Question?

Question?

A Story by Toney Vega
"

My family is moving so the rest is self-explanatory I believe...

"

She kept asking if I thought she made a good decision.  As if somehow the combination of her uprooting the nitch I carved out for myself here and thrusting me head first into full-on culture shock was justifyable somehow by all of the perks she would recieve.  She told me that by moving "We" would be in a better position for the future and "We" would have more money to do more things and "We" would all be able to adjust.

 

Who was this mysterious "We" that she kept referring to?  This all-inclusive title she so graciously bestowed upon me as a method to persuade.  She was the same woman who denied the existence of "We" whenever I pleaded for justice.  Claiming that there was no place for a "We" in a mother-child relationship.

 

Don't even get me started on that word...child.

 

She kept asking if I thought she made a good decision.  I just smiled non-commitedly and nodded my approval.  I guess my sufferings for the greater good of "We" will simply go unnoticed...©

Critical Khance wants to ask if you honestly thought you'd get away with this sentence:

As if somehow the combination of her uprooting the nitch I carved out for myself here and thrusting me head first into full-on culture shock was justifyable somehow by all of the perks she would recieve.

...without a comma? :P

That aside, i thought it was very well written and you were able to convey emotion as well as a condescending tone towards the end. I felt a resigned vibe from the text, but thats probably just me.
Nice work
