The “ding ding” of the car got me. Great touch.

Good!

Wow! It seems like she had to do it. There’s so many possibilities, all mysterious.

Love it, it’s best when so much can be said in a shorter format!

This was eerily beautiful. The way you set it up makes me want to go there and try being "taken" to wherever she's going.

"She gone." Well done, Sharron!

Two good surprizes today. )) If the takers were up to only good, there wouldn't be so many tales of nightmare experience. They wouldn't snag one at a time. We're easy. Moth to the flame.

I loved the writing, the brevity, the suspense, and the ending!

A bit of personal disclosure: I have thought about this for decades. And after a moment's hesitation, I would go. Of all of your stories I have read, this one will stay with me the longest. Sparsely but very adequately said.

I wonder how many of us would walk into the light? I'd certainly be curious. When I was a kid, it was a secret fantasy; now that I'm older, I'd probably hesitate before I followed it.

What a compact, suspenseful, and well written story. Like Kristi said above, it’s eerily beautiful!

If you go, be sure to "beam me up!"

I took the ding ding thing out of my car because I take old guys to the doctor and they refuse to use seatbelts. I might plug it back in just so I don’t miss out on something interesting.

Awesome. I like that you didn't say what the light was. Just that is beckoned. Leaving it open to interpretation. If you are in the autumn of life, why not? Could be the greatest adventure ever. 🤓

Oh gosh, Sharron, I love it, but don't quite know what to make of it! Which is absolutely right, right?! Amazing!
