This story wasn't the best thing I've ever read, but it was far from being the worst...so don't run away from it, please.
I thought there were some good parts to it, such as, the relationship between the characters. The relationship between the main character and the bridge was even worth mentioning. Though especially with the later of these two, I think they could have been altered slightly to feel stronger for me.
The main character, for me, wasn't that easy to follow. There was a switch between his five year old point of view and the point of view of however old he is at the time he "writes down the story." This wouldn't be much of a problem though I think it was too jumbled and hard to decipher the differences between the two. I mention this because the mentality and memory capability of a five year old is drastically different than that of an adult. I would have liked to see clearer what was a recalling of the 5-year-old's self and what was a reflection from the present on the past events.
I think overall I was left feeling like I needed something more. Maybe a little more depth to the whole thing. It may have been the right amount of depth for other readers, but I felt it lacked a little bit. There was more to be said; more to be scene. I wouldn't mind reading an expanded version. As I said, this wasn't a bad story; just not fully to my liking.
I still don't see a reason not to check this one out.

Brisk character development enhances the narrative, and makes you think. Overall a good short story.

This is a reminiscent story of life’s little fleeting moments. A simple memory that will always be with you, and will grow in significance over time. After reading this,I started to search for my own high bridge moment. I’m looking forward to more from this author.
