A daughter revisits her life decisions as death dawns upon her. Unfortunately she cannot enjoy the satisfaction of dying in solitude,unexpectedly she is joined by her mother.
I'll take another look at this later, but at first read I feel it is a good piece. 2 and 20 should be written though in my opinion with it being so short. Will come back after work :)
I thought this story was very poignant. I'm giving you a link here. http://www.creativewritinglife.com/cwlshortstorycontest.htm
It's a competition I've just come across which is free to enter,ha a £100 prize and the theme is Regret. It could be perfect for this story.
Give it a try. Nothing to lose. Wendy
Thank you for your feed Back... I purposefully did not want to reveal untill the end the real cause of the separation as it builds anxiety amongst readers, however I see your point in atleast letting them know how she got herself into this situation, i.e: why did she lock the room in the first place, even if it were a casual reason i guess mentioning it clears a few thoughts. However I also liked the fact that because I hadn't stated why the door was locked, the reader pondered over whether it was a mistake or done on purpose... But I suppose one must let the reader catch on to something and not leave them to thier interpretation completely. Thank you for your pov ...working on this now..
