Absolutely spell binding and I hope one day to carry on reading x
I was concerned there for a minute you were going to go pedo on us, what with those girls being 8. However, I am glad it never came to that.
It should win on the grounds of positivity. Terrific detail, just the right pacing.
help but feel like something was missing when I finished it. I actually double-checked to make sure there wasn't another page.
Some stories can end with a lack of explanation as any explanation would be redundant, but some need enough the reader doesn't walk away muttering, 'I don't quite understand. Something is missing.' This story is one of the latter.
It might only be another sentence or two, or it might take another page, but a bit more interaction between the old Jim and young Jim might have tightened up the ending.
I can't tell you precisely what it needs because, {muttering}, 'I don't quite understand...', {as I turn and walk away}.
I wish it had a part two. Some of Betty's comments foreshadowed more to the story so the ending felt more like a cliffhanger.
Felt this was half a story. Good bones...what happened to the girls? What happens to him after he gets the records? So many unanswered plot points
