Comment from Brad Bennett
Wow, Monica, my kind of story. How dare this story be reviewed and not be given 6 stars. I was thinking she was dreaming, and in essence it was a dream, but a dream from beyond where science knows, and where mystery goes. A fantasy of a life so strong in its presence, it remained even beyond existence... But why not? We can't wander into any old house, and not sense the past residents are still there.
Well done.

Dear Monica--
The story develops a theme of absence of other people in a completely convincing way.
Wherever did you get the idea?
The ending is one I never saw coming.
It's profound as well as surprising, as if she's a ghost who hasn't realized that she's died.
At least she never resorts to compulsive eating. :)
these are my humble suggestions:
The uneasiness was now growing--is redundant & also unneeded because the next sentence describes the feeling of unease much better.
She decided on a phone call to the office, hoping a human voice would settle her uneasiness.
She decided to 'lie down' & take a nap.
It's great that you're productive at this time.
sincerely,
roberta lawrinsky

Hi Monica!
Dreams are such a gift from the world of the unconscious oversoul.
Glad you're open to accepting proofreading suggestions. --roberta--
