The Answer

I usually don't read shorter pieces, but I enjoyed your other work and decided to give this one a chance. I am so glad I did. This story tugged at my heart, leaving me wanting the main characters to figure out their truths. I very well done story, and one I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting something short and almost bittersweet in its telling.

This is a fantastic story from Wayne and unusual that is a short story.

It is a story that will pull at your heart strings as we follow Shawn through 20 years of his life, treating it a bit like an amusement ride. Men come and go over the years, he never finds one to make him happy. His best friend Ian, whilst slight judgemental just watches on.

A fantastic story from Wayne that I highly recommend.

Let's just say...it's definitely "Wayne's World"!! Amazing short story that hit all the right spots and showcased his excellent talents...and also the bonus of sharing a beautiful poem!!! Both were brilliantly done, thanks to you both!💯

Wow....  SO MUCH life (and love) experience compressed in a short format!  Well executed and engaging.

This short story manages to pack quite the powerful punch over the arc of our two protagonists' lives. This is a terrific read!!!

I finished this story feeling a good few things. It's a testament to how invested you become in the wellbeing of these characters. Great foreshadowing, and definitely a story you'd want to read more than once 

Twenty years of life packed into 6,000 words might seem to be rushing it. But the opposite is true and the story reads at a leisurely pace.  A very nice story of how having sex isn’t the most important thing, making love is.  
 

An excellent read. 

The Answer is a tale well told. Thinking back, how many Shawns have we known? Me? A few, actually, but none so fortunate as to have someone awaiting their awakening. Readers wanting a special treat will also enjoy the poem at the end, which inspired the story.
