This is very well written, and I enjoyed listening to it very much. In our lives, we do have to sometimes make a final stand and we just have to stand and face the enemy. I appreciate your words very much. Have a good day and I'm hoping that you will enjoy fan story as your writing outlet. Patricia

Very nicely written. Great descriptions, you can feel the anticipation and tension.
I would suggest a larger font as this is very tiny.
Best of luck in the contest! Julie

Great piece. The fear that one must feel before the engagement is captured here perfectly.

This is a strong competitor for the Newbie Flash Fiction.
