Food for Thought

This was a well written short story from the point of view of a baby gone to heaven. There were a few typos that did not detract from the story. 5 star short story.

This short story has you hooked right from the very first paragraph. It's sad and tragic and written so lovingly through the eyes of one of the twins, Peter James McDonald. It took me back to when my own kids were babies and reminded me that sometimes we all feel defeated and alone as I so often did. This story is sure to bring a tear to your eye and break your heart. Dan Barbier somehow manages to capture the very soul of this little boy. Well done Dan.

Good, but sad short story, especially if you are a parent. A quick read.

This short story was quite interesting having been written from the perspective of an infant. Such a sad tale.

It was okay. An interesting take on death from the perspective of an infant.

Crying twins; the recession; aftermath; consequences.
Short story. Predictable.
