Connor - Post Series - Following in Father's Footsteps

He found it ironic that Spike tells him more than Angel ever would. Connor allowed that maybe Angel was humiliated by the things he did as Angelus but it’s a part of him that can’t be denied. Connor wanted to know everything. Somehow he knew he probably should feel a little guilty about using the Reilley money for this but he doesn’t. His eyes lifted to the top of the Great Wall thinking about the changes in his father’s life that happened in this country. The curse might have started in Europe but it was in China that Angel’s rebirth began.

I like it but your tenses switch from present to past. *makes frowny face*

Still, Connor in China! Wheee!!!

yeah i noticed that. My sugar is so high I'm lucky to be thinking let alone writing. And here i thought i caught all the bobbles in tense

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Not all of them, no. *grins*

I don't the tense change makes it hard to understand what is happening. I assumed the drabble started in the middle of a flashback, and switched to the present--Connor in China--and then switched to Angelus' past.

The obvious explanation is that the drabble is cutting-edge, and the tenses reflect the two generations, father and son, and there future together.

I write stuff like that all the time. At least, that's how I explain it away. ;)
