I agree. Demon Copperhead was one of the best books I've read for a long time and I still think about it. The end leaves us with hope for a better future but my a lot of things go wrong for that kid in the book. A Tale of Two Cities stuck with me for decades and it didn't go well for one character in the end. I could go on. Looking forward to your upcoming book.
Thanks, Darlene! Yes, we're stuck a long while chewing on the what-ifs of how some characters could have been saved. Regrets live a long time, even if we only read about them instead of living them, it seems!
I totally agree. It's the tragedy that tears us apart. Happy endings are fine, but tragic endings stick with you. A happy ending is just a story, a life lived in comfort, but a tragic ending is a tale, an adventure that sticks with you, and even haunts you.

Indeed. I suppose that's the point of tragedies: to make us think hard about how to avoid the issues that befell the protagonist!
I think you're right. The stories that stick with us have thorns that catch our clothes as we walk past.
Oh man, I absolutely love that line! See, this is why you're a poet. :) Thank you for restacking this!
