Juvenile Detention has areas in it which prevent it being published here. Setting those aside, the tale has great moral merit, though there is the need to set disbelief aside at many times. It is no worse for that, it's a story!

I suspect it started out as a desire to write friction, but it turned into a story full of plot that overtook the author in the best possible way. It's not yet finished, but seems to be closing in on the end. Part of me regrets that and wants more, part says that a good finish can be the making of a tale.

Hi Timmy,

I just wanted to thank you for mentioning my story despite it not fitting the requirements for inclusion on your site. A member of another site where my story is featured told me about it and gave me the link to your kind comment. I also appreciate your including the link to where others can find my story.

I hope sometime in the future to write one that you will find of an acceptable standard and with the correct requirements to suit your site.

All the best

Rick

Give it a go. It's always worth risking success!
