Oh wow. I had high expectations for this after reading your previous Music and Words entry, and this completely lived up to those expectations. It was such an interesting concept to take, and you executed it really well- you went into such depth with your characters, it was very insightful.
I loved the fact that nothing bad happened to him for Frank to realise what he wanted- most stories would have been different in that sense. Both Frank and Gerard’s characters were very real and deep, and I was honestly just so touched by the whole story. There was something very moving and profound about it which I can’t quite put my finger on.
Oh, and that last line? That was perfect. Thank you so much for submitting a story again- it’s always such a joy to read your work. I’m sorry it’s taken so long to read and review this; I’ve been very busy with exams at the moment, but it’s still no excuse. I really hope you’ll try and do the next entry, and thanks for this, it’s really made me think a whole lot.

Oh wow, thank you :') I'm so glad you liked it xD I wrote the whole thing pretty quickly, and to be honest the whole time it felt like my thoughts were all over the place and it was a race to get them down so I'm really glad it actually came out coherent :')
We've all been busy bees with work and exams and all that good shit, so no worries about the time :P I'll definitely try and keep doing the challenge :D
