Introduction from the web page where the story is available for all interested:
This is a little story – a real, fictional, short story – I wrote a few weeks back. Actually it kind of exploded out of me in a strange fit of…umm…literary diahorrea, if I could call it that (you may describe it as that after you read it, but that’s another story!). It’s been a long time since I’ve written any short fiction, and it could probably do with a good edit, but sometimes when these things come out like that the best thing you can do for a while is stare at them and leave them as they are.
This short story, while in need of some editing, actually blew my mind. So simple, yet somehow breathtakingly beautiful. It tells the story of an orphan who has been at the orphanage for a very long time and for some reason, while the end message is somewhat sad and bittersweet, I actually enjoyed it a great deal.
