Well, I wasn't quite sure what to make of this at first, I guess I have missed the rest of it. However, within VERY few words, you've managed to paint a picture which begs a thousand questions, so I guess it is pretty clever!

Good job:-)

Story told in so few words. I bet that husband really regretted his last words!

Good luck in the contest!

The words tell the tale. The reader can put them in whatever context he/she wants to. Unholding hands is really a very telling image. Nice work. Good luck in the competition. Ray.

Amada, very clever.

I especially like the "unholding hands"
That's where it begins, with the little things "we used to do."

Good luck in the contest.

I'm not sure where you were going with this. You've left a lot up to the reader to interpret and I like that. A hundred people could read this and come up with a hundred different scenarios. Very interesting.

This is good, very good and I hope and pray you won't finish it ever. Could lead to roads of disaster and we wouldn't want that. You captured the essence of the contest.

Very nice. It made me stop and think for a moment. Was the wife going back to work? Was she meeting a friend? Was she leaving her lover for good? Very nice job. Jeff Sturgeon

An impressive use of six words to convey emotion, and to raise suspense. A great job, and I congratulate you. I love the mystery of the final word, "Fast"! Does that refer to the reaction of those holding hands or to the motion of the wife as she crosses the street? Good! GerryMacNeil

Oh, this is so clever! Talk about capturing a lengthy scenario in six words! Great job. The FS gremilin has just informed me I must say more, even though I argued that I was using sixteen words to review six words. There, this should do it. LOL
