I like the way this story is unfolding-the realization of how he feels and what he should do about it dawning on Ennis slowly. Using the premise of Groundhog Day is a clever device for getting Ennis there. Glad you tackled it. I look forward to your updates.

''he took out the knife, cut three deep grooves into the horse's side''

I wonder how many grooves till Ennis get's it right with Jack. But I'm hopeful.
It's clear that Ennis can't sudenly change.

Thank you!

Those grooves are the equivalent of the broken pencil in Groundhog Day. Ennis' change will be painfully slow. If I devoted one chapter to each day he repeats until he gets it right this fic would go on for months!

Ehmm, which broken pencil? (I can imegine is from the movie, you don't have to answer! ;-)

I confess I didn't see the movie and I assumed it is like for your other fic: also people who didn't read the book/see the movie will be able to enjoy it. In fact I can certify this: I'm already enjoying it a lot!

Ciao

PS: Given the quality of your writing I wouldn't mind if your fic would go on for months...

I love this story too! I really do. I just feel like Ennis's baby steps will turn into real strides. Yay!

Poor Jack, left on his knees by his truck. :(

And another great photo!

The photo of that man inspired half the plot for this story. In the original he is standing next to his cousin. Now don't go looking for that picture! (That goes for anyone else reading this comment.)
