I enjoyed how the story presents a dilemma we face in life in a unique context to challenge us in how we live.

Thanks. I didn’t know if I would make the same decision at the end, but I want to believe that I could.

Oops, sorry I'm just now seeing this months later! I definitely am inspired by the substack medium so I think I'm going to start posting them. I'm still working on the same two short stories, trying to move past writer's block honestly.

You kept me reading until the end. Works great as a short story, but you also left me wanting more! I agree wit h Diane, that's a very good dilemma.

Got me on the edge of my seat! I love the dilemma of risking his life to be with another person or stay safe ALONE with all of his stuff.
