Not entirely happy with the ending, but I ran out of room after trying to give the father a real personality. Hopefully this fits in with what you were looking for from this challenge. After THX ’s number challenge, it was the most difficult for me.

very good. i know he shouldn’t, but Tony creeps me out.

I feel bad for Noah, I can see why he needs Tony.

This was interesting because the first time I read through the story I identified the dad as the supporting character, but the second time I read the story I felt like Tony was the real supporting character in more than one way. Without an imaginary friend, I don’t think Noah would survive school and an alcoholic dad.

Tony, Dad and Mom are all supporting characters that I wanted the reader to feel something different about. I’m just not a good enough writer to pull it off effectively. But Tony is indeed the main supporting character.

Well done John, I think the alcoholic dad came across nicely, I didn’t get a real feeling bout mom though. Tony is cool, alltough he doesn’t talk much.
