Stories Sown With Hope's avatar

An internal hell is powerfully described in this story. It calls up the survivor’s guilt I’ve heard in stories of soldiers returning from war, or the few survivors of a natural disaster, or an airplane crash.

I read this yesterday, and it stuck with me all night, a kind of haunting. A complete story in so few words! Well done!

Thank you! It was very difficult to hear my grandmother speak like that, and her words haunted me more than any horror story I've read in recent years ever could. I felt like I had to write to get it off my chest.
