A great story, but what a bummer for Christmas! Still, not everybody lives a Currier and Ives life. Well done reminder to be happy with whatever we have because some people have it much much worse.

If there was ever and argument for suicide, mercy killing, or whatever this story is it. Yes assholes like this that drink and drive are all around us. They ruin many lives not just their own. Perhaps the old couple should be visiting him, talking of their families loss, the grandchildren growing up without them. A well written story yes, and erotic story no, a good piece of reluctance in the way of torment and torture for a guilty party yes. Would I read it again, no.

Well written, but I hated it, what a bummer of a supposed Christmas season story

did hold it down. He, like many drunks, never accepts responsibility, its always soemone's elses fault and he will never do anything to change or to rebuild his life.

Who knows why she bothers to come back to try to reform the drunk. There may be an illiness like alcholohism, but no one is forced at the point of a gun to drink. One feels for his family and friends but not for this useless sot, who will never try to improve or change. He needs to hike down a busy railroad track and improve the world.

Well written but just to dark for me to call wonderful, but it was entertainment and done very well.<P>PT

Twenty years and he's got it down to just Christmas. I wonder what the first five or ten were like for him. The truth is so much easier to face. Not always pleasant, but always better. When you know you've killed your love......its so hard to face. The booze doesn't stop it. Only the truth. and then it only tempers.......... GP
