Singing is the answer to everything - love it! I was concerned. Shooting a bear. (With a bow and arrow??) At close range. Of course, this is @owasco. Nothing expected or dreaded will happen - only surprises!

LOL Facebook Sharing this post, I got all these condolences on the loss of my mom. People really do no read very closely. (I'm guilty of this, too.) Note to self: SPELL IT OUT very clearly that I am SHARING

Ohhh yes. A continent away, an ocean between us... Been There. Death so often comes in threes. Surely, someone could prove this isn't so. Statistically. Anecdotally, though, everyone I know will lose two

A clogged artery ... oh no... meds, but no stent? (What a mystery - you elude diagnosis! How frustrating that is. It took me 20 years of malpractice and miserable, expensive "treatments" before

Hey Sam, how's the Deep Breathing + Wands + barefoot adventure going? Have you read much about the Rife machines and RF to combat cancer - and wands? ....Royal Rife is considered one of the greatest scientific

Falling, but no dizziness (vertigo) - just a "funny feeling" after you look up? I still have the falling problem and when I look up I get the funny feeling that I get right before I fall I wonder

Working nights. Classes by day. Full time, plus+. She could use a summer at home for Rest and Relaxation. May it happen! Here's hoping for a do-over, rather than The Great Reset.... May your summer be

"Catch that thing" sounds like a perfect prompt for the freewriter whose livelihood is fishing. Aka "The woman who works at the fish house' - love it! Then you reel us in with a surprise:

Oops. Solar FLARE. Not worth going in to edit...

The photos. The words! When we let corruption go on; when we stop fighting those bigger than we are; when we put up and shut - When you open the box of despair, all demons are freed and you'll have

You nailed it. They are the pillars of our lives, our guiding lights, and our constants. The first stage of grief often brings shock, disbelief, and a sense of being adrift in an unfamiliar world. And,

Having just read the "I'm not gonna catch it" freewrite, I'm struck by your talent for expressing a theme of nonconformity in so many ways and in so few words. #WordEconomy is the goal of fiction

Ohhh, sad, ohh, how beautifully you capture the sense of shock and loss, the "carry on" with that weight of grief all the days of our lives. Oh, the thwarted surprise! This is one reason life

what a classic freewrite! Without directly describing it, you really capture the loss of your father. This! .... part of freewriting is, to me, allowing those thoughts to flow through your fingers, but

What she said - how well you capture the teen angst, and the strange, small details one might fixate on, because the big picture is too hard to handle. This teenager takes it all in, and we feel her pain,

I am truly in awe of your needlwork - busy you, busy needles, making such beautiful, intricate things! That balloon bouquet - I cannot imagine - all the threads to cut and tie off and work in. What a labor

Oh, you are doing a great thing, posting these stories as they come! I was only explaining that for me it's hard to follow, but serializing as-we-write is a trend. The image of the pink flower, I thought,

"The Ballroom Project" works for me as a permanent title. An old editor I know would purge "The" from every title of every short story, to the chagrin of all Perhelion Science Fiction

This link to continuing Folastar’s story is broken: But I don't read posts via ecency anyway, so I'll hunt for it under your Hive address. :) This one definitely has me wanting more of Folastar! ... he

We haven't heard from you for some time, Aisling. I hope all is well. This poem is a keeper. My mom's cousin was on my mind, a WWII vet, Purple Heart, and this is very timely. Yes, a month later, I came
