Wow. I needed this today. What a great story! Can you tell me what books where quoted from? I am so new to writing and literature, that I did not recognize the books Kyle was reading from or had mentioned. I can see this story playing out in my mind. You have such great heartache adding to the character. Who was your inspiration for the story? I can feel New York around me in your words. I have never been there and I plan to go someday but in this story I was there. Kyle you nailed it. Totally blown away. Nice job. Your emotions came through so well. I can feel your walk through of the pain but the love of wanting to build the memories of just wanting to see the world abd be bitter in the end. This story has inspired me to want to achieve greatness in storytelling. Tom you are a master at drama. I can see this as a play. I can relate to the his disability and anger. He did find a new way to see. His heart guided him to his new vision of what is most important in his life. Loosing sight on the world that is around can lead us all into forgetting what we value and hold sacred.

Stay the Course .
