Terrific story, @tozill! Thank goodness Mary was okay! This story is very realistically told through the eyes of a child.

Stories like this are both sad and beautiful. It breaks my heart that Budi suffers like that, and I know it is true for many people around the world. But this is a hopeful story. Thank you for the happy

It's very hard to give up a beloved pet, but at least it is going to a beloved friend!

It can take a very long time to recover from the loss of a very close friend or family member. Jose was smart to see a psychiatrist to help him to cope with his loss so he could find a way to move on with

What an amazing memory, @popurri. I wonder what the large catch was! It must have been a very big fish. Thank you for joining our new creative nonfiction initiative!

This is a richly told memory, and will remind many people of important and meaningful moments in their youth. Thank you for sharing your creative nonfiction piece in The Ink Well, @sapphireissafy!

Wonderful! I will, @olga.maslievich.

Very interesting thoughts about the teachings of impermanence and how that affects culture and thought, @dswigle. I will admit to not having solid knowledge on the topic. But my son has become fascinated

For a play on words, I think we can leave the impression that they are the same and that could create funny moments. Oh yes, definitely. Those two words are perfect for that. And some people do actually

What a beautiful city, @olga.maslievich. I'm so happy your home town has remained standing, and I pray it will continue to withstand the horrible effects of the war. I had not heard of the #SaturdayMemories

Thank you, @wwwiebe! Yes, it's very time consuming to carve really fancy pumpkins. And they have to replace them every four days!! Can you believe that?

Thank you so much, @kemmyb! Next year will be a better anniversary, as I won't spend it in the hospital. 😄

It was really a splendid event! I'm so glad we went!

We do love our pumpkin festivals! Thank you for stopping by, @lex-zaiya.

I really like how imaginative this story is, @kei2. It takes us to another place entirely! I love the magical quality of the story, and how the hooded woman represents several things, including (I think!),

There's nothing like a vulnerable young woman in a frightening setting to get me to sit up and pay attention! I had several theories about who the stalker might be. Of course a monster or a zombie came

Wow, what a lovely trip, @dswigle. I have never hike the AT, though I’ve walked parts of the Pacific Crest Trail. This is such a gorgeous time of year to spend time in the woods! The phone in the woods

Wow, cool scenes and fun destinations @bluemoon. I agree with you about the English language. It’s a wonder so many people successfully master it! For the record, though (giggle giggle) beach and bitch

Lovely story, @itsostylish. I would done the same thing Gina did, whether or not my back hurt! Who could resist the downy softness of that beautiful white bed? The story arc is very good. We feel her terror

Those are some powerful thoughts, @spandanlink! The troublesome thing about death is that we can't know it until we get there. We don't know if it will be dark or light, or if we will have any sort of
