Good sense of character voice. I usually get so entangled in deciphering written dialects that I pay no attention to the narrative, but you’ve handled it such that it blends with the experience rather than detracting from it.
My only complaint is that the third sentence is somewhat redundant. You spent time enough on the location of his origin in your first entry. I don’t feel it needs to be stated again, unless you are specifically intending for the speaker to sound absentmindedly repetitious.
Other than that, good show.

@memento: In the Ficly world, I find that there’s often a fine balance between using language economically and providing enough information to allow a single story to stand on its own. I understand your comment but I’m going to allow the text to stand. The narrator is recalling events from memory. If it helps to think of him as an old man, then perhaps he could be forgiven for repeating himself.
