[Haight Ashbury · Rating 2 out of 5]

I'm not really sure what I just read. There were a lot of questions left unanswered and not enough information to lead you to your own conclusions. I believe this could have been a really great read if it would have been developed more thoroughly. As for the general plot, it is a very sweet, and sad, story. It makes you feel for the narrator a sort of joy as well as a bit of sympathy. The idea was definately there but fell a bit short of what it could, or should, have been.

Simple and mysterious. It could happen to any of us.

Well written novella. Would have been a lot better if it had been longer!

This was okay. It took a bit to realize it wasn't a young woman - a girlfriend - whom the author writes about. A lost love just the same...

It is the worst feeling in the world to lose a love one. What you wouldn't give to hear their voice, see their face or feel their touch. Great story.
