If i can just quote this [i thought] extremely touching piece... It's very moving indeed where fictional Young Axl meets fictional Stephen. I appreciate whereby the ending ends awkwardly i think that is high reality in many general sitations. Life is like that , it is not always a bed of fine roses is it? i think your writing is so close to the bone karice , that the characters seem so alive.
I'm not sure what else to add ...but i will add more thoughts a little later. thank you for your high emotional creativity. I need to absorb this.
