Mystery Author, this is very well written and should do very well in the contest. If I read it right, she didn't give him the pills and now maybe he'll live with the donor available. Hope that is what you meant. Good luck in the contest.

nice one. I like the contrast between the very emotional bulk of the story and the upbeat end. I wonder if they'll ever talk about what almost happened

Nice one

Great tenson for a write of so few words. It wasn't clear if she gave him the pills or not, so I guess I'll just be left hanging! Well done, regards, Bill

This is the best entry I've read so far. You have a lot of drama packed in to the allowed 100 words. You should fare well in this contest.
Good luck,
Connie

Wow - This is really good. Just think if she'd given him the pills he would have killed himself needless. I really think you told a fantastic story. Kat

I had to read this a couple of times before I understood what was happening. At least, I think I understand now. A hundred words is not much to work with, is it? I like this story, and I like the happy ending too.

"If you love me-" Your use of dashes is kind of through me, but I understand your use of them. Good luck in the contest. -Judy

The flame of faith is all over this. Please help me, I could feel his pain and despair giving up. I felt her clinging on the hope and the Dr coming in saying we have a donor. What a beautiful write of hope and faith in the mist of despair.this is an inspiring write. Good luck in the contest.

Wrenching tale of the decision faced by so many spouses, and family members each day. When is it okay to let go? When should we give up hope? Well done.

You set the whole scenario very successfully and manage to convey the pain and misery of the situation very well.
Your final two lines are inspirational, and validate her decision.

Somehow 'she whimpered' seems out of place! Would 'she groaned' or even 'she whispered,' be a reasonable alternative?
