An intriguing teaser, and an opening chapter that hints of promise. I hope to see the story continued.

I enjoyed reading this story; short and sweet... well, bittersweet that is. I liked the story that was developed, and it works well as a short story. As a tip for improvement, it would be nice to delve deeper into the character so that the reader can more fully experience what the character feels about the situation. Thank you for the work that you put into "The Wayward".
