Thank you both for writing such different, powerfully-voiced, compelling, and emotionally complex explosions of story from the same artistic grenade. Very impressed with both, and that is rare.
Wow... just wow. That is all.
For now. (I can explain my vote, but I'll wait til later so as to not influence the other readers)
Ah hey :(
For the record it wasn't. The whole notion of the story came from the fact that caption felt like a bad joke (or a good one who knows) I spent half the goddamn week feeling like a failure because I couldn't write and thought I was going to have to pull out of this fight. And not that it makes a difference but my life has had so much shit and stuff going on I haven't actually been able to write pretty much anything since last war.
Also I don't cheat. So fuck it, whatever. Round of applause for getting me to post this kind of comment.
Ugh.
Voodoo_em, I didn't feel that way at all after reading your story. I totally got what you were going for. It kinda felt like the quips in Pulp Fiction. Don't stress just because someone didn't get it. Art is subjective. What rocks my world may not even cause a ripple in yours. Best~ Sam
