Compromises
Everyone has needs, and in order to satisfy these needs we make compromises. Compromise love for safety, beauty for compliance, truth for piece of mind. Even if we are more miserable in the end, there are still things we cannot face, and things that we must have.

Ouch Alada! I can't be sure if it harder for the reader to read the truths about how someone chooses to live life or the writer to write about such heart breaking circumstances. Sadly, you did an excellent job of capturing the misery of the three characters you brought into attention.

"...but not too much and not too loud..." This is powerful.

I could almost write a book about why these three drabbles are so damned good. The grammar, the subject matter, the use of past perfect when past perfect was most effective and called for, the intensity of each concise story. Age aside, you write as though you've studied the craft since birth.

The cliche "short and sweet" usually comes to mind when you're reading short, 100 word "drabbles." Not these. These were agonizingly depressing; they hit me in the gut, made me feel . So they were an unqualified success.

Great writing young lady, keep at it; I believe you have a future in this thing called "writing."

By the way, I'm voting for you in the contest.
