Man, this one is dark and gritty and so well-crafted. You make it appear effortless, Terveen. I love dark stories, and you’re gifted in that genre. It’s always a pleasure to read you, Terveen. 🙂
Wow, what a great story Terveen. It truly shows how people can take so much and then they are changed and often for the worse. This was such an excellent write, I enjoyed the ride. I loved how you played out the ending. At one time I thought it might be a split personality but then I decided against that. Low and behold a surprise ending with a real twist inserting the older women in the end. Sending blessings and hugs, Joni
Excellent story, Terveen!
