The choice to be made. The books to be opened and read.

The symmetry of my brother's choice had indeed numbing.

Truth - our truth - had been waiting, in the library.

:) oh yes

Well, you are to my eyes writing poetry.. And a good sort too.. Catching half forgotten memories as if setting them in stone for a fleeting moment, frozen in time to let us see their perfection.. Write.. Cheers Yoron

All the King's Men

I liked the story, which was like reading All the King's Men in condensed version. I also think investing another hour on the ending would be time well spent.

Great

Like the two previous commentators, this otherwise thoughtful story seems unfinished.

It does feel unfinished though. Maybe it's because I'm a sucker for happy endings.

Huh?

OK, call me dumb, but exactly how did this end? Is he staying? Going? Is she staying? Going with him? Was it left to the reader to decide? Nicely written prose, thoughtful, almost lyrical. I like the way you recalled old memories and feelings out of the haze of time and held them up to current light, but I'm a little lost by all the self-reflection and symbolism. I would have liked a definitive ending. Just me, maybe. Very good story, still.
