Indecision by Shadylady     
Original / Uber | Modern | Alternative | Vignette | Very Short Story - 3 pages | Finished |
I wanted to reach in and grab this woman. No one should be in a situation like that. No one should live like that. No one should feel that they are no better than anyone else. The character cannot change the woman. The character cannot help the woman unless she really truely and honestly wants to. So don't change to fit into some life like that. That character should be out the door and live her life and not the others. GREAT STORY!! Will always remember it! - T. Stratton - Sep 28th, 2003   

I want to show this woman there is more to life then what she has had... to show her uncondtional love! very well done FT!!!! such a sad tail... I know the out come of this one is a very happy ending someday! - Wizzy - Sep 29th, 2003

I too have fallen into this cateory of loving and having to let go. Shadylady has captured the heartbreak in a remarkable way while at the same time still holding hope out as a beacon. - Anonomous - Sep 22nd, 2003   

It is rare that I would ever read something that made me speechless. But mere words could not express the sorrow I felt nor show the true irony of this story...In order to live we have to move on but I have to thank Shadylady for taking a moment to express a hurt that many have experienced, but few have a chance to meditate upon. Thank you Shadylady...this was more than a great story.....it was and will remain...a true work of art. - a-non - Sep 22nd, 2003   

Heart crushing, philosophical, an entry in a personnel journal? Honest in it's simplicity. Daring and courageous in this authors style. Shadylady has once again found her way in to my heart with small words. I see myself and the events of my life reflected so clearly in her stories. Letting Go by Shadylady is a story to feel EMPATHY with. - SammyLee - Sep 23rd, 2003   

This story made me cry as I read it. The circumstances could have been mine. Thank you for writing this story even with all the pain. - Christine - Sep 25th, 2003
