I love your style - I read this story long ago and I'm so glad I ran across it again. 

 

I've not quit reading since I started over an hour ago.  I don't like mean or harsh stories mostly so the first chapter was difficult for me, but it musta been good cos I can't seem to quit now.  Compelling story you got going. 

oh that was good.

It is an interesting different life that you have for William in this one. Nice!
