Cute and very different than the other entries. It is over the top, but the over the top part is in the background. The foreground is filled with character, which is how it should be. Nice piece. Oh and welcome to Ficly- cheers!
Such an odd little story, I thought, but it had such a fun, petulant attitude about it. Lots of possibilities and an intriguing protagonist around whom there remain a lot of questions.
This was a fun read. I truly enjoyed the angst of it. He doesn’t quite fit in anywhere, but he has made a connection…or at least wants to. The red roses are a nice touch. Well done!
