  This is an interesting story of a widower Karl who works as a general handy man at a Chronic care hospital who after receiving a call out, when one of the electrical units starts to play up, soon finds himself communicating via certain equipment with a young man who has been left brain-dead and in coma. It's not long before they build a rather touching friendship. The story is told between past and present, where Karl is telling his story to a police detective, taking the reader back to his story. This was a lovely piece of work and appears to have been researched well. I did feel it was too short and when reading it felt the author here has a great idea which he could take far. This could easily have been a novel and I feel if approached in the write way could be as good, if better, than a Stephen King! Well worth reading and I'm sure Mr Howells won't mind me mentioning but it's also free on smashwords.com. If you like something a little different, then I highly recommend this very good short piece of fiction. Highly enjoyable.
