You and me both, if He hadn't have died for me, I wouldn't have a future, and I would still have an answerable past, although my preference is happy endings, I still recognise a great story, beautifully written Jim, well done, blessings Roy

    Thank you so much for your kind words! If I'm not writing directly about God, or posting something silly for sa contest, I like to write about the human condition and sometimes things in life don't end up with neatly wrapped packages. But I would rather be positive than too negative.

This was a very intriguing story to listen to and I enjoyed listening to it very much. I wish you the very best with all of your writing. Sometimes we have to write things that don't seem quite appropriate for the particular day but we have to write while it's fresh in our minds. Patricia .

Though grim, as you stated, this story is well written and engaging. Your protagonist is well developed which entices the reader to his way of thinking. He draws the reader into his way of thinking as he recognizes and regrets his mistakes and understands the reasons for his consequences. This is an exceptional story.

So, the twist was that Molly was an undercover cop and she still didn't turn you in after you held a gun to her and forced her into a motel room to get the sleep you needed to keep on the run from the law. Maybe she did love you after all. I was seated on the edge of my chair reading this wondering how it would end and the surprise ending was a thrill in itself.

The Easter Sunday part didn't bother ME, Jim; I'm Jewish!

What a terrific tale this is! I was enraptured from the get-go! It was totally exciting right out of the gate! I'm a sucker for love stories of this kind, so I absolutely loved every word. FANTASTIC work!! xoxox

I could not stop reading...such an engaging tragic story. At least, both people found each other even if it was just for a very brief time. I think you could have won a contest with this posting. It really is an excellent piece of writing.

One small typo - a space needed after You've:

"Well, Mister Thorson, my story also sounds phony, but it's true. All you need to know is, I didn't take any money. You'vegot to believe that."

Fantastic writing! Two innocent people caught up and on the run. You did a great job of character building with both Molly and Alan. The pace was fast, maintained throughout, and the story kept my interest.

Ah, Jim, so you're the one who promised a grim story for us today. However, it is very well written and engaging! You held me spell-bound the entire time. A Sunday type of love was an amazing line!

I owe my life the the same Man, my friend.
Hugs,
Rhonda

You are a fantastic ficition writer. The actiion and dialogue are always good and your work is clean with no errors. It is easy to follow but I'm always a little disappointed in the ending. It isn't satisfying to see and innocent man charged with something he didn't do. Maybe you just consider yourself a realilst because this can happen in real life.

    I don't always have such endings, but I do often. I try to write about situations that could happen in life, and the endings aren't often so pretty, though I enjoyed 31 years of happiness with my wife. Happy Easter!

Very fine story.
It reads like it was set in the 40s or 50s, but the Nova was 60s or 70s(?).
I'm afraid that even if he could prove his innocence of killing Allison, he would be responsible for Molly's death.
Best wishes.
