Andrew ran away to The Woods to be alone, to live however he wanted. Instead, he found the brother he'd never had, which was so much better than being alone -- and so much more dangerous ....
And there was so much to do, for the two of them. The Boy showed Andrew how to use the spear to fish, and to hunt rabbits and squirrels and, eventually, lions. They watched some nights, in secret and shelter, as pirate ships went down the river; ran and danced and sang in moonlight; scared off bears and coyotes with flaming torches.This short story originally appeared in the collection "SLICES," available now.
The Boy told Andrew everything he knew about The Woods, and Andrew drank it all in. He started to suspect, over time, that there was more to the world than even the Boy understood, and he sometimes watched alone as slender and graceful rocketships rose into the night sky, as sunsets tinted their fuselages rose and red and imperial violet; or on other nights, as robots deuled with cannons from the decks of ironclad dirigibles.
"Peter," Andrew said. "I think I'll call you Peter. Like Peter Pan."
The Boy's face darkened. "Damn it," he whispered. He lunged across the fire to Andrew, kicking and scattering burning logs. He grabbed Andrew's shirtfront and shoved him against the cave wall. "Take it back! Why do you have to ruin everything?" he asked. "Why do you have to name everything? Decide what's real and what's -- why can't you just enjoy things? What's wrong with you? .... "

I had forgotten how much I enjoy reading Michael's work. The only thing I enjoy more than reading it is listening to him read it aloud...he's made for that. I don't read much of it because he writes a lot of Horror and I don't enjoy the genre as a rule, but I'm going to be hunting down more of his non-horror stories. (But if you like scary horror, things that really get inside your brain and make you go, "urk", read his horror works, by all means. They're good, really good, just not the sort of thing I generally let rattle around in my head. I like to sleep at night...)Lost Boy is a short story in what I consider kind of a classic sense. It doesn't feel like part of a larger work. It makes a statement on its own and moves on. The prose is very easy to read, in that it flows well and is well-crafted. And yet, the characters are real, for all that they're only alive for a few pages. A thoroughly enjoyable evening read.
The next thing I did after I finished reading it? Downloaded his story "A Game of Cities", of course.

Lost Boy eBook Michael Montoure Reviews
"Lost Boy" tells the story of a boy who wanders away from his family and into a boyhood wonderland full of forest playland, lakes, and adventure.
After a little while, he realizes that he doesn't really know how to live on his own in the woods. Not long after that, he realizes he's not alone.
This mixture of practical details and fairy-tale wish fulfillment makes for a heady brew. I think everyone had times when they've wished they could leave behind the things that upset them and run off to somewhere less complicated. When it became obvious what was happening, I was completely sucked in.
A thoroughly enjoyable tale.
