Response to Weekend Writing Prompt #144 located on the PWE Community Blog at https://pwecommunity.com/post/wwp144. As Long As It Takes, a short story by Wendi S. Harrington. When tragedy strikes, Geraldine “Dinny” Malone leaves everything behind to sit beside her orphaned nephew’s hospital bed. For sixteen days, she prays—morning, noon, and night—believing that God still hears. Set in the late 1970s, As Long As It Takes is a moving Apostolic short story of loss, intercession, and unshakable love. Through heartbreak, flashbacks, and whispered prayers, Dinny clings to her faith for a miracle. A tender story for those who know the power of prayer—and what it means to keep believing, no matter how long it takes.

Twelve-year-old Marcy Gibson and her mother are on the run from a past filled with trauma, loss, and fear.
