I liked this and thought it was very well done. I especially liked the last line.

A fantastic story...love the way you let Sam predict the future if everything turned the other way around. A sad story..love the last sentence.

this was very touching...nicely written!

Wow, that was really good. I really enjoyed it! I like the idea of Sam fixing the car himself and succeeding, and I can so clearly see him flinching at a call for 'John'. Very well thought out and written. Thanks for posting it!

Nice take on Sam alone. Well struck.
