I like this. A few suggestions, perhaps? "...but one day the tightness was actually heart attack" - is there a missing "a" in there before heart attack? Also, I think rosey may be spelled "rosy," but perhaps it works both ways. And this, "Didn't make no difference to her whether he went to heaven or hell, as long as he didn't go alone, and as long as he went rosey-cheeked." - This line is my favorite, that's exactly how I think Alma Jr. would feel about Ennis. Lovely work!

I liked this one-shot. I always imagined that Ennis would do some heavy thinking about God in his final days, and I think you captured that. I loved this: "She cried her eyes out for her daddy, long and hard, but when his ashes fluttered away on the breeze, her tears dried up." That was beautiful. Good job.

thanks, kinda sad - but it adds a little more to the story of them.
