It is Sunday morning. Liam sits alone in his room, at the top of the building, and hides himself away. The world outside has suddenly become a dangerous place and he must stay away from it, and he must also remember that his name is now Leo.

This story follows Liam through one fateful Sunday and, through flashbacks, tells the story of how he came to be there.

Today I made it to Chapter 31of this astonishing work of writing. It has been a challenge to continue on reading because you have described a situation so completely and at times so very discomforting. 

Bloody brilliant! I know and trust that there are many who live the life or similar of Liam and I despair for their opportunity to affect change for themselves. You have provided the inner thoughts of a person so caught in circumstance of cause and effect and yet a glimmerance of a possible change of that circumstance. I have been very moved to the point of wanting to put the story down and not continue reading and at the same time glad that I have done so.

Thank you for such wonderful feedback, you make me blush.

There is more to this story. I have a third act to it planned out and I am currently writing it.
