You continue to impress, @johnjgeddes. This really captured that feeling of longing the protagonist felt. The words you use was just so apt, it's as if you always know the right words to say. The imagery you scripted was just so fantastic, and the dialogue was just so crisp. You really have a way with these short stories, and people who aren't following and don't get the chance to read your work is surely missing out!

In the spirit of fellowship, I hope you can carve a few minutes to read and critique my latest post. You don't have to vote on it if you don't want to, but I'm really hoping that you would be able to leave your thoughts in the comments section :D
