You have such a way with capturing Ricky's character. Too bad there wasn't a scene like this in the movie. It would have fit perfectly! Great job!

Nice ending. :-)

This is such a sad story :( It would have made for a good character in the story if he really had an uncle to lookout for him. You do an excellent job with conveying emotions in your work - makes you feel like you (the reader) are there observing the whole scene. GREAT JOB!
