I find it such a sad concept, how people who don't know Christopher view him. They think he's stupid, or retarded, when he simply has a mental disorder which, in my opinion, makes him see the world in a different and very interesting way. Of course, he does have strange quirks and often acts in a way that is far from normal, but he's a very talented person.
This man, though, I like the way he's seen this incident. This is a lovely piece, and I would like it if you wrote more - maybe another one-shot, or an extended version of this?

Great piece! I liked reading something from a different POV.

*standing ovation*

Great written.

It fits with the way the book is written too, really cool :D

love this book. i wondered if this guy knew that something was wrong with christopher at the time. great flow! your writing style matches the book really well

Oh my gosh, That's so eerie. This goes to show how one event can lead to another, and you don't know what sort of effect your actions will have on someone else... I loved this book and this scene, was so... poignant. I felt bad for the man, but bad for Christopher.

And you did a very well job capturing the emotions of this anonymous man.

Really good story. I read the book and completely forgot it while searching the site.

Really like it-quite insightful.

what an interesting insight! i love the way you turned something that was so insignificant in the book into something important :) great job.
