And then what happens?!?! Arrgh, you three are so evil about leaving cliffhangers!

[tessagratton]

Hahaha - but see, the point of the story is that she makes the choice. So, it DID end. She chose. It wasn't about consequences this time. Just the stepping off the cliff part. (Maybe I'm strongly identifying with this because it's sort of like getting a book published. Hehe.)

[alessandriana]

Oh, I totally agree that it was the right place to end, short-story-wise, but that doesn't mean the reader doesn't still want to know what happens!! (TEASE. :P)

[tessagratton]

Hahah, good, I'm glad to hear it. That said, I like to tease. ;)

Oh, my gosh, I want to know what happens next! Well done!!

[tessagratton]

Thank you! I'm glad you're invested. You can pretend whatever happens next that you want to! ;)

All I can think is 'Nooo!! There's got to be more!!!'

Great piece. You kept me guessing And wanting to know more.

[tessagratton]

Oh, there is more, I'm sure. But like I said above, I was most interested in the choice.

Thanks. I love keeping you interested/entertained. :D

Perfect.

And I kind of hope he eats her.

I'm in a bitchy mood like that, I guess.

[tessagratton]

LOL - he might. Whatever you decide. I'm rather apathetic, honestly, because for me the really interesting part was the moment of choice and all the reasons for it. :D

I love the counting myth! It's so... strange and folksy. And OCD.
