Nevertheless, the rest of the story still leverages the original's plot and characters. I've never run with the bulls. So I moved this to a situation that I have experienced myself. I think Papa would approve.

The beauty of reposting is that I can build an overall narrative out of three separate pieces. This is the first in a series of stories written at different times and for different reasons.

Then it evolves based on who the protagonists really are. It definitely isn't romantic. But it IS a love story.

Readers from both sites suggested that I port some of my better received stories over here. And who doesn't love a do-over?

But, I can't think of any story that would be harder to adapt than the Old Man and the Sea. So of course I had to try it. I hope you enjoy it - DT
