Simon

A Novella

De: Billie Dean Shoemate III

Narrado por: Barbara Henslee

A pure love so few people share. A future so promising. A carefree life with the man she thought she'd be with forever.

Lydia Speers knows heartache. Lydia Speers knows loss. She knows the ache of unrequited love. Simon is gone, and has been for nearly 20 years. However, she cannot seem to get him off her mind.

Everywhere she goes, something reminds her of him. The radio always seems to play their favorite songs. Though he is half a world away, she catches glimpses of him in the distance.

He is sending her messages. Leading her by only thought to strange, unfamiliar places. Calling out to her, but she can never find him. Simon is out there somewhere, and is calling her back in dreams that seem a little too real. Photos that were taken without him present suddenly show him in the background, reaching out for her.

The voices on the radio are going from mere questions to outright demands. This is more than a life she cannot let go. There is a truth to this. There is always an explanation. To everything. But maybe, some truths are in the eye of the beholder. And some explanations are not of this world.

not for me...

I just couldn't get into the story line & always felt like I'd missed a section. until the last 5 minutes I wasn't even sure what was going on... it took me over a period of 3 days off & on then finishing up Monday morning while driving to work.

A story that makes you think

This was a unnerving story. I felt bad for Lydia, what a horrible sequence of events. Is Simon really there? The ending was not what I expected at all. An entertaining read that's for sure.
