Very well written! Just hated how sinister and tragic the ending was. And it happened so fast too. There wasn’t a lot of indication that the ending intentions were there, so it was kind of a case of whip lash. It was a little too much as far as emotions but a good story overall. On a personal note, it was unrelatable as I’m not a mother nor do I want to be.

This is my fastest DNF of my life. It's honestly impressive. I got two minutes into it and stopped. The first character to talk put on the worst French accent I've ever heard for all of the characters and I realized I couldn't do it.
