Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Some dad's are a disgrace to their gender. I think I'd have made a different phone call, perhaps to his wife to let her know what type of man she was married to! Luckily, she knew she had people like her to help put things right. Women can be the same, dump the baby on the dad and walk away. Well done, Bill, this was a real thought provoker! :)) Sandra xx

Thank you, Sandra. It was well received for its simplicity, I think.
Comment from Capricorn30
A "feel good" ending to this nice 200 word fiction;helping one another and supporting one another in times of need is so important,particularly for this group of women;
What a life these women need;a good story idea you have created--I liked your story,great little writing

Hi, Bill. This is a great contest entry. In a very short space, you are able to convey a story with a strong emotional uncurrent. I thought your ending, with the women coming to help one of their own, just right! Good luck with this excellent write. Warm regards, Bev

That was really good. Powerful message. I could have used more description in the house and character. Would have created better imagery. Flowed very well. Great job.

Thank you for reviewing me. It was a 200 word story so I needed to eliminate a few adjectives. Bill

That's what I figured. Great work.

Comment from Louise33811
This story is a reflection of an all too common story in society today. We know from real life how this woman's plight ends. Fortunately in this story she has the sense to use a resource available to her for help. I especially like the way this story ends. Well done.

Much info passed in so few words. Good drama and smooth action. This is a story but could be true, too many dead beat dads. Enjoyed.

what a nice story. Wish it happened more often in real life. They should have these all over so single mum's and dad's can join.
