The Goodbye

by Jan Gordon

A story of love and life, of war and loss, and of longing and need.

This short story is made up of sixteen drabbles. A drabble is a story written in exactly one hundred words, not including the title, and cannot be one word more or one less than one hundred. Each drabble within this book can be read on its own, but when read in conjunction with the other fifteen, will become part of a longer story.

There is romance, there is angst, and there is violence.

The Goodbye by Jan Gordon
This is an extremely short story made up of thoughts from a woman and her man who went to war. It may be short but it’s still quite emotionally packed.

We watch their goodbyes. His time in active duty. Her time back home, trying not to think of him every moment, wondering if he’ll return. Going from hope to despair.

This is a free read and was worth the time to read it.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

It was a barely 3 minute read and the author managed to pack enough emotions and pain that most authors couldn't manage in a 300 paged book!

Hats off,Jan Gordon!!!

This was pure talent. I have yet to master the drabble, but here Ms. Gordon has sixteen, completing a story so rich in emotion with such few words. Bravo!!!
