I rarely have sympathy for Roy, but this made me have some. So good work.

"That weekend she came down with his cold; he wishes now he'd stayed home with her instead of going fishing with his brother." Poor, poor Roy. He finally starts to get it when it's too late. And I loved the last line "He feels homeless". What a great way to describe his feelings.
Author's Response: Thank you! I think Roy really does feel 'adrift' right now.

This made me kind of feel for Roy. Kind of.
Author's Response: Good! Because it's rare for people to be all good or all bad. I think Roy has some sympathetic characteristics, which a sitcom limited to half an hour can't really explore. Thanks for reading, LM!

Aw. This is so sweet and feels so authentic to who Roy is. The line about how he doesn't understand why women like the skinny salesman really brought it into focus for me -- he's trying so hard, but he just doesn't have the wiring to make it work.
Thank you; this piece was an admirable character study.
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm working on character studies right now, so I'm glad this succeeded with you.

Author's Response: Hot? Well, hot under the collar, maybe. :) Glad you liked it, mcmuffins.

I never thought I would feel sad for Roy but after reading this my heart actually breaks for him a little. Great job!
Author's Response: Thanks! I always like it when I manage to change a reader's perception of a character a little.
