Closing the Barn Door

   (3 reviews)
Genres: General Fiction,
Sub-genres: Coming of Age

There’s an old adage that states, “It’s too late to close the barn door after the horses have gotten out.” Sixteen-year-old Neil Michaels learns this lesson on a summer afternoon when he joins his best friend on a biking adventure to the old barn on Engle Mill Road. A secret door opens, and his life will never be the same.

This was the first of Ronyx's stories I had ever read. It's a story about good versus evil. While evil lands a couple hits over the course of the story, good finally triumphs. Teenage angst and struggles abound to keep one interested all the way through.

As with any good story, one begins to feel he knows the characters personally. They are written well and everything about them is believable.

I've used this phrase in a review before, recently. What are you waiting for? Get off your ass and read this story.

You won't regret it.

Now, leave me alone so I can read some more of Ronyx's stuff.

5 stars ...Why? Because it was written by Ronyx of course do you need any other reason? On a more serious note  this story will still be relevant 50 years from now the topic of abuse and bullying and outing will probably still exist here's hoping not. Schools could use this story as a teaching tool.Although the scene between Neil and Owen may have to be adjusted LOL.
