What a moving story! Next time I’ll wait to put my makeup on until after I read one of your stories lol I cried!!! This really made me think about what I would do if I were in the same situation. It’s fascinating to think about! I really enjoyed this. Everyone should read Jonnie & Clyde. Great work Idris Elijah!

I listened to your story on my way to work and was on the edge of my seat! I won’t give away any spoilers but this was lovely and also very sad! It reminded me of someone I once cared for who became very sick when we were close. I can understand those feelings of desperation and just wanting to make them better. Hope to read more of your stories soon. Thank you for sharing this Idris Elijah!!

A suspenseful, thought-provoking and deeply moving story. The tension builds masterfully and it left a lasting impact on me. Releasing it on April Fools Day was an ironic twist because there’s nothing foolish about a story this well done! Very nice Idris Elijah!

Whew! Your story pulled me in from the second i started reading it! The way you built the storyline- the emotions- the suspense!! It all flowed so naturally but still kept me on edge. Honestly, it felt like I was right there with the characters. I didn’t just read it—I experienced it. That’s such a rare gift in writing. Thank you for the good read. 🫶🏽
