I always felt a little sadness for those who died young, before they had a chance to really live.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this story with us, Gene. I enjoyed it very much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160021015821033799.post-64518945067128234202014-03-25T10:17:12.028-04:002014-03-25T10:17:12.028-04:00Gene, I appreciated the quality of your writing.

Somehow in the copy and paste procedure, the format went screwy on me. It looked fine in preview. <br />Thank you all for your comments. Gene is working on a manuscript for a book we hope to get ready for publication. He has written many, many short stories and I hope to share more of his work online.

The transition to the first person narrative is a little abrupt as it is. I hope you continue to write and to publish.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160021015821033799.post-57016517312819055872014-03-24T08:43:11.296-04:002014-03-24T08:43:11.296-04:00I enjoyed reading this, too.
