In this weeks story 'The Good Son', a man spends his life desperately seeking the approval of his father, but was always in the shadow of his older brother. I wrote this adopting another narrative voice and it was a biographical piece, inspired by my own father after we had been looking at some old photographs and reflecting on some his experiences. Thanks Dad!
