All Comments on 'After Edward'

What a nice, lovely story. I'm really enjoying it and hope that you continue with another chapter. It's well-written and emotionally descriptive. So nice. Please continue.

This is a lovely story. It moved me a lot and I loved how he learned to read the bear's expressions. I felt so much for him as he struggled with his loss and the feelings of guilt about moving on. And I really like how it wasn't sexual. It was a lovely way for him to start feeling his way back to living. Of course, I'm rooting for Leander.

but just avoids falling in, because of the quality of the writing. I enjoyed it, especially the strong sense of locale, having been to England many times, and eaten Tesco meals :-). Will there be more? Best, Ken

This was just a sweet lovely story. I absolutely loved the hint of the supernatural in it, with the bear and all.

Hmm, wonder how he's gonna explain it to Leander if their relationship progresses.

What a perfect way to show how someone is capable of moving on after losing a loved one. I love how "Teddy" was able to facilitate the closure. Great story.

any more to this story.?

Someone should finish this story

I like this as a nice short dive into the grief of a man that lost the love of his life. I appreciate the bear as a clear metaphor for his own feelings of needing to push beyond the grief and begin living again. Him basically convincing himself via the bear, using it as a stand in for how Edward would have reacted to his actions without realizing it was a nice touch. Having him remark that Edward would have laughed at the subway incident and having the bear just before and not too long after was a masterful way of getting the reader into that mindset. Having him attach himself to the ghost of his lover via an old childhood bear was also great at giving us a glimpse into how much he truly loved Edward. The would crushing pain, and the movement into the world again expressed in a concise, less than 2 full pages of work? Excellent. I truly cant say enough good things about the emotion behind the story.
