Oh, that was an uplifting ending! I wasn't sure at all where that was going to go. I like the contrast between Rick and Jonathan.

Thanks very much for reading my story, @shanibeer, and for your thoughtful comment. I’m glad you enjoyed the ending. I suppose it could have gone several different ways!
Yes, I was interested in the tone of the story. I'm trying to think how to describe it. It sounded, in a way, innocent? I don't know. Whatever it was, it meant that as you were reading it, you weren't quite sure what kind of story it was going to turn out to be. I liked the hints, too, the foreshadowing of the ending.
I try to add some complexity to stories, even when they are short flash fiction pieces. I'll write about it in this week's writing tip. :-)
