Windows (A Short Story) by Sonja Tanette Smith

On the surface, Xylyn Montgomery's life is beautiful — she's married to her high school love, living well, and building a life many would envy. But behind closed doors, there’s a quiet ache she can’t explain.

When an unexpected invitation leads her into a moment she never saw coming, Xylyn is confronted with truths long buried — words spoken in pain, wounds left unhealed, and a past that refuses to stay hidden.

And as the weight of what was left unsaid begins to surface, Xylyn must face the one thing she’s avoided for years: the power of her own words…and the life they may have altered forever.

In a story where faith, forgiveness, and divine timing collide, Windows reminds us that healing often begins where truth is finally spoken.

“This didn’t just touch my heart… it checked my spirit.”

I’ve read stories about infertility before, but this one felt different. It wasn’t just about the struggle, it was about what’s happening beneath it.

The part that stayed with me was how much our words, our beliefs, and even things we’ve agreed with in pain can shape our reality in ways we don’t always recognize.

That hit me.

Because it made me reflect on things I’ve said… things I’ve accepted… without realizing the weight behind them.

This story wasn’t loud or dramatic. It was quiet, but powerful in a way that made me pause more than once.

I didn’t just read it. I sat with it. — J. Clayton

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I had to stop reading for a second… just to process.”

This felt less like a story and more like a mirror.

What stood out to me was the spiritual layer...the idea that some of the things we’re dealing with aren’t just physical or emotional, but deeper than that.

There were moments that made me uncomfortable in a necessary way. Not because they were heavy… but because they were true.

It made me think about how healing doesn’t always start with what we can see. It starts with what we’re willing to confront.

This one stayed with me long after I finished. — N. Keith
