Sunny

Days of Youth - part 3, Kid


at Ponnyexpressen

Kim R
"Kid" is one of Sunny's stories in her "Days of Youth" series. I was particulary drawn into this story because not only did it give us a background for Kid, but also his brother, Jed. Through an incident in Kid's childhood, we see a very close bond between them, a connection that was still evident in later years, but also see the beginnings of the very different paths they will take. The story is a great glimpse inside both characters.

Very touching story. Lori accomplishes much feeling and emotion in few words. I could read this story over and over again and never get tired of it.
