This story felt a little rushed, and an edit would have gone a long way to securing a higher level of curation. There was also some author intrusion which felt out of place and broke the rhythm of the story. It is usually advisable to refrain from this :-) Otherwise, it was a sweet story of a young man's healing from his tragic past. Thank you for writing in The Ink Well, @restcity. We look forward to your next piece.
