“A Question Of Life”
I’ve just published on my web site my latest – the 24th – short story. It’s entitled “A Question Of Life” and it’s unusual in dealing with some issues around the Holocaust.
Please read it and and let me know what you think.

Remarkable! Engrossing, artistic, and enlightening.
It should get a wide readership … especially as it sheds fresh light on the amoral situation of many who experienced similar dilemmas, and may have resolved them as did Bubba.
How would the narrative differ had the woman in front not been at death’s door – but simply vulnerable to a shove from behind: now, THAT is the HARD question.
For which I have no easy answer – and you?

Thank you for Shula’s story.
Difficult to read and I am sure, difficult to write.

I should have told you that I have read several of your stories and am always delighted with them.
You write so well. This one today was particularly well-written and so touching.

This one was indeed particularly well-crafted, Roger.
I liked very much the use of the cough motif and your build of the tension prior to Bubba’s release was well done. The scenery was engagingly set and staged, and very evocative as regards Bubba’s experiences, while the story’s central message of the choices with which we are confronted, and between which we are sometimes compelled to choose despite ourselves, was brought home powerfully.
This one will stay with me for a long time.
