I wish there was a continuation to this. But even as a stand-alone piece, it's truly amazing. You've squeezed so much emotion and events into less than a thousand words, and put them into the thoughts of one man, yet you still managed to paint an extremely detailed description of every reason why Mikey was there.

I think that I'm gonna keep this as a stand-alone, I don't really know how to carry it on, but I'm super glad that you think it's alright! I was a little worried about it's shortness, so it's relieving to know that you think it's got some emotion in it.
Thank you very much for taking the time to review! :)
