What a wonderful, wonderful twist at the end. Such a compact, amazing story. I imagine almost every word must have been looked at very carefully. Bravo.

Such a tale and a duel of words. Magnificent.

Alternate Reality and Companion
northie commented on Parker Owens's story chapter in Alternate Reality and Companion
I find these mirror images of each other. The pink, rosy dreams of youth gradually subsiding into the reality of wiser, soured older age. The loneliness of earlier life giving way to later companionship, loving support. Reading them gave me pause for thought and some self-examination. To some degree, my experience of the first is again a mirror image. The second, well, I have been there. Without your resolution, though. But I have come closer now than I ever thought possible. -
You have prepared a tasting menu, a series of amuse bouche, a demonstration of a chef's talent. And the chef is very talented, as all these wonderful poems can tell. So well done, dear friend.

I have both in my present ... Just sitting down after a bout of ironing. Washing coming soon. Sundays are so exciting ...

Here is a crown fit for a deposed dictator ... or even ... Happy Birthday!

Yes, I have guilty thoughts about my unfinished or abandoned efforts. Thank for reading!

Laughter can be the best medicine. Thanks, moggy. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Greetings from a fellow inhabitant on the right side of the pond ... I'm not an habitué of chatrooms, but I'll keep an eye on yours.
-
Thanks, Def! I had such fun writing it.
-
Your praise makes me blush, dear editor. I'm pleased it was worth your distraction.

Hi, Sam. Thanks for reading, and I'm glad the ending was to your liking.

Thanks, Tim! Glad it passed the test ...

Prompt 52 Write from the point of view of a stack of paper sitting near a shredder Thud! “Watch it!” “Owh!” “That hurt!” “Help! I'm all bent and creased.” “Shut it, the lot of you! You're not at the bottom of the heap. I am.” “Oh, stop complaining. You'll just have to grin and bear it, won't you?” Brief, tetchy silence. “Why have we been moved, anyway? It was nice and warm next to the printer.” “And his desktop. Boy, when that gets going,

prompts Writing Prompts #610 & #611
northie commented on Renee Stevens's blog entry in Writing World
611 will be added to my list of possible prompts for Soul Music. Currently working on a response to Prompt 52, yes, 52. From 2011, no less. This will be appearing shortly as a standalone prompt. -
True enough. Completely untrue, Tim. There's a school of thought that anything out there on the web is automatically fair game. Huh ... It's not.
-
Thanks, tim. Even in fiction, life shouldn't be all hearts and flowers. Things happen. Glad you liked it.

One bad decision can lead to all sorts of problems. Geoff has forgiven him, but I'm not sure everything will be back as it was. Thanks for reading and commenting.

I know I'm rarely to be seen round these parts, but I can't resist sharing a piece I was playing in this time last week. Britten's Violin concerto was new territory for me, for all I do enjoy his music. It is wonderful, and the final few minutes are magical.

What a curious hybrid of an instrument - spent most of the time watching the player. Particularly when he was doing pizzicati behind the fingerboard - makes me wish I could see what was going on. Thanks, AC.

Humour does indeed help with most things life throws at you. I hope the mist disperses very soon.
-
Thanks for getting so involved, Gary. Tony isn't infallible, as demonstrated, so Geoff gets to flex his muscles in the relationship. Evens things out a bit, perhaps.
-
I'd never want to piss you off, Tim. But, Tony is only human, and one bad decision can have consequences ... As he found out.
-
Another one will be appearing in your inbox quite soon, dear editor. And thank you for your praise.
-
Well, the evening started out ok ... Pubs can be fine if you're with a friend or two, not so great if you're on your own, perhaps. Thanks for reading and commenting.
