Time is the cruelest thing...
We all live with regrets. It's inevitable. We can never turn back the clock and we can never choose to take another path hoping it may lead us somewhere better. It's the inevitability of reaching a dead end that makes life frustrating. You cannot help wondering 'what if?' The trouble is 'what if' thinking is pointless. You're stuck where you are and you have decide what next? Fiction can triumph where sometimes life has not.
