This week we’re limited to sixty words, not 100.
Dear John,
I made it back. Why didn’t you?

Hey, Centus participants: Rather than go through and comment on every entry — which I've been really lax at doing the last few weeks, even though I've read most of them — let me just say here that you're all terrific and I always enjoy perusing your tales!
I really loved your centus.
I am sure that this question has been asked many times in the last several years. Excellent take on the prompt.
Excellent !
This is the question all survivors must deal with and most painfully felt for a life time is that haunting and torturous "Why ME and not YOU ?"
very clever leaves the reader to conjour up our own story
Short but effective.
Short and to the point.
Another surprising and powerful take. I've been to the Wall in DC and have seen many different mementos left…Great Centus!
Oh wow. You got me there! I am almost speakless. Very good use of the prompt! Short, direct and really hits the heart.
Well done!
Best wishes,
Anna

I've been to that wall as well … what a powerful bit of writing …
Nicely done. I wonder what John's reply to Tom would be? A question I'm sure many asked at the wall.
Sad. I'd like to visit that wall one day.
=)
I've been to that Wall; totally believable.
Oh my what a great way to go with this short and sweet and to the point now! Cool!
Lolz! This was fun ! Though.. ti could be a serious note too .. nice.
Oh man. This little gem really touched my heart. I really loved this. Poignant, believable…touching.
Thank you.
