What I read online very recently for the first time, needs more commas inserted in the proper places, and the part about Melanie, ? (Don't have the inclination to go back and verify, if that was the name you used) in my opinion, needs to be separated in some sort of punctuality way, to the rest of the story. Great story! :bow: Do you need a refresher in English at your age? Possibly. I'm not the writer. :shock:


P.S. You misspelled a word towards the beginning.

Actually, Cathleen, all the words are spelled correctly and there are more than enough commas... lol. Some of the dialog is dialectic and must be spelled that way to be authentic. As for the "flash to the past" insert, it's separated enough since this is first person narrative and not third person observer.

Keep warm! There's some cold weather coming your way.

James, this piece actually started out as a stanza-formatted freeverse poem in 4 parts. I realized that if I took out all the line breaks that it was a straightforward prose story, not a poem at all.

My "best" pieces all come from somewhere in the aether. They spring from my pen to the paper without any deliberate intervention by my logical mind. None of them are edited, so like Athena from the forehead of Zeus they spring full-grown and armored into the world ready to do battle.

Cheers!
