We all need to be observant enough to know when someone is need. That's very hard to do, because many people hid their pain. Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. Good luck with the contest.

A beautiful story of compass ion and care, meeting someone else's need with compassion and care but not being intrusive. Gentle and inspirational story. Best wishes for the contest.

Isn't that wonderful. May every desperate soul have such an angel to come along side and be there for them during such times. Great story told in so few words. Best wishes in the contest!

This story reeks of compassion and understanding of the human condition relating to fear and despair. It's a good entry to the contest, and shows the goodness of strangers.

This is so compelling! We do not need someone to solve our problems...we need to know someone cares about us and is willing to reach out when we feel overwhelmed.

This is an excellent entry for the 75 words flash fiction contest. So many of us have felt the need of a caring presence at some point in our lives. If I didn't know better I would swear that mental fragility was on the rise. kay

    I do think mental fragility is on the rise and we all need to be more compassionate. Thanks for your review.

This is excellent for such a short post. There are times when a person desparately need to know they are not alone. For a strangers to read the need on another's face and be the one to step forward and reassure the person they are there for them is a wonderful act of compassion.

Virtual six for this powerful flash. How many times does evil circle in this scenario when we feel completely alone. It doesn't need to have any power when we have a friend or loved one. Beautiful, dear Ginda. Sending you my best today as always and my best wishes in the 75-word flash contest.
