Definitely an interesting story. It's good to see the Cohens behind Ryan. I keep wondering who did start the fire.

Thank you for commenting. I didn't really intend for this to be "The Atwood Luck", but I guess I can live with that.

Thank you. I really wanted the Cohens to be completely behind Ryan in this story.

The Atwood luck strikes again...

I like that the Cohens don't even doubt Ryan's innocence, and that Sandy's trying to reassure him (as much as possible, considering the circumstances).

Thank you. It was important to me to have the Cohens be 100% behind Ryan in this story.

Very nice story! I love how everything is so well planned out and how the Sandy's behind:)

It has to be said, no matter how obvious: poor Ryan. The kid cannot catch a break. This literally epitomizes the vicious cycle that defines his life. He's perceived as a negative stereotype due to one misconstrued event which is then blown out of proportion and communicated and embellished ad nauseum. That means he's misjudged and mislabeled. Suddenly, the burden is on him to prove everyone wrong, despite the fact that he was the victim of rumor, animosity and overactive, mean-spirited imaginations. The kid is struggling to stay afloat, never mind find his footing, and it seems that there's a veritable conspiracy to keep him off-balance, isolated, alienated and a target ( ... )

Thanks. I try to keep Sandy (and everyone) in character. I'm glad that you think I did. Don't worry, the Cohens are 100% behind Ryan this time.

You're succeeding with the characterization very nicely.

As for Ryan, at least he's got that in his favor!
