I don't think I've ever read anything by Leaside. Perhaps it's time to order up a new book! Misha - thanks for the feedback on the tense. I have another longer story that I've been working on forever that I initially wrote in present tense and ended up deciding it didn't fit. It's interesting how certain narratives lend themselves differently to that sort of thing. Victoria – thanks for the comments! I don’t think I’ve ever read anything by Leaside.

Misha – thanks for the feedback on the tense. I have another longer story that I’ve been working on forever that I initially wrote in present tense and ended up deciding it didn’t fit. It’s interesting how certain narratives lend themselves differently to that sort of thing.

At first I found it surprising, but after I read it again I found myself warming to it. Then I read it again and found that I wouldn't prefer it any other way.

The tone and pace feel almost staccato, but what's not being said feels steady and poignant - very well done. I think you've really got something here! It reminds me a bit of Leacock's Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town. Brava!
