Router works! :D

I like this, you described Wexford really well. Not the town as a place, but the atmosphere. I don't see many early mornings, but I do know how they are. :( So yeah, nice writing, very... evocative. :o The only thing is, you've switched tenses a bit, in places. :( I notice these things. :(

You want tense? Go stand between a man with a gun, and the man he's pointing it at!!!

Tenses are for English students :(

It was very spur of the moment, and rushed, so yeah :( Didn't proof read :D
