You have no idea how glad I am to read the words 'real talent' in your review. Thank you. But yes, too much exposition. I'll try to avoid that in future stories. I would have loved to show more of Oscar to be honest. I just didn't have the time to make the story much longer then it was and I had to give all the necessary information for the challenge this way. Thinking back I probably could have done it differently, for example the aching joints I mentioned could have been made apparent by making him move and describe an expression of pain or something like that. So yes, it's definitely something I'll keep in mind for other stories. Thanks for the review.
