RE: The Spot - Flash Fiction

Loved the story, @jayna. For a moment I thought she was going to kill herself; she'd been too interested in visiting that spot over and over again, like gathering the courage to do it. But she chose life in the end, and that's such a fresh ending for a story which deals with something as dreadful as suicide. The contrast between expectation and denouement makes the final effect more powerful and vivid.

Thanks for sharing this piece :)

Thank you very much for your kind and thoughtful comment, @marlyncabrera. I'm glad the story had that effect for you. It is hard to convey much depth or build much anticipation in a very short piece, so your comment means a lot!
