I really enjoyed this. Bittersweet, and heartbreaking and with a little happiness. The idea of Logan being a lifeguard was a wonderful analogy to the chaos in his life.

He’ll watch people drown only as long as he has to in order to save them, and if he can’t, he won’t let the water swallow them whole.

That imagery was just amazing. Wonderful work.

I'm glad the life-guarding stuff worked for you. I do think Logan would make a good lifeguard. It's hard for me to imagine him in a grown-up profession (even though I've read all the journalist/writer/lawyer takes on it), but for now, this works for me. The physicality of it, the impulse to protect, the opportunity for voyeurism, yada, yada. I wonder if that could continue to translate as he gets older, if he could end up, say, as a cop. Which seems absolutely ridiculous, but still sort of intrigues me.

This is all by the way of saying thanks so much for reading. I really appreciate the feedback.

Wow, beautiful descriptions, terrific characterizations. I love how much you describe the ocean, love the undertones and just a beautiful, bittersweet story. Thanks so much for sharing!

Oh, I'm so glad you liked it. Especially the ocean stuff. I definitely had water on the brain. Thanks for reading and commenting!

Okay...I love your writing. Beautiful, character was on spot...but it was so depressing. I was hoping it would have a happy ending but it was so sad at the end. Like I said, great story, bittersweet and I can totally imagine Logan as a lifeguard but still....sad...

Re: wow... nessaassen September 24 2005, 04:37:28 UTC

Yeah, I am sad about the ending too. But when I started this (in July!), I wanted to figure out how Veronica and Logan could start the summer together (because I can't let go of that), but then not make it--this being my way of preparing myself for the possible (probable?) trauma of the new season. This was the only way I could see it. But I also think all is not lost. Logan can have some space to figure his stuff out; Veronica can get over normal. Then they can find their way back to each other.

See, at heart I am a sap! Thanks so much for reading and for the heartfelt feedback.
