a Pub Story by leftboy

This is so realistically told that I'm sure it's not purely fictional - but although it rambles slightly it has a tone and rhythm that I really like. There's no need to spell out much of its message, it's there beneath the words, and raises more questions than answers - but questions worth raising never the less:

Brings back a lot of memories of graduating - the sense of achievement utterly demolished by arriving home! I think the detail in the first half is a bit overdone: too many company names and web sites - it could have been shorter without losing the sense of ambition and, ultimately, the selfishness of the narrator. Great characterisation, so believable, really makes this story. Good flag, TC.
