I love this John. This is so beautiful.

And my 13 year old son says, “You are a cool poet dude!”

I, too, long for the days before we were shoved into the Void; Vanished, Vanquished, Vilified. With this piece the Revolt begins; a call to pens all who are ready to Retaliate, Revivify and Re-Validate the lost art of creative writing. Vote for Gyppo as Re-Creator of the Reader’s Universe!

Comment on On The Train - By Melonie Magruder by Faerie♥Kat

I love the way you reconnected the two women on the train, the young woman in pink gloves and the woman observing her response to the “war of the sexes,” by having the woman purchase her own pink gloves, which indicates to me that after her interview she’s decided that “I really don’t care, anymore, I really don’t. I’m, like, so over it” when it comes to the “war of the sexes” in the business environment (witness the male banter before the elevator and derogatory remark by Shapiro’s “wingman”). So, did she get the job? I think I hear her saying, “Who gives a f***? I’m hungry.”

I, too, think the dialog was very natural. The changes of perspective and location were a bit of a challenge, but were handled masterfully and added to the essence of the story.

I look forward to reading more of your work.

Good accounting that turns the tables by changing the players to show how wrong it has always been in the history of the world when those with more powerful weapons use them without conscience.

Good story that highlights the Olympic-size efforts we go through to buy something or see someone at a concert.

This is such a beautiful piece of writing Bomber. I’ve read it several times—just stunning.
Congratulations! I hope Don Campbell’s family gets to read this! They would be so honored.
This is a well written piece of history……..so tragic. I feel the mood of shock, awe and sadness of that day. How you did that with your words is just brilliant.

Hi, dear Kat…another faulty Cranston Irish/fey family trait…we get so excited we forget that sometimes the “devil is in the details!” Correct my title to read: “A Tale Twice Told” (originally dictated by Iamma Imp (nondeplume) to and transcribed by…who else? Reading your story for the second time…all that talent being thoroughly enjoyed!

Dear Kat….as a babe, you I held in my arms in the land of your birth, California, and have oftened wondered how you “turned out!” … Richard put me in touch with this website only today….I love your gift of story-telling! Would you believe that I, myself, have penned a fairytale entitled “A Twice Old Tale” for the 65th reunion of my high school class in September…could this be a family trait? Please get in touch with me, Kat. My crystal ball is glowing!!! Auntie Betty Lou
