A magnificently beautiful story ... Some might say that it was sad to read, and did not have a happy ending ... But I say, this story is perfect in that perfect timing of two people meeting, clueless that they would ever meet, who needed someone special in their lives at that precise moment in time. She gave you something no one else ever could have, and you gave her more than you will ever know, even though you do know ... This story is tender and touching to the very core of any heart that has ever had a first crush or first love, especially someone as special as I see that she was to you ... And you to her ... A wonderful memorial to her memory in keeping her memory alive ... Thank you for sharing ... Very well written ...

Awwww! This story wrenched my heart! I almost cried. My father had brain cancer (a glioblastoma) and survived for two years after diagnosis. This story really touched me, so thank you very much. You have no idea how much this means to me even though you didn't write it for me/about me. It really speaks to me.

You have a great deal of emotion bottled up in this story. I believe Short short stories are a good medium to refine the emotional impact, the colour and "pop" of a story. The central character is developed and the is shown well. The use of "Twitch" is excellent. It touches on three scenes; sound, sight and emotion; it evokes the condition that draws the attention of a childhood bully to it's victim.
The old advice, "Show don't tell" applies to all stories but to short stories in particular. " And he let go of me and I fell onto floor hitting my bum really hard." This sentence could be stronger without the adverb. "....really hard." is subjective and it takes the reader away from the event and emotion (physical and physiological in this case) to a simple relaying of information devoid of the emotion that the reader should be feeling here. For a child to be physically picked up then allowed to fall is physical abuse. The reader could be taken to a place of horror or tears, anger, etc in this line.
Thank you for posting this.
Aww, this... Perhaps she was reclaimed because she was such a good person. Sometimes the best things in life are bittersweet, and one needs to treasure them while they last. I guess I'm at a loss for words, really. But the piece itself is written beautifully.
Now, I'm not a firm believer in fate, but I have noticed that everything in this lifetime seems to happen for a reason. All these circles life takes us up upon, they all come back around somewhere. One rock dropped in a pond, see all the ripples. I don't know. I don't know where I'm going with this. I had a point, but it escaped my mind. Maybe she's the rock, the beginning.
I'm so sorry about your friend. She must've been really great.

But what you said is true when the bittersweet things come into our life, we need to harvest those things and people and put them in our hearts. She was the rock! She got me started in life, she got me moving forward. I loved her and think about her all the time!
She a girl with cancer, would step up for me when I was getting bullied.
I remember when some boys threw an egg at me and it missed hitting her, I got so mad I got into a fight with the other guy… She didn't want me to hurt him so I stopped and he punched me in the face and ran off with his buddies… I wanted to kill the other guy but I listened to Sara and I learned so much more…
Kind of getting off track but I hope you know what I mean.
Thanks AMV, If you could tell me whats your name?
