Really sounds like Stephan is having a hard time in his hometown. Some cultural elements are at the base of this story, @creativeinsight. Perhaps you should consider expressing them explicitly so that readers not familiar with the cultural particularity of that town can fully understand it. Thank you very much for writing this story. We hope you will keep an eye on the community rules and review some of our writing tips.
