There is nothing new for me to add because the other comments have covered my feelings quite well. Since I am not easily deterred, I will risk being redundant and tell you what I think anyway.<BR/><BR/>This is the best prose I have read in a while. I hope it turns into a book that you will share with the rest of us. It is usually hard to convey so many true emotions-eeriness, pity, sadness, hope, and closure-in such a short piece without cutting corners. Somehow you have managed to pull it off. I tip my hat to you or at least I would if I wore a hat.Ericahttp://hoobahswife.spaces.live.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6496460488742488789.post-41048408667661110152009-01-02T10:50:00.000Z2009-01-02T10:50:00.000ZWow!<BR/><BR/>I'm really knocked out by the positive reaction I've got to this little story over the past day or so.
