“I know it's been a while since Christmas, but this story still makes sense!! This may be a one, but it managed to convey so much emotion in just a few lines, that it's hard to believe it's so good!! Totally coherent story, with an engaging and contagious plot, full of meaning!! This is one of those stories that really warms the heart!! I loved being able to read this story and I wish I could read many more where this one came from... XoXo”

Before I even spoke or walked, my bright future was already planned. everyone was on me. Some eager for me to fail the first hurdle, others just curious if I would make it as far as Robert Queen.

Part of me said it was foolish, that I should get up from this bench and go home to face my problems like the man who I was, that this girl, who infected me with her easy smile and happy look, was just a nutcase with nothing more useful to do than annoy me and the other part... That part found itself responding, first with the outline of a smile that was the required payment and then with the words I never thought would ever leave my lips..."
