Very interesting to do it from Ryan's p.o.v. It must have taken him a long time to come to that point, since Kelly was 52.

Oh! This is just... I'm... my heart is breaking a little more with each chapter, yet I can't stop reading.

Kelly Bernard. I. Love. This.

These are all wonderful- concise (in keeping with the 55 word format), and yet vivid and full of detail. Stanley's is (sadly) unsurprising, Creed's is correctly offbeat, Meredith's is heartbreakingly ironic, Oscar's is just sad (although I had to laugh at Angela, as Oscar would have, himself), and Kelly's is sweet- both because of Ryan's poignant regret, and the fact that you snuck some Kandy in there. I look forward to the rest, even as I dread the idea of contemplating the loss of some of my more beloved characters.

Oh, Larry! You pulled the trigger. Heh... lol...

You don't know what you've got till its gone. I'm so glad that Kelly and Andy got together, as it took way too long for Ryan to realize what he lost.

I feel like Sia's 'Breathe Me' should be playing while I read these...
I love reading these and can't wait for more!

Kelly Bernard! I love the subtle kandy reference...and I do believe that despite what he claims Ryan must have strong feelings for Kelly or he wouldn't have put up with her so long.

OMG! Can't believe that I missed the Bernard the first time around!!! I guess it just looked natural to me. I hope you don't mind that I am now madly in love with you.
Author's Response: Heh, everyone seems to miss that on the first reading. Madly in love with me? I think I can live with it. :-)

Once again, absolutely brilliant. You captured Ryan's resistance to Kelly's love so perfectly in just a few words, and you managed to make me feel sorry for him, something that rarely happens for me! Beautiful writing. This is such a wonderful fic, I can't wait to read the rest!
Author's Response: Yeah, I think Ryan is a prick but he will regret being one later on in life. Thank you for all your reviews on these!

Kandy R.I.P. So sad it took Ryan over 20 years to figure out his mistake....
Author's Response:
Yep, but at least Kelly found happiness.
Thanks for reading!

this one, and the blurb about phyllis, really got to me. ouchc, poor ryan. i'm worried that this is only going to get more and more sad... yet i can't stop reading!
Author's Response:
At the very least, the further we go, the longer lives each of the characters will have lead.
Thanks for reading!

OMG firthgal will adore you. How very poetic, Larry. I love every single one of these.
Author's Response: Poetic? Wow! Thanks again, DM!

and i just noticed the last name - bernard- as i was hitting submit! :O
Author's Response:
I had to slide that one in there to have at least something happy in this story.

aww, poor kelly and poor ryan. i like this one (odd i know), but it brings out a less... jerky... quality to ryan.
Author's Response: Yeah, I think he's gonna regret letting her go. He wouldn't have put up with her so long if he truly didn't care for her.
