So much truth in this. The incomplete ending is often the hardest to accept - as you say, not knowing the crime, not getting any answers. The last stanza really hits home, recognizable to anyone who has been in a similar situation. Thank you...

Posted on Thu, 27 Jul 2017
You capture the odd, surreal nature of a dream very well in the first part of this story. I like the flashes of humour as well. Personally I'm not a fan of 'it was all a dream' endings - although, again, there are some nice touches of humour...

Well done on your own 300. Here's to the next 300.
