I just wanted to say that I thought that was a beautiful one-shot, really beautiful. I loved your take on Sam's emotions - there was something sad and of 'screaming desperation which only comes out as a whisper' about the whole thing.
The bit about the mountains got to me....
Anyway I'm really glad I've read this because I've had writers' block for days and now I feel like writing again.
Great one-shot and I feel like that's an understatement.
That's lovely! The "voice" of it is so different, very quiet and introspective - makes for a very enthralling read. I really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing!
I really like the tone of this. It's all very detached and disjointed like Sam's watching his life from a distance and isn't quite sure what's going on or what he's feeling. It sort of makes us readers feel kind of like he does which is some pretty excellent literary technique.
Thank you for the thoughts and thanks for reading. Yes, I guess my idea of a teenage Sammy was a detached, introspective and depressed teenage Sammy...
