I'm over here from the writing challeng community... Just posted mine there 2 days late because I misremembered the deadline. Neville-ish, no?
But what a cute little vignette this is... I just love the way you've shown 6 year old Neville. Loved that he was careful about giving his real name to strangers, loved that he chose "Frank" for his fake name, even loved it that he recognised Dora when he was older. It's rare, but given the way this story sets things up, and what we already know of Neville's character, I think he's just the right sort to forget breakfast, but not a face that means something to him.

Well done!
