“Feeling Good, Feeling Fine”
by George Garrett
New Sudden Fiction (2007)
* * * * * (Excellent) Realistic
A boy and his uncle enjoy playing baseball before returning home to the news that will take his sometimes trouble uncle away from the family.
A very sweet, yet tragic tale of growing up. The descriptions of the boy and uncle playing baseball in the field are fantastic. The fact that the boy is out there reluctantly, yet still feels such pleasure in the compliments he is given for a sport he likes the least, is what gives the story its impact. It’s the little things we do for others that end up making us feel the most. Excellent “fiction” indeed.
