First rate story Kilb. I

Posted on Thu, 26 Apr 2018

First rate story Kilb. I liked the way you use a few details to convey Robert's memories of the marriage and the dynamics of the new relationships, and create an underlying tension with the lump in his stomach that couldn't realistically be...

It rings so true

Excellent
