Even not knowing what to expect, I wasn't quite prepared for the sad ending. You wrote that you were not proud of your stories this week. I think you should always be proud of your work. Writing is no easy thing. Putting it out there for people to read is even harder. :-)<br /><br />http://andyfloodwritersblog.wordpress.com/2012/04/13/meet-me-there/Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07254931008152511864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3072297827426071248.post-9010371403137630772012-04-16T21:38:03.196+01:002012-04-16T21:38:03.196+01:00Despite the best efforts of the bike patrol, a chi...Despite the best efforts of the bike patrol, a child still died.

It didn't matter to me that the second was like some of the others in this Friday's queue. The accidental death of the first, though sad and unfortunate, was no match for the unspoken horror of the second. (I kind of like that you wrote two, though. More bang for the buck. <br /><br />Thanks for your comments on mine.<br /><br />Aloha,<br /><br />DougDouglas MacIlroyhttp://ironwoodwind.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3072297827426071248.post-83608524393379144172012-04-14T02:20:26.902+01:002012-04-14T02:20:26.902+01:00Awww, I hope nothing too bad happened to her.

Loved the reference to the 'red raincoat' which is seared on my memory as one of the most frightening images of recent times.
