How did one question about the future end everything?

A love lost when you thought it was meant to be your forever will cause havoc upon the soul.

Now she’s left counting the hours after the heartbreak—where love feels like a virus, memories feel like wounds, and the loss of him feels like death.

Don't think because this is short that it is not powerful. A quick listen that wrenches all the emotions of heartache. From the start to the finish, I felt the pain, as this person relives the tragedy of losing who they thought was their true love and watch them move on. It's raw and gritty, full of all the feels and had my heart feel heavy, right along with them.

Creating the feels is Maxine Mitchell. She has a talent to bring out every feeling, and this one had a myriad of heartbreak emotions. She doesn't exaggerate by makes the story feel real. I love her voice, and think she made this story realistic and heart wrenching. A phenomenal performance.

All the feels!
