A great little story, with a very effective structure, and rather beautifully written.

I love the private scene beneath the bridge, full of longing and passion, before he heads off to prostitute something very personal – his music – for money.

Really very good.

Thank you so much!

Re-worded the first sentence a bit, hope it sounds better.

I think ‘coasted’ is closer to the mark than ‘winded’ certainly.
