Aimless Ramblings

Thank you! I'm sure you won't be surprised to learn that the beginning was also the hardest part to write. :) I knew I had to achieve several things in that section so that the reader wouldn't be surprised when Ben blithely walked off into the past, so lots of rereading, adding clarifying points, and reworking had to happen. And then of course, Ben goes back, and the whole tone changes, at least until the very end.

I'm very glad you enjoyed this, and appreciate your kind comment.
