A painting in words. Simply gorgeous.

Of course you have my vote!!

Best of Luck.
This is a good piece of work.

An interesting read, which I enjoyed immensely. You have a way with words and keeping the reader hooked. Great ending.

As ever, a masterful, clever read from a true wordsmith. Loved it, voting for it. And hoping, along with several others here, that more will follow.

You have my heart & vote.

I enjoy the way you wield your words like a paintbrush to paint the scenes. One can easily become immersed and forget they are reading. Wonderful!

Patrick,

True creative genius. I look forward to reading more...

Exceptional writing!

As usual, you have a mastery of the descriptive process. Beautifully written.

Flat out - just superb. Totally loved this Patrick. What a great read! Thanks Big Time:)

This little story is amazing and could be turned into a longer novel. So many questions to be answered. I do hope there will be a part two to it. Well done again.
