This was a surprisingly beautiful short story. In the beginning it seems like every other sad family story, but if you continue reading you’ll realize that is definitely not the case. The traditional start easily fades into a lovely story that tells about the difficulty of dealing with a broken family and teaches the beauty of forgiveness.

Told through the eyes of a twelve year old girl who experiences her parent’s divorce, Watching the Football is made up of real moments that one can easily picture happening. The air of fiction isn’t smothering this piece; it’s extremely easy to believe that the little girl, Sky, actually went through everything described in this. Such veracity makes this already sensational piece even better.

Heartbreaking in the beginning but warm and touching as you read on, Watching the Football is a wonderful short piece. It’s a sweet read that is guaranteed to bring the feeling of tears and small smiles. It won’t take you long to see why it was tied for first place in Mibba’s New Beginnings writing contest. Short and a sweet, this is a piece you’ll be glad you took the time to read.
