Flash fiction, but captures very well the essence of one of the main themes of the wonderful Semiosis. Read this. If you like it, read the novel.

Very touching.
I buried my mother early 2019, and I totally feel with the decision of the protagonist.

I love flash fiction.
This was beautiful. Having been with my mum, in a hospice at the end, I'd have done the same.
Thank you Sue Burke.
