I like this. Well done. :)

Well... where to begin? I think you started off on the right foot, I think I understand where you were coming from in this story; the pieces are there, the depth, the meaning, but perhaps less emotion than one would hope (I don't really feel the connection). I think maybe a little more organisation (such as coherence in the first paragraph), and perhaps bulking each capture of time with small events to exemplify the the growth between the 3 (and 4) of them would have really put a kick in this piece. It's a little rough around the edges in my opinion, but it has a lot of good thought, and I like your take on Georg's perspective. Georg is certainly a unique individual. Anyhow, good shot mate.

Author's Response: Thanks for all the feedback. I'll see if I can remeber it in case I write a story like this one in the future. :)
