Dang it, @negativer! That's it. It's time for you to get a lobotomy that makes you have only happy, pleasant thoughts!
But seriously, this is powerful and well done. Now... I'm imagining that the little girl has a mere flesh wound and the soldier is going to have his eyes checked and be much more careful in the future. There! Fixed up that mess!
It's possible your ALTERNATE TIMELINE of my story is what actually happened. You are free to believe! :)
Thanks for reading!
Yes, it's kind of chronic with me! Thanks for letting me have my way with your ending... at least in the safety of my imagination.
Jayna, I love your solution! :D
THANK YOU!
Ha ha! Thank you, @creatr. We all have to do what we need to do to manage the crazy things that go on in our brains! 😊
