A dastardly internal struggle, I loved the atmosphere found in the beginning paragraphs. I really sets the mood. The flow of the story was very good, with a well made flashback. You adeptly preformed the disjointed story.
I feel as if the connection to the theme of the jam was a bit loose. Kenith didn't seem to have much problem making his choice.
All in all, I liked the story. I appreciate your participation in the Jam, and am excited for what you make next.
