Oh, wow. Um, that's all I can say. Wow. What crafting of words and concepts! Gorgeous. Simply beautiful writing. Glad Kew recommended it.

Simply fantastic, Zae, though this makes me very sad for Tony. He wants to grow up, but growing up means heartache. It's a vicious cycle with this man, isn't it? And you capture his internal monologue magnificently. Well done!

Heartbreakingly sad and beautiful, but it describes our Tony so perfectly - we have often wondered why he refuses to grown up and this gives us a clearer understanding of that.

My dear, you have outdone yourself - wonderful piece of work, one I will read again and again.

That was awesome and very well written.

Loved the picture you included with your profile by the way. I love dogs. Now, to the story. VERY well written. I love character-analysis pieces, though I must say, I have never read one as well written as yours. Thanks for sharing.

This was such a great character sketch. Thanks-

Your command of language is exquisite. It's hard to categorize this story. It gives me a weird sad strange feeling. But I think I understand why he feels as he does. Great writing.

Great fic. It showed so very well how scared Tony is of getting hurt, of delving too deep. Well done!

Wow...this just made me so sad for Tony.

So very sad.

You have hit him just right I think.

GREAT look into the character of Tony. Personally, I find the regression disappointing. But you put into words why it appeals to him.

As usual I love your wonderful thoughts on life, from Tony's POV. For example - "people still insist on looking back, against the flow. Which creates a colossal crick in the neck, he decides." Brilliant :D

And this could be a quote from my own life: "He doesn't want the full package when it requires so much maintenance." Know what you're talkin' about there, Tony boy!

Love

love the closing line. well done as always

Wow. I'm not sure what I can say. Really, really well done. Seriously. I'd write some long message if I thought I could, but wow. This was so complex and well done. Wow. Thank you.

Ya never cease to amaze me. In this short piece you've managed to capture the gist of his being. Although I would say, he only thinks he can fly. In reality, he's mired in one spot.

This is beautiful, stinging observation.
