Yippee. Yay. I am happy to announce the release of a 5 STAR short story by Emma Meade. This is one you will want to add to your reading list.
She felt the depth of her despair left her no options.
,
Twice she had stood on the tracks, staring down the iron monster. Twice she had jumped off, unable to go through with it.
“Third time’s the charm.”
She held her ground as the train approached. As it went through her, a man grabbed her hand, pulled her aboard, and said, “Welcome to the ……………..”

5 STARS – Would Buy It For Them (lol)
I love the cover of this book and think it is excellent. The colors and subject jumped off the page. The title is great, too. Both are very descriptive of the story to be told.
Because of the subject matter and the way Emma dealt with it, I felt this book deserved a high rating. A perfect way to handle such a sensitive topic.
A short story. Fast read. Once I “turned the first page”, I couldn’t put it down. Raced through it. I thought it might be too dark and depressing, but Emma’s approach to the subject of depression and suicide was both tragic and uplifting. We always have choices.
Cassie, the main character, seems both tragic and wimpy, weak. But it took her three times to go for it, so she still had her doubts. I wonder how many people went through with it and realized too late they didn’t want to die. Others, you know they mean it. I know a girl who hung herself in her bedroom closet. Very obvious she wanted to die. All she had to do was stand up to stop it. How utterly bereft must someone be? So alone, with no hope.
A morbid subject, but one more talked about today than ever. Depression is actually treated, without a person becoming a pariah.
I liked the other characters, except for gross Syd. It wouldn’t be right if they were all easily likeable. We need a bad guy. Got to have someone to hate or dislike.
“Leap of faith.” Isn’t life just that?
