Well written. Made me think of a passage in Brideshead Revisited, you know when Sebastian goes off on his rowdy journey and they chase him, trying to save him from himself. Just bits of the same feel to it, which coming from me is a compliment, as I adore the Brideshead saga..
That may be, but deserved. When I see a balance or structure in the writing, suggesting thought shaping the work, it’s a pleasure to read and that should be pointed out, as praise for a writer is not too common, and is worth so much, I know it from that one subscriber who always likes my stories and poems. It doesn’t cost anything to say I like it so I do. I would even suggest Evelyn Waugh might appreciate the story if ever he would have stumbled across it, as he clearly had good taste as regards literature.

That's indeed high praise ! Being compared to a classic like Evelyn Waugh.

I'd like to hope so) thank you. I cannot say that my prose is noticed here, so that means much to me.
You’re welcome, and keep at it. Sooner or later it will be as you hope, just don’t stop believing in yourself, ever!
