P.s. I just finished reading your story. I'm not a fan of action / adventure, but I did like the way you told the story of the man finding and following his true calling.
Hey man, if I can improve my writing a little bit at a time, learning how to write in one tense is probably a good start. 8-) Love how you used tense in three different senses.
I remembered you saying that last time about action / adventure. I get a little too excited at the moment when I get a whale up-vote for quality work. With this in mind and on account of your time probably being very valuable to you, when I post one of these stories, I know you may not read it; however, some days you might. 8-)

Affirmative.
I'm really only go to share the one's I think you will actually want to take the time to read. I don't always post quality material in my feed. Sometimes shit is the best I have on a particular day or week. haha. Work in progress. 8-)
