Loved it :)
Very nice!
Keep 'em coming Jason :)
so much can be revealed of a person's character by the staccato yes or no answers!
This is an amazing piece!
...think I'd be finding a new friend!
I'd pour the red wine over it. I can't drink the stuff! :)
Great writing as always Jason. Loved your comment on my blog btw. :)
I read that as Date Fail!
I thought maybe date, but then I thought maybe young child with unceasing questions. :-)
I've been a terrible blogger lately. Should I blame it on general INFP flakiness? No. It's Spring! Outside WAY more than in. I finally got back to read the rest of Seed. Whew! Excellent. Sister Moon is also finished now for your reading pleasure.
Hmm. Someone who will waste neither wine nor skin cells protecting my coiffure. Prudent, but somewhat lacking in loyalty.
This was curious and funny. I love the "yes or no" answers in the dialogue!
To quote Alice In Wonderland - curiouser and curiouser. What a lot you learn from a simple yes/no answer. Do I like wine? No. Do I like fireworks? Yes. Would I put out flames with my pay cheque? No, I'd grab somebody's wine.
Another awesome piece!
Hehe, very inquisitive.
Chatterbox, I should do more really bizarre things here. Not just the mildly weird.
Mona, I think this is the third What If, Would You piece that I've done. I have to say that I've developed a real liking for these two.
Karen, wise, very wise.
Tabitha, but not the white wine or the tequila, right?
Bernita, ha! Yes!
Catvibe, I agree. Spring is way more important than stopping over here. Glad you enjoyed the rest of SEED, though! Early on, you warned me that I'd better finish it.
Laurel, I'd go for the hand, myself. Skin heals, after all. And it's the fastest intervention.
Petty Witter, now that's the right approach! Why deprive yourself of your glass when someone else's is right within reach?
Meghan, thank you kindly!
Oddyoddyo13, it's bizarre, yes.
"Would you bring a fire extinguisher??"
"Yes."
Thank you for your comment btw, love the phrase, "gun and guts report", perfect!!
Martha, ah, see, there you go. You'd be the brains of the operation. :) You're welcome for the comment!
Well the answers were totally logical Captain. :)
