Loved the twist and the new feeling of hope when you realize his life is really not all lost. Well done. So where have you been lately?

Very interesting book :).
You're a good writer!

Wow amazing! I couldn't take my eyes off of it!

Okay, so I read it again after the contest was over, and then realized I'd already read it and commented and then... where was I?

That... was... AWESOME!!!

This is brilliant. And I totally did NOT see the end coming. Way to go!

Great story...smooth flow. Old-age and the accompanying strife can sometimes be confusing and hard to take. You told this story well in a short space of words. Well done.

This story really resonated with me. For the last 8 years of her life, my paternal grandmother couldn't really remember anyone. There were rare moments when she would look at me and say that I reminded her of a boy she used to know (my father) and other times she would just say that she loved me and ask me why she loved me. You really captured the disease and how it affects an entire family. The paragraphs that described Sandra and how much she was loved yet forgotten was heart wrenching. The structure of that particular part of the story was amazing and added so much to how I read it. It was probably one of the best examples of showing and not telling that I have read today. You definitely have my vote.

Marvelous!
