I wasn’t exactly sure what a mid-life crisis is. Also, this week’s is a little weird, just a heads up.
This week’s submission: Birthday
Great dialogue. You tell the story of these characters through their language and dialect! Is this a happy or sad story? It would be easy to label it as a sad story, but I don’t want to do that. I want to see “Da” like some many of us who’ve had to put aside our own dreams for the sake of others (family). But the real strength comes from how we see this. Does “Da” see his life as regret? I don’t think so, but certainly he still dreams those dreams of his youth — especially in a drunken’ night in the pub with his son. As we learn at the end, he was just talking shite. And there ain’t nothing wrong with that! Nice work, Chris!
