Why this must be read:

This story has just the right amount of dark for me. Grim but not hopeless, it's a look at what the lads could be driven to without turning them into caricatures. Bodie's pain is almost palpable as he goes about seeking his revenge. And while I certainly understood Bodie's motivation, I couldn't help but feel sorry for Doyle whose guilt and sorrow are slowly eating him alive.

I do have a small quibble...and it is small, indeed. Eight years is a long time. I think I could have more easily bought into it if their time apart had been three or four years at the most. But that one item certainly doesn't detract from my enjoyment. And the image presented of the older Bodie and Doyle more than make up for it.

Thanks so much for recommending this story, one of my favourites. From the very first paragraph the author draws me in and keeps me there. I love it.

Yes, her description of Doyle, and Bodie's reaction to him, is certainly compelling. Hooks you right in and never lets you go.

How does it come I am refused access to the site while it was always easily available; I didn't get an error message but "Forbidden on your server" (???).

I think she has since taken down her website. The story is on the Circuit Archive.

Ah, thanks so much; Sorry for the disturbance. I thought I had checked but I was confusing with another story, which is not available neither here nor on the Circuit.

No problem. :-) Unfortunately, with people's websites going up and down, this isn't an isolated incident.
