Very sensitive. I would like to see you make this longer. You have great potential. I voted for you and gave you a star. God Bless

Thank you. Which part(s) confused you?

very good. part of it confused me tho.

...for the stars, people and to Marion for your very fair comment. I understand what you're saying. I can be vague in my writing, I certainly accept that. In preferring not to hand everything to the reader on a plate, I do tend to find what I want to convey is sometimes passed over due to excessive use of symbolism or (as is probably the case here) being too subtle. The end is meant to suggest there is no hope for Clara's love ever being requited as it's only when she sees Saul look at the boy in the photo she realises he is gay. Similarly he can never have the love which has been lost to him, nor can her father. I rarely write happy endings. :)

I've had other writers' opinions on this story and they didn't find it a problem understanding this, but that could be because they're used to my style, so it's good to get feedback from someone new. Thanks again.

I really liked this story. It has great sensitivity and depth of feeling only I felt a little let down at the end because I was not sure just what that scene was all about. The dark haired boy in the photo was not clearly explained except in a vague way and the girl's hopes for her tutor was not a finished aspect of this tale. I guess this story begged to go on writing. What do you think?

Thank you for participating in our short story writing contest "Rain Stories".
