Honestly, as an avid reader of both gay fictional novels and gayauthors as well as other sites. I am at a loss when it comes to your story yes it is very well written and I get where you are attempting to take it but it is taking a bit long to get there. I realize the entire plot is based on this kid being a runaway but how is it connected and is it relevant to the overall outcome of the story. I find that it is a bit repeticious and I skip ahead waiting for something new to happen. rather than walk, sleep and almost get caught, ask for work, then have to leave town again. you are a good writer but sometimes short and sweet are better than a million words to say what you could say in a few sentences.
