This contest entry is filled with vivid imagery. I enjoyed reading. Your words painted a picture, yet were also filled with emotion. I wish you the best of luck with the contest.

Thank you for reading and sensing the emotions behind this short story. Life has a way of changing in an instant...I appreciate your kindness and best wishes. Smiles and hugs!
Comment from Natalie Goodwin
There's so much emotion to this story. I loved the vivid images throughout. The opening line "Flickering flames danced as the crackling logs crumbled into red hot coals on the hearth" was a beautiful way to begin the story.

I like to draw the reader into the setting of a story whether it be comfort or a deeper emotion. I am pleased that you understood and felt that. Thank you for reading and commenting. Smiles and hugs!

Comment from BethShelby
Nice flash fiction, a little sad but I understand completely where something like this would come from. It could my story because it sounds like me. I lost my husband in 2017. I thought that name Begin Again sounded familiar. I used to read your stuff back and 2013 which was when I left FanStory for a while. I just got back on in January. It is nice to find you still here and still writing. I guess I still your fan because I got the notice you'd put something on.

Hi Beth...I too just came back because before my husband passed he kept insisting that I write again. I lost my parents and then my husband all within 14 months. It's been tough and difficult to write but I am trying. Thank you so much for reading, commenting and being a friend. Smiles for a better day for both of us.

I find writing to be good for me so that is why I can back. I got the urge to write again in January.

So sweet! You did a wonderful job with this all the way until the painful jab at the end. Sometimes our memories are so close, we can touch them.
Sending you my best today as always, and best wishes for the contest,

Thank you Sally. The flash fiction is very personal and I find it's difficult to begin writing happy stuff again. I know it will come but for now I dwell with the memories and share bits and pieces. Thanks for reading and so generously commenting. Smiles to you!

Life truly does change and not always the way we want.
A tender story of love and the heartbreak that comes along.
Very nicely done.
Blessings

Comment from GE Parson
Dear Begin,
I really liked and felt the sorrow of whomever was recalling better times with her/his loved one. You got your point across, but I was expecting some more. Whatever, thanks for sharing your work. Friend Jerry

It's difficult to put much more into 100 words but I assure you the emotions were real. Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts.
Comment from Bill Schott
This one-hundred-word story, Life Changes, has the required word count and finds the spot where love once lived within two hearts.
