thank you so much
Weldone!This was a great story. Calling it the dreaded disease that fifteen didn't know but experienced and somehow links the name to the feeling though in nescience? Yes... 'twas good. Ten(Eleven's) disappearance, the setting... Wow... You try! 👏👏👏
Thank you so much
I haven't managed to log onto Reedsy for a few weeks because of work and school so I have missed a lot. There is absolutely nothing I can add to the comment son this story - truly extraordinary, exquisite. Congratulations on such a well-deserved win!
Oh, thank you so much
Abigail, I thought this was a wonderfully tragic and poetic story. I really liked how you described the disease and how wove the affects of it into your story. Thank you for writing this story and congratulations on your win.
Thank you

This was such a beautifully written story. It flowed naturally, and I really enjoyed how you built the relationship between the characters. The ending was really touching and will definitely stick with me. Great job! I hope to read more !
