I received a free copy of this story to review for Story Cartel.  I was amazed by how much was packed into such a short story and how involved in the narrator's life I became in such a short amount of time.  It drew me in quickly and captivated me with the use of beautiful imagery.  It is a somewhat haunting account of the end of life and that which is most dear slipping slowly away. I can't help but feel sorry for the narrator who is losing his ability to make music which has obviously been his life's pleasure and purpose.  It had me wanting to know more about the younger version of this man and what he might have been like when life was more full for him.  By personal preference, I did not appreciate all the obscenities.
