HELLO ! :D First of all, let me say how thrilled I am that one of my fics inspired you to write something. Secondly, I enjoyed this a lot. There is something very ... exhibitionist and eager and bitter about the way Tom speaks in this fic, which is how I pictured him at that moment in his life. The ending is very much in character.
Last, but not the least, your prose is quite lucid.

Well done, Kaylee! I'm honoured. :)

Author's Response: You have just made my day!!! I wasn't sure this fic would get through, but I was pleasantly surprised when it did! I'm glad you got to be the first to review!!! I truly meant it when I said your story, The Receding, inspired me. I read it and thought, "Wow, what a great story! Now I need to kill Tom sr off for her!" *chuckles* you are a great inspiration to me. I hope I get to continue to read your writing, and also hope that I keep getting inspired to write! ~Kaylee
