The title of the story was quite different to how I imagined the rest of the events, but well written and very evocative. Just pondering on that quote right at the end... In many ways love also often leaves a heartache that no one can heal (except for time maybe?), and death often leaves a memory of someone that is quite different from what we normally think of when that person is alive and well, so in a way it steals some of the other memories that we have of someone. Perhaps that's a story for another time...
Thank you @plushzilla! I am not much of a writer. I'm more of a conversationalist. Doing this writing on Steemit is stretching and helping me develop my writing skills. It's not easy especially when the topics are so intense, surreal, emotion-packed! So thank you for your compliments on the writing!
Would love to hear what you have to say on the other perspectives of the quote at the end. Maybe blog about it. Turn it into a game for us to join in!
Some of the best writing reads more like a conversation! I started off by participating in writing contests to help me become more comfortable in connecting with other people on social media, but in the end it is usually about trying to find our own voice/identity in a very large and global crowd. Those thoughts in my comments were more of a reflection on some personal experiences... not sure if I will find the right time for those to come out soon. A game relating to emotions and feelings might be something to think about though :)
