“Life is a Lesson” by Nicole Evert

Submitted to Contest #150

“Please, don’t do it! I can fix it – we can work through this!” She was in a state, failing to hold back tears that slowly poured down her face, her mouth folded downwards, openly spilling out words of sorrow and forgiveness – a little spit dripping out as well. She held her hands out, reaching, but couldn’t grasp him, his foot on her chest, keeping her fixed in that position. All she wanted was to get to ...

Author bio

I'm an amateur writer, it's something I enjoy and not to be cheesy but generally do it from the heart, trying to relate in one aspect or another to one or more of the characters in my stories.
