I enjoyed your first chapter of your story and then when I came to the end and saw "An almost true story" I liked it even more. That's exactly what fiction is. Pieces of truth enhanced to make it all the more enjoyable to read and imagine. Thanks for sharing.

This is a positive, uplifting story of courage and determination despite the presence of disappointment and fear. This story proves that a person can have the strength and will to overcome hardships and forge ahead to meet their goal of survival.

Comment from estory
I think it's an interesting story of someone looking to find a place in the world, of living up to her expectations of herself. The language is full of a subtle personality, and there are some unique little moments here and there that sparkle and catch the eye. One is this scene where you describe the doctor bulldozing through the crowd and you following behind like the tail of a kite. It's unique and personal images like that that stand out to readers. estory

Thanks, sometimes real life is even better than fiction. gayla
Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
Very well-written story that grabs the reader and won't let go. I would give it a six if I had one. The doctor doesn't sound as if he was being difficult intentionally; he was just impatient and didn't understand what a pain it was being. Angie was smart enough to keep up with him and keep her job.

Thanks. As I said, it's almost, practically, somewhat true. It was a fun story to tell, of course the names were changed to protect the innocent. gayla
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Is this the start of a novel, Gayla? I hope so, this is a great start. I want to know about her abusive relationship, how she escaped it, and if she will be lucky enough to get herself a room somewhere close to the hospital. There is so much going on in this story, Angie has a lot of baggage she needs to get rid of. I'm glad Dr McCarthy 'likes her' LOL. Well done, I hope there's more. :)) Sandra xx

Thirty-five years in the medical community is fodder for many short stories. I wrote this one for a creative writing class I'm taking. I like Angie, too. Thanks, gayla
