Your story poses an interesting moral dilemma. Larry is certainly thrust into the middle ground where either choice made will leave one side hurt.
The narration however needs some improvement. I suggest you mind the following
your use of tenses (present, present continuous, and past...). For example [(a. present)..life has been difficult for him...((b. past)...She came across him by the ...)].
Also mind the spelling and punctuation. This may seem trivial, but they can inconvenience the reading of an otherwise good story
Cheers my friend.
Thanks for the observation. Noted.
We should not die in silence. Let us learn to voice it out regardless of what the outcome maybe. I hope Larry takes the best decision.
I get the moral of the story. I would work a bit more on the norder in which you present things and names. For example you should the characters names’ Larry and Sophie at the beginning, rather than half way through the story. That makes it confusing.
Mentioning the names of the characters half way in the story was intentional.
