That was well written for a one-shot,they tend to be hard as you have to try and have a 'full story' yet make it fit into one scene.
Thats an interesting take on what could of happened to Shorty-fire leaving him orphaned since we really don't know. Orphaned,run away,abandoned or just lost..we don't know and will most likely never find out.
And it was nice you made Shorty look like a good guy instead of the jerk bully we do know.
Hey,if you do write another one-shot you could write your take on what could of changed Shorty from this to that bully.
True,Ducky123 has a fic on that,but his take on Shorty's past is abuse while yours is being an orphan so yours could go a different way all together ..or maybe a full chapter story,I want to see more of your take on Shorty's past. Fan theories are always interesting.
"Every storm runs, runs out of rain
Just like every dark night turns into day
Every heartache will fade away
Just like every storm runs, runs out of rain
It's gonna set you free,
It's gonna run out of pain,
And set you free"
I know that song,it fits the theme you got going on here very well,it was when I saw that I understood the meaning of the title. It now makes a lot of sense.
This is one of the rare moments I feel sorry for Shorty,I really felt for him the way you wrote it all.
Great job,Nahla. This was a lovely little story,you did amazingly well,one-shots aren't meant to have massive detail anyway.
I read this again to the song Every Storm by Gary Allen-it fits perfectly..Nahla even used a part of it in the story..she must of known.
I love this,you should write more one-shots totally,and you have a good point in this. Beautiful!
Thats the longest review I ever wrote..and it on the shortest story I ever read...lovely
