You did this as a poem before, didn't you? It's just as good as a story.

[DavidRandallCurtis]

rozeboosje: no, but I did send out some versions of it for feedback--perhaps you got one? Then again, the characters in most of my poems are either drunk or blasted out of their minds! :p Glurb-less bastards! :p

One of my favourite things in the world is listening to stories read aloud =) You are a master at it, David! I particularly love your turns of phrase and the scene in the car near the end. The tension you create is brilliant ^^

" 'I think the only thing that's tragic is people who can't take a joke.' I said. She slammed the door and walked out of my life."

"the church of the easily offended" Great! This was a fine piece of writing and a great piece of story telling.
