God, I loved this story. The style is so perfect and you manage to twist the affectations into making it more real. It is also heartbreaking, I must admit, and I wibbled for a few moments over the ending.
I liked the choice of using a narrator who has a sense of self, because I think that tends to be underused and you manage it beautifully. I'm so impressed.
You also made me laugh!
I can’t tell you how his friends spoke to him, for he had none.
This is because he was surrounded by morons.
That line was so Rodney. Great work, really fantastic.
