|
|
I have posted another short story. It is titled "Anything."
Have fun. Or maybe not.
Hmmm, maybe a few of the things are a little over the top, but I'm not sure. You tell me. I'm pretty certain there are furs (and humans) who go through things like that or even worse.
No, I did not plan to post it on the 4th of July, I just happened to finish it today. _________________ I'm a nut, but there are those who appreciate me for it. |

Well, it's fun as in good writing, but not any other way. It is well written and I can't really say it's over the top; I've heard/seen enough to agree with your certainty. I'd say that charity seems to be sponsored by what Ray Stevens once called the "First Self-Righteous Church" (see his song, "Mississippi Squirrel Revival", for a humorous look at self-righteousness and hypocrisy).
Thanks for a thought-stirring piece.

I won't say that was beautiful, because her circumstances make that impossible. But it was true, and honest, and very well-done.
You wouldn't believe how often (well, maybe you would ... either that, or you have an incredibly vivid imagination) that story or a version of it plays out in this world. Life is little more than a burden for too many people.
Thank you for sharing. I'll bet that was painful to write. _________________ Oddly enough, my life is based on a true story. (Ashleigh Brilliant) |

Nice lyrics.

Actually, not as such.
What was painful, was having to write it.

Very well written the way you left the interview one sided allowing the reader to feel as though they themselves were asking the questions very novel I liked it, the femmes situation however sadly felt all to real, sad commentary on today’s society _________________ "Political Correctness is tyranny with manners."
