The Bottom of the Glass [GC] A haunting past drives a woman to the edge. |
Hi, Nikola, I answered one of your blogs and thought I would find out more about you. I peeked into your cool port and read one of your short stories, "The Bottom of a Glass." From the beginning, just a young woman waking up was descriptive and witty. However when it was apparent the young woman, Celeste was in a world of hurt. I've had bad hangovers, myself. She grew angry when Jack tried to persuade her to stop drinking. I found the dialogue sounded like two people talking. I have trouble with dialogue, I was a newspaper reporter/writer. I liked yours. It was realistic. Even her sister, Camille, couldn't stop Celeste from getting so wasted. I know how that is, too. In fact a lot of your story was familiar to me. I was dating a cop and madly in love. His helicopter crashed and it took a few days to reach the crashsite. Of course both officers died instantly. It's strange, but at the same time he was probably thinking his last thoughts, I was thinking of him. I had a hard time dealing with it and I was Celeste. But Detox and years of therapy, plus treatment for Bipolar and ADHD has eased the pain. I never want to cry that hard again, but I know I will, one day. Didn't mean to rattle on so, It' the ADHD. Anyway, I loved your story and of course, to me, it is very real. Your Friend, Lesley My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
