Very descriptive and emotional, it's not easy to pull of both. Well done!

Omg that's so good!!

"And so it is, each day, repetitious; more alike than other days passed" This line is weird. And bad. Haha. If something is repetitious (which I for some reason don't think is a word. Repetitive sounds a lot better), then if one is MORE alike than the other days... it's not REALLY that repetitive, because something is different. I don't know. It made me sit there and ponder the meaning of true repetition for a while and it distracted from the story.

The impact of how his life is complete drudgery could have been felt a lot better if you described it longer at the beginning of the story. You say that his life was monotonous and boring, but just saying it doesn't help the audience to FEEL it. And this little blurby story does a lot better if we feel it.

The last line is so perfect. I was afraid you were going to do something corny like "And from that day forward he was happy THE END" or something, but you did it very nicely. It was simple and left the reader to understand that his life was different from then on.

Also, the phrase "radiating happiness" is kind of overused and silly. It's also rather repetitive... if you're smiling, then yeah you're radiating happiness.

I really liked this, though. It was simple... I think it would be better being a little MORE simple or just a little more complex... it's hanging in limbo right now - save it! :)

Attack of the review marathon! (see link in my profile)

I like this. It's sweet, and it has a good message. There were a few awkward sentences that could be broken down, though.

Aw. I really like this.
I like what you decided to say with this story.
A good drabble, it would be even better if it were longer, but superb all the same.

that's really short and sweet

gets the point across. liked it much better than 'paint'.

I quite like the formal language you used for this, and the message you chose to convey was a nice one. It was pretty short and to-the-point, which is fine for this type of story, but I couldn't help but feel that a little more detail/fleshing out would be welcome. Still, no biggie; the simplicity of this piece was probably what made it so effective. :)
