Oh, man. So many become statistics. So many
This one packs a real gut punch. Great job, Kelli!

Oof, three hard hitting lines here, and they tie together flawlessly. Good work
Packed- demonstrates pain can be concise and relatable.
O dear. This one begs for more! Well written Kelli 😄
Love that you chose a photo with the side of the face fading. True love. 😲 It didn't even get to the point where they would've been... Gosh. I am speechless, this is everyone's worse nightmare. Thats why this was so good 🤗❤️
