this is a great story about someone who wanted to give up and the person who wouldn't give in to their demands and a donor was found. great advertisement for organ donation, which i have signed up for since turning eighteen. good luck in the contest

Did she or did she not give the pills? I hope not. Oops, look how engrossed I am with this 100 word dash. Interestingly told, Author.

You did an incredible job and I'm not even sure you needed to use up the budget with your words.

Carefully, well chosen words, succinct and highly effective.

Great entry.

Considering the objective of the contest, well done. The last sentence hits it home although I don't think 100 words was enough to really capture the depth and intensity of the love of a couple who are about to be separated by death. But you did it nicely here considering the word limit. The last line fills in all the blanks, so very clever well done! No spelling or grammatical errors

I missed a couple of steps in this. I think this was the wrong contest for you because this story could have been bigger

Well done! You've created suspense,pathos and relief in very few words. The dialogue is realistic-sounding and the narration is excellent. Check the sentence "I can't this"; obviously you've left out a word. Good luck in the contest.

Nicely done... good writing skills to write a complete story in 100 words or less. You got the required, charector, conflict and resolution as needed, with a good twist at the end. One question in the line--> "Please don't. You're my life. I can't this"--- is there a word missing or am I reading it wrong. Take a peek before the contest closes. Hate to see you get penalized... good luck, John

Ah, a happy ending after setting us up for great despair--good twist. (There appears to be a word missing in the sixth paragraph.) Best wishes in the contest.

An excellent short, short story about the agony of deciding whether to help a loved one end the pain and suffering. And I love the happy ending! [Possible typo alert: In this sentence, "'Please don't. You're my life. I can't this,' she whimpered." did you mean to say "I can't DO this."?] Best wishes, Jeanie Mercer

Wow 100 on the nose. i thought 100 words would be
a bit longer somehow. well I didn't see any errors.
It was well written. Very good story. Good luck in
the contest. I hope she didn't take the pills.
