    Everything a one-shot should be - beautifully written, poignant, memorable, and the story itself made me sad. It's written in CheddarTrek's typical style - simple, yet flowing prose that is fun to read. On account of its very short length, and it being a one-shot, it gets my highest o-s rating - 4.5/5. A must read.

    The best thing in this piece was that Ched didn't make it more corny than was necessary. Perhaps, it felt a bit rushed at the end. But it also helped to cut down other complications. I rather liked the part with Dennis searching for that camera.

    4/5 from me.

    Thanks dudes.

    I never really expected to see this up for review, but I gotta admit it makes me grin a bit. Makes me want to go back and fix a few of the little things in it ("too" instead of "to" I think at one point, and a few other bits that didn't flow well).

    I really love the simplistic poignancy of this. I wish there was a bit more to the language, and there's some issue with flow in parts, but it's really impressive to get so much said with so few words. Major props.

    An easy 5/5 by Library standards in my opinion.

    I had a sad.

    5/5


    Edit: Wait, didn't both Creevey brothers die?

    I'm hesitant to give 5/5 to a story so short, but this deserves it.

    The feels man, the feels. Didn't know that could still happen, so 5/5.

    A short, heartrending story about what could have been. Easy to read and quite engaging too for only 500+ words.
