Absolutely amazing! I cried!

Is it true, though? That he found the pills like that?

Author's Response:

Hi. :) Thank you so much for reading and replying! 

I'm really not sure if it's true or not. It's just an idea that I've always had about how their relationship may have started to go downhill, so I wrote this based on that theory. I have heard rumors in the past about her not wanting to have kids with him or not being ready to have kids with him when he wanted them, but I don't know if there's any truth to that. 

I'm so touched that you enjoyed the story. It really means a lot. Thanks again!

You're welcome. You deserve it! :)

The ending is truly a surprise which makes your story even greater and very realistic. Because in my opinion, Michael is not a saint. I am very glad that you kept it that way. It shows that Michael is only a human. If Lisa is a liar, then Michael is a cheater (and he had had 'things' with Debbie even before he found out about these bills).

To me, the last part is like a sweet revenge, but it was even scarier than that. I think because it also showed that beside being a wonderful man and a nice husband, Michael could be considered as a cold and ruthless person. I feel like this is the way he thinks in his head: If you cannot do it, there are others can. English is not my first language so I cannot find enough words to describe what I think and how I feel. I am not even sure if I chose right words :)). But yeah, that's how I feel about the ending.

In my opinion, 'Void' is not dark. It's realistic and emotional :).

I am looking forward to reading more your work :).

P/S: I have this question, can you help me out? :) If Michael had received 'the news' four weeks ago, then he must have found out that there was nothing wrong with him. So why did he not have any doubt about Lisa? Why did he still think it was his fault? Thank you.

Author's Response:

I have to agree with you about Michael not being a saint. He is flawed in just about everything that I've written about him. I like it that way. It does make the stories more realistic and makes it more fun for me as a writer to explore his "personal demons." I couldn't imagine writing about the sweet, innocent Michael that he portrayed to the media a lot of times because I believe him to be much more complex than that. He makes for the perfect protagonist (and sometimes, the antagonist). :)

 

I would have never guessed English is not your first language. You described what you meant perfectly. I understand and completely agree about the "if you cannot do it, there are others who can." I believe that philosophy probably applied to Michael in many aspects of his life--personal, professional, etc.

 

I'm happy that the story was so realistic to you. That was my goal! I actually wrote this prior to Lisa Marie's interview with Oprah a few years ago and I was surprised to see some similarities between this story and what Lisa said in the interview. 

 

I'll try to post another story soon. Most of my old stuff has to be rewritten. I was much younger when I wrote it, and it shows. :)

 

To answer your question at the end: That was a mistake on my part because now that you've mentioned it, I realize that receiving the news 4 weeks prior would have meant that he knew nothing was wrong on his end. Shhhh, don't tell anyone. :) I'll probably go back and edit that. Thanks for mentioning it!
