Got love the changing toenail colors. The yellow from Rolanda is great. A excellent story of moments in a long life. Truly

This one caught my eye because you used something so simple as nail polish to reflect so many changes. That was truly inspired! Loved it to bits!

	Die- you can't do that to a cat. Since what can a cat do in an empty apartment? Climb the walls? Rub against the furniture? Nothing seems different here but nothing the same. Nothing has been moved,but there's more space. And at nightime no lamps are lit. Footsteps on the staircase, but they're new ones. The hand that puts fish on the saucer has changed too. -Wislawa Szymborska

I love this story! I think that the changing of the [glow=red,2,300]toenails[/glow](which I love ;D)and of the fish is a great device to show the passing of time! I also love the change from friends to a married couple and her ring!

And it's beautifully written and quite sad as well, but with a nice ending. Thanks for sharing!

My launchcast was playing a song called "Remember Munich" as I was reading this and I swear it was the most hauntingly perfect music for this brilliant story. Bravo!
