Tiger

Well, unless Steve can somehow top CJ's evil cliffhanging mastery, I do think the title is worth consideration.

Wow! That was a sad story. The irony was fantastic though. Myk, you are an awesome short story writer. I wish I had more to say, but it's late and I'm a little tired. All I can say is that the story is superb!

CJ, he was copy/pasting what you posted at the end of the chapter. Since the last several chapters (I've lost count) have ended with evil cliffhangers, it is now becoming expected. Only one other author on GA (sorry Steve not you) has ever had so many evil cliffhangers in succession, and yours are much more devious than his. Why don't you just admit that you are, and will always be, the undisputed King of Evil Cliffhangers. We all know you are the only one truly worthy of the title.

Today, I took my friend, Lori, to the bus stop. I have known her for over six years now, and she has decided to move to California. She had been in a relationship with my cousin for a while. Anyway, it was not going well and she decided it was time to pack her bags and move for good. Personally, I don't hold it against her, though some might think I would. She is doing what she had to do for herself. It seems that she has had enough of being miserable. In her situations, I'm sure I would have done the same. I wish her all the best, and I hope she enjoys her life. Still, I'm going to miss her more than I thought I would. Isn't it weird that we can't even admit to ourselves what a person means to us until they're gone? I know that's terrible, but it's the truth. I have been thinking about my own life as well. At some point, I would like nothing more than to do the same thing. I need a fresh start in my life. I certainly wouldn't mind hopping on a bus and getting as far away as possible.

I like your avatar a lot. I love the facial hair especially too. Did I mention that you're hot?

1. My avatar is a tiger, one of my favorite creatures and also my screen name. 2. I chose it because I am fond of tigers as they are magnificent creatures, powerful ambush predators who can take down animals twice their size. They're also beautiful and majestic. I like to think I have some of their attributes as well.

Welcome to the forums. I hope your health is improving and that you don't have to spend any more time in the hospital.

It really does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that the chances of survival are slim to none. I suppose we'll just have to wait and find out.

I will have to remember that if and when I visit France. Are there any other foods you suggest in France?

I'll take your word for it. I don't know if I could ever eat them. I'm sure they taste good. I just can't get past what they are.

There's an Italian dish I am not even about to try. It's cheese that has maggots in it. It's only a certain part of Italy, but I think there are Italian foods that are much more palatable. Thus, not all foreign cuisine is something of interest. I also have no intention of eating escargots.

Not having kids is actually a disadvantage. I really want to have children someday. I know it can be done, but finding a good womb donor one can trust is certainly not an easy task. I do consider adoption a good alternative, but some states don't allow it.

I once tried an authentic Pakistani dish called a kebab. Those are really good. They're actually widespread across the Middle East. The Mediterranean, and parts of Africa. They're delicious, and I highly recommend them. The variety I tried was beef.

My latest is called "Questioning".

That sounds like a plan, but do not forget how much CJ loves irony.

Happy birthday, Greg. I hope you're having a good one.

Your shyness makes you even cuter, Niels.

I just think you're hot. I'd get banned if I said anything more.

It's official. You're making me drool, Niels.

What effect might that be?

Sinead O'Connor "Nothing Compares 2 U"

Ben, that would not surprise me at all. His Shadowyness does happen to love misdirection and evil cliffhangery as he and The Goat are the resident masters of both.
