AAAAaaaarrrrrgggghhhhhh!!!!!! :O :O :O
I was loving this until the ending...
Sorry friend @negativer, for the negative reaction.
IMNSHO, your story is plenty remarkable, thought provoking, and disturbing without the horrifying ending.... Could I please have the 'B' version, where the little girl isn't mutilated at the end? :O
I'm going to re-write it in my mind... In my new version, Michael has seen the light on the way home and instead of walleting his little girl, Michael, Mika, and Kayla pool their remaining resources and move to a commune in the country... ;)
Again, apologies for the strong reaction... Just my open, real, raw reaction.... You're an amazing writer, my friend.
😄😇😄
So...an ending that's ... not sad? I ... don't understand. ;)
I hear you though. It made me sad to write it, but to really emphasize the 'sacrifice' she was willing to make, there had to be a... sacrifice.
I do need to write more uplifting stories once in a while, to balance things out.
Thank you for reading, and sorry for the harsh ending!
Hey, my friend, no need to apologize! I do appreciate you and your writing; my desperate need for happy endings may just be a character flaw of my own.
Thanks for not taking offense. ;)
Oh, and I do understand the need for sacrifice... :D
