OMG, that was impressing! It gave me the goosebumps as I was reading it. I loved how you managed to capture their special, thick accent in the writing, the fact that James' papaw hates him because he's not his real son and also because he thinks he's as coward as his actual one. And the detail of the frogs ♥
As soon as I have a good amount of time, I'll start reading your novella :)
