A page turning story that leaves the reader pondering: What does it truly mean to be human?- Ed Bonilla- Author of 5 Clones and 2020's first place winner of the Kelly J. Abbott Short Story ContestFriendship, like love and hate, cannot have just one standard definition; instead, it has as many definitions as there are people in the world. And I was pleased to read Gary Petras' definition of friendship exhibited in his wonderfully creative, fun and exciting story about the journey undertaken by Moe, a chimp, and Bazil, an elephant, to Memories End, all while encountering a number of obstacles along the way. So, if you are a fan of buddy stories that will keep you engaged in the fate of the characters and cheering for them throughout, then you will definitely enjoy Memories End.- Jonathan R.
