Topic: REMEMBER (10/19/17)
The cacophony of voices added to the euphoria I was feeling elevating with each passing second. I was seated in the second row. I had an awesome view of the stage. This was going to be a long night; I could hardly believe I was here. I retraced my steps in my mind as I waited for the spectacular event to commence.

I was approached by reporters vying for my attention. Me? They actually wanted to interview me? I’m not quite sure what I said, to any of them. But I did manage to respond appropriately…And, seemingly without any effort whatsoever.

I looked around as my husband and I sat in our plush velour seats. I could hardly believe or comprehend this enormous accomplishment of mine. I had given birth to an idea that began as an act of love. It was an overwhelming success—almost overnight—as evidenced by the category I was in. No one was more surprised than me.

The sea of people drowned me in anxiety. The individuals in attendance were replete with magnificence and their reputation preceded them all. The array of pastel gowns seemed to glissade in the distance. It was as if an artist were painting the scene on a huge canvas bringing it to life before my very eyes.

This truly is a night I never would have imagined in my wildest dreams. No…never. My husband’s voice intruded into my reverie of doubt and disbelief.

“Are you okay? You’re shaking.”

I smiled at my husband robotically before answering. “Yes—I guess so—I will be.”

“Aw- baby. You always know the right thing to say…I love you too.”

The lights dimmed when the orchestra began to play and the host of the biggest event of the year came out onto the stage.

Yes, it was the biggest night of my life, one in which I'd always remember, one in which I'd always embrace.

Sweet Lord, what a night...

This story had me wanting to find out what this big event was all about. But it left me hanging with a much bigger word count yet to be utilized.

“Are you okay? You’re shaking.”
I could almost see your MC shaking. It was that real! The cliff hanger ending has readers thinking...

I could feel the suspense building throughout the piece, but the ending seemed anti-climatic to me. I just needed some clue about what the biggest night of her life was all about.
