This is so heartbreaking. I completely understand your fear that the next earthquake will affect you and the ones you love I used to live in California, and after experiencing a large earthquake I decided

You write such imaginative stories, @kei2. And this one is no exception. A young girl who turns into a werewolf... wow!!

Oh my. I think you break my heart into pieces with almost every post you write! You have such a way of tugging at the reader's heartstrings! He sounds like a treasure. It really is amazing how a child

I read an article about him quite a while ago. What a sad end! Later, I heard that he had grown up with an abusive father, which was one of the main reasons he ran away to live in the wild.

I'm glad society is more tolerant today, and that some of the old traditions are going away. That one in particular makes no sense, especially since the rule has never been applied to men! I'm glad you

I really enjoyed reading this, @lightpen. So many of us can relate to the embarrassment you felt by your family's status. But your father taught you well! You must miss him every day.

Wow, your title is certainly appropriate! Tavi is riding high — snapping at people on the show set, entertaining her social media fans, getting her fancy lifestyle paid for by a billionaire... until it

I'm excited to see what people come up with from this prompt, @mrenglish. Good luck and have fun!

Congratulations, @kemmyb. Nice work with character development, world building and a great story arc!

Congrats @wrestlingdesires! Your story was spooky and fun.

Good luck, @marriot5464. Be sure to read the dialogue article. It will help you to learn the mechanics of dialogue, which is a very important element of good fiction. Have fun!

Great sci-fi story, @seki1. The therapist actually gains access to the patient's past experiences and memories. Fascinating. Too bad he's so affected by the experience that now he needs therapy, instead

I enjoyed your story, @nelson-george. But I had so many questions at the end! Who was "the voice"? Was that the man she married or someone else? Did all the people have the same dream? Why was

Ah... you know what they say! "Payback is a b****!" I love stories that end with some scoundrel or scammer getting their due. Great story, @grindan!

Oh my, I didn't realize they were getting on in years. They look good! Well then I can especially see why it is extra hard to leave them when you visit. Well, I'm not sure how, but I hope there's a way

Years ago I learned to put that in perspective for my health and well-being, but it is tough. That's the most important thing. We do what we can do in this world, and help others when we can, but when

Thanks for checking out my post, @grindan! Yes, I agree, the beaches here are lovely and at least in the winter months are not over-populated. I'm sure it's pretty crazy here in the spring and summer.

You must be so torn, @millycf1976 — wanting to honor your family and your roots, but at the same time wanting to build your life elsewhere, where there is more opportunity and less crime. It sounds like

Ha ha, yeah, you and snakes are not a good mix, right? Venomous or not! Yeah, stay away from this area and also the Southwest region of the U.S. Lots of snakes there!

Oh, I think a lot of people have had Covid and just never knew it. Either they had no symptoms or it was mild like a cold. My daughter has tested every time she has known that she was exposed, and never
