Such a great story, CJ. Repeating the list-making technique was funny and so effective at setting a mood. You have a fine, clever wit. Even when bemoaning your own idiocy, you make it seem light. We know better - we know what heartbreak feels like and how disappointed we are in ourselves sometimes. It is so bad at times, all we can do is laugh. At least in hindsight. Nice stuff here!
Beautiful! I loved guessing the answers, and the humor in the wrong answers. The images complement the story and illustrate the love you and Bill had, that are shown in the story. The style demonstrates the breadth and strength of your writing.
A very creatively crafted and heart warming love story. Thank you for sharing. 🙏🏼. At first, I found the multiple options jarring, but as the title intimated, it was a shell game where the actual kernel is hidden…felt like how we often experience life.
OMG! I sooooo enjoyed reading that. An amazing love story, presented in an entertaining, humorous, poignant, and beautiful way. Thank you for sharing that! ❤️
Love the choose your own adventure story shell format and chuckled through some of the choices. But also I can relate to this so much. All the frogs are funny but there is an underlying wtf darkness to them. And that makes it bittersweet too.
My heart feels warm and cozy after reading your love story.
Aw, thank you, Lynette. I appreciate your words. Catch me up on your goings on some time. Hugs!

Thank you, Sharron, master of the 50-word story! As always, I so appreciate your thoughts. Hugs!

I don't know if you figured it out, but the images actually hint at the "correct" answer.
