The terrible days don't come to the door. (...) If only I'd been a little kinder.
Many times, wanting to move forward in time, we enter into very distressing processes that make us go in circles, like your protagonist who seems to have a day that has to start again with every action.Your story grips us from start to finish, @hillarypowers .
Indeed, there are days like this, and when they come, there's only little we can do about it.
Thank you for the compliment!
