my heart

[Svetlana Litvinchuk]

Oh, mine too.

[Carol Shamon]

the ocean I’m so scared of

because it reminds me of love... Yum!

[Svetlana Litvinchuk]

This line is gold.

[T R Poulson]

Love it! The use of language and metaphor is superb, and I love how it builds and then whiplashes me (in a good way) with that simple surprise ending. I want to keep reading this one all day long

[Svetlana Litvinchuk]

That ending was so powerful--whiplash is a fantastic way to describe it, T R.

[Reagan Pugh]

...the meal I make for my friends so I don’t have / to tell them I need them... (❤️)

[Svetlana Litvinchuk]

Love LOVE this line.
