Ahh indeed life is hard, but all the more satisfying when luck and passion are on your side! ... Although I could do with some of that magic about now. Cheers for the vote mate!

Tough...being an optimist, I was hoping for a more positive ending. But, alas, that is life.

When I hear stories of divorce it always seems to be these 2 people out 2 hurt each other but here its different. Good story

Interesting short fiction. Did notic a tendency for telling not showing. And plenty of back story that in a longer work might disappear to another part to be brought out at the correct time. Also you need to consider what characters are 'main' and what are 'lesser.'

You did display a lot of emotion in this story. I had a feeling a dawn the story would have continued. I wondered if this wasn't a piece of a larger story. This was a good read. Good Luck!

Thank you! It's good to be back! Hopefully they will sort the contest system - they seem to be having some problems at the moment.

You've managed to convey that kick in the gut that divorce serves - hopefully only good writing not recounting...p

Hello Ben, it's nice to 'meet' you. Your story is good -- as one who has been through this, I can say you've captured the essence very well. It's nice to see that the man has equally felt the pain ...
Very nice job!
