...oh my God. I honestly don't know what to say here. I really don't. This is... just... oh God, wow, I don't think I've been this flabbergasted by a story in a long, long time. And that's a very good thing. And man, I cried. I've never had a story actually force tears on me, but this one did and I find that amazing.
A question. Has this had influence from the story "Flowers for Algernon"? It has such a similar style that it was one of the first thing that struck me. If so, kudos for that. And if not, kudos for your originality either way. *claps*
Wow. Poor Michael. Sounds like he went through a lot of painful stuff. And I find it so sweet, yet so sad how Blake's death was what set Michael's own off. I feel so sorry for Mr. and Mrs. Ours, losing both of their children within such a short time span.
I... suppose I really don't have much else to say. I just want you to know, you've got some talent, man, and I'm looking forward to seeing other stories from you. Please, don't be a stranger 'round these parts. :p
