Maybe it's not appropriate to mention this, but I have family with diabetes, so this review might be a little closer to home. The main character Grant Stone it seems is an ordinary man who is quite taken with his lovely wife Lucy, but he obviously has a serious health problem he has chosen to ignore - until it is too late. This short story begins with the amputation of his "badly rotted left foot". I found the premise quite interesting, unusual and different, but in a promising way. I was drawn into the story. My heart started to beat rapidly while reading.The characters are believable and I was able to see their lives from their point of view. Except the end - I did not like the end. I will be having nightmares about the end. (I don't think my foot would do that lol). I think there is a lot of contempt in the end, but diabetes is a very serious and horrible disease, so maybe the author is right about getting the point across.
