Jared didn’t reply. He took another drink and started their next round.
Brent Peters grew up in the farming community of Aylmer, Ontario, Canada. A love of stories and general nerdiness helped guide him from the cucumber field to the classroom. He now teaches English in Aomori, Japan.
Even knowing nothing about wrestling nor the video games mentioned, I was moved by this story. Brent captures the feelings of the characters very well and draws the reader into their lives. I look forward to more stories by him.
Loved this short story immediately! I was gripped by the underlying emotions and sneak peaks of vulnerability in these two wonderful characters!
Great job, Brent!
I found myself easily drawn into the minds of these characters and their status quo. Brent really understands what makes Don and Jared believable and writes them as such!
Keep at it bro!
