This is inspiring, Harvey. I started wondering if maybe he was gone/not alive, but I couldn't be sure. And then I read the last sentence--stopped and had to read it again to catch the word "lone." Just one word, confirmed everything.
Thanks, Erin. That was my first short story written into the dark. I would paragraph it differently now, but otherwise I would change very little, if anything.
