Hi all. I have posted a short story called The Choice, which is new here but was previously posted on a different site under a different pseudonym. If you haven't read it yet, please read it before you read the rest of this post.
A few people have asked for me to continue it as they feel it is unfinished. A good short story should have a beginning, a middle and an end but should leave the reader wanting more. Despite appearances, the story is not about the child, it is about how the parents handle this little bump in the road in the life of their child. The end is the mother giving their child a choice and the parents establishing that they will continue to love and support their child no matter which choice is made. As a result, what the child chooses is immaterial and the ending is supposed to emphasise that.
I hope you enjoyed my story. I have no intention of revisiting these characters in further stories.
Cheers, barbar
