Welcome to The Ink Well, @deirdyweirdy! How have you been? Oh my, this story! It's very intense, and totally heartbreaking, with the ending pretty much illustrating my worst nightmare — the death of a child. Fiction takes our imaginations to places we hope never to go in real life.

This is a really well written story from beginning to end. You set the scene, give us the characters, and take us on a journey with an intense, impactful ending.

I hope we will see more from you in The Ink Well community!
