That's what you call above and beyond the call of duty.
A life saving kiss that's for sure. It has a story line with impact despite the short length. Good Job. :<) Nancy

    Thank you so much, Nancy. It's hard writing a story in 100 words or less and keeping meaning. I'm learning how to say more with less words.

This was a great 100 word dash to the finish line...
A powerful kiss from a stranger that restored life...
This was a powerful story told in so few words...
Best wishes in the contest.

    Thank you so much for the great review. It's funny how long it takes to write a very short story!

A touching tale of a kiss that helps save a life. The dialogue carries this one, conveying the danger Harry is in through the comments of the EMTs, and showing Harry's delusion/confusion through his constant calling for Maggie, and then his mistaking Sally's kiss for hers.

    Thank you so much for the review. There are so many quick decisions people, especially First Responders, are forced to make.

Sally did what Sally had to do to save the patient's life. Clever on Sally's part as your little tale indicates. Easy to follow story line here as well.

    Thank you, Brett, for the great review, and you are right, Sally did what she had to do.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is outstanding.
You have definitely given us an entire story in under 100 words, well done.
That the story is full of emotion from both of the main characters is equally well done.
A new meaning to kiss of life, perhaps?

    Thank you so much; you got the point of the story. I was trying to draw a line between CPR and a kiss. Thank you for the wonderful 6 stars. Aren't you sweet? So generous, and so nice to stop by and review!

Nice take on this time-worn prompt.
You set a scene, create characters, and tell a
story. You've done it.

Best of luck at the polls.

Peace, Lee
