I loved the 5-1 words at the end. Especially the one word - Bill. Bill doesn't need to say anything. His actions will show his sympathy and love.

Lovely introspective story. I really loved the bookends at the beginning and end starting with Laura and ending with Bill.

This was a beautiful insight into Laura's mind. I love the choice of detail; you really showed her strength, but also her loneliness. The story flowed nicely despite the frequent timeline jumps, which says something about the strength of your writing. Kudos.

Lovely and poignant, and very difficult for me to be coherent about. Nice job!

I agree that you do a really great job making this flow so beautifully, with all the leaps forward in time feeling like mere steps. I also love your observation that the end of the world seems to bring out the honesty in people, or maybe more accurately, the end of the world brings Laura to people who care enough about her to be honest with her, who may not say the perfect words but mean the right things.
