This is flat out beautiful. It speaks to every what if/what could have been/what might be in life. It's also sad as hell and more painful than that if you've ever been in the narrator's shoes, and most of us have been. It's perfect as is, but any reader has to wonder....does he ever meet her in reality?
Thank you for your time, everyone. It was a fun story to write. I'd like to try a more realistically-themed story sometime, maybe when I've improved my writing chops a little. Until next time.
It's a beatiful story. I n the beginning you can actually feel his lonliness since he is in a new place and hasn't made any friends yet. Then the Sarah dream. It IS good to have dreams. And I hope that he tracks down Sarah and makes the dream a reality.
*soft sigh* What a gorgeous story! Who hasn't thought back on their past and wondered what might have been? You did a beautiful job getting across this shy, introvert's thoughts and feelings and the wonder of those first experiences (regardless of the reality). This story was like a breath of fresh air - tender and sweet. Even the language had a gentle pace and flow. Goodluck!

I've never seen your work and had no expectations positive or negative, but I loved this story! As others have said it catches the feelings I had in those years. Brings back memories that I enjoy more now, than I did then. I hope you do produce more of this quality. Thank You. Greg
