For the first short story you have shared, it's a beautiful and strangely poignant piece and I'm grateful that you have presented it here.

A couple of years ago, I also presented my first "public" story here and I understand that it can be difficult to -- well -- let our babies go out into the big, wide world, so to speak.

Thank you,

Mike

Although it is a bummer that you died in the end, the lesson is a good one! You're right, we should live and not just exist to worry. I loved it. This was a great read.

Thank you so much!

I actually started the story with Dad dying, but somewhere as I was writing it, that changed.

I write on the fly, not making a rough draft when I do a short story or a poem, editing as I go, so there was no forethought about that death. It just came out that way.

This was a well thought out and written short story for the current writing contest. ATS does conspiracy theories and so much more. Look around a bit more and you'll find recipes, music and almost anything you can think of. You might want to try your hand at the current contest.

I am livid!!!

I only just came back to ATS after a period of abstinence, and I've not looked all over the site, just the "latest up to the minute" oil thread and a few others.

I had no idea about a short-story competition, or recipes for that matter.

I just didn't expect a conspiracy site to do such things.

I am so so so sorry guys and gals.



I will not deny it is a very good story, just thought it was odd to see the post on here.

Dammit.
