Crickets...
wow.

Once again, you are an amazing writer.

Swifty..I..oh.
Wow.

I'd heard the whole cricket symbol before, but had totally forgotten it.
Very, very nice to incorporate it into Newsies...different. And of course that's always good. ;D
Then Swifty's turning point...thinking of what he's lost and turning, as it were, on the cricket. Beautiful...in an angsty, torturous way, but...life isn't always sunshine and flowers now is it. lol!
Anyway...I liked it, great job!

Neri!

Jeeze, all your stories strike me as brilliant and wise beyond their years, and this one is no exception. I love the imagery, I love the "symbolism", if that's what it's called. Briliant, dahling, simply brill.
