This is a terribly sad story that you have entered into the 70 word flash fiction contest. Unfortunately, whether this is fiction or not, the story could be true. And that makes it all the more sad. Well written.

You did a good job with your contest entry. Though sad, I enjoyed reading it. You told a good little story following the rules of the contest. You are right about what mother's believe about their children.
Best wishes in the contest.
Respectfully, Jan

Excellent entry for the 70 Word Flash Fiction writing prompt contest. Good word count. Interesting theme. Engaging plot. Well developed characters.

Heroin is hard to quit. It's a very sad story.

Good luck in the contest.

This is a well thought out seventy word flash fiction piece for the contest. To tell a story in so few words is a challenge that you've executed well. What a sad twist at the end. Best wishes in the contest.

This seventy-word story, Yo'll Always Be My Baby, has the proper word count and creates a scene of sadness as a mother says farewell to her son. Poignant.

Ouch, a heroin needle hanging from the arm of a little boy is devastating. You never want them to do drugs in the first place and then this happens unexpectedly. What a sad start for a youngster in life.

Strange how as I read it I thought you had given birth and was being rushed to the hospital for sutures and such for "my baby" had a needle in his arm before discovering an older son using tar was the victim.

I like the surprise and tragic ending. Hard drugs destroy not only the lives of the user, but their families too. I especially liked the tragic, somber poem of your work. Good luck in the contest.
Blessings,
Cindy

The poem was jarring and egregious. I'm sure that was your intention. I've never read a poem like this before so thank you for expanding my mind. You write as if you've lived it, I mean no disrespect.

    Thank you for your comments and your review. However, this is not a poem. It is a flash fiction story. I apologize for the confusion. Thanks again.

This surely has to be part of a bigger story - or it needs to be as there is a back story here which would be fascinating, as well as an insight into what comes next! Well written, and best wishes for your entry.
