This is a very beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing it.

One thing though: "I escort her to the dining room, hoping she doesn’t notice the ri stubborn ketchup still crusted to its sides. " Are there words missing?

Gaa! Thanks for noticing that. I originally had it worded differently, but on second thought changed the sentence structure. That must have been a remnant of the old sentence.

I'm glad you liked the story. Thanks for reading it and for catching my typo! :)

:D Thank you! I'm glad you liked it and were able to finish it--I didn't mean for it to get this long but after I was done I couldn't decide on anything to cut.

BTW, just in case you didn't see my other comment yet, excellent job on your entry this week again. I always love your take on the topics.

this was really great. it's so interesting what you did with the prompt. i like how you made your character so likable but also conflicted. he is clearly making a choice in almost every things he says or does in his brother's presence. all in all, it was a very moving read.
