It was well written. But the question that arises is simply "Why"? You give no indication that this is the start of a longer story. Based on that assumption (which of course leads us to making an ass out of you and I) I will simply ask why you wrote and posted this particular story on this particular website? It seems out of place. Just a thought. Perhaps next time something salacious in the LW section?
Sylvia gives birth to her second child. I hope Valerie would come back to the tea shop, at the usual time, and catch up with Harry. It would be nice to have them continue their friendship and share part of their lives. Actually, I think male-female relationships that are not sexual are also interesting and rewarding, as a non-romantic couple share different, but still meaningful dynamics, than a romantic couple.
Thanks for sharing this very thoughtful read I really enjoyed it .
..... is all he has, to fall back upon.
Although a bit sad & gloomy , I really enjoyed it. The mystery & the dynamics of relationships is always fascinating. Especially so, in our modern world.
Blood relations that are more distant than strangers & strangers who in a few moments bind us for eternity.
However, I agree, a sequel with a happy ending would be worth the read. In fact, being a family friend of Valerie 's would be a perfect ending to his lonely existence.
After all it's a fantasy, Spencerfiction. :-)
A family of 5 stars, to give you company.
You had me in tears. I related myself to Harry's position in life and his loss of a friend. This Anonymous commenter who keeps running down your stories is just an asshole American Redneck who usually reads comic books. He has no real iterary skill so he just runs down good authors like you.
The author did a great job of describing a small bit of the human condition. Yes, there's no point to the story, other than to share how it's possible to adapt to a situation that appears hopeless.
A story that earns fives from those with a soul and ones from those without.
