| Oh this is so rich! What a sad tale but praise the Lord for the youth group who took the time to minister to Mia. What a promising end! I loved the poetry that flowed through the story too. Well written! | ||

| Your written words always capture me. The pace is good, the "hints" of her life perfect and the hope at the end made me whisper..."run quickly." Thank you for sharing yoru gift of writing. | ||

| Fantastic. The hopelessness portrayed from the first line was so glaring against the beautiful poetry. I'm a sucker for a happy ending, so I loved it. But it wasn't forced and that made it so much better. | ||

| The depth of this entry had to be totally inspired. Hope amid hopelessness and even mixed with poetry. Wow. Take it to the hurting masses. | ||

| I actually missed the tremendous power of the title. I should have been equally impressed with hope amid hopelessness when time has run out. Even more remarkable. | ||
