Whatever made me read this - I usually don't read oneshots or sad stories, so a sad oneshot is quite something - I'm glad I did!
It's nicely written, very emotional without exaggerating and authentic.
I'd love to read a longer Gelphie story written with your skills :)

This was written so well. I adore angst and the way you wrote this wrenched my heart in sympathy. Even though English is your native language, you definitely possess a silver tongueGlinda's inner struggle while she put up a front was top notch your description, especially when a boy asked Glinda a question, was supurb. Man i can't think of enough synonyms to convey the amazing quality of this story. Well done!
