*StarfishB*First Impressions
My first impression was that this is a gentle story, two old men, typical curmudgeonly types start off bickering and end up organising to spend time together, each allowing the other to see their loneliness.


*StarfishB*Plot
The story unfolds as one of the characters brings a better quality bird seed to the place where the other character has been feeding the pigeons. The guy who was there first feels he has a sort of monopoly on these pigeons. A conversation takes place between them and a solution, amenable to both is agreed upon.


*StarfishB* Characters
There are no discernible differences between the two characters. I don’t necessarily think that’s too important in such a short story but maybe a little description may have added something. I think they’ll make great friends, but much of their time will be spent arguing about the little things.


*StarfishB*Climax
The last couple of lines were lovely, both expressed a desire for companionship, exposing a vulnerability which is quite profound.



*StarfishB*Parting Comments
I loved the story, the humour and the gentleness. Thank you for sharing.
