Dear Anita,
I didn’t see an email address so didn’t know how to reach you except through the comments section. Many years ago I read this story you wrote, it was about 2 people growing up together as friends and the end had an unexpected twist. Do you remember the story? It has a transgender angle. I loved how you wrote it. Could you please direct me to the link. It was so well written, one of your best work in my opinion.
Roshni, I’m so surprised that you’ve been reading me for so long. Thank you! Your comment certainly made my day! The link is long gone, but I did have a copy of the story, which I’ve put up. I hope that’s the one.
