I tried to read all of the stories but simply didn't have time. The ones I read I tried to comment on, but sometimes words escaped me, and I had to go and never made it back. I read every one of the people who left me a comment, and if I did not return the kindness, my apologies, I just get overwhelmed and speechless now and then.<br /><br />Great fun though, and well worth the time invested!Michael Morsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07451637745981389920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-15557627272332081972011-07-25T16:23:46.002-04:002011-07-25T16:23:46.002-04:00Michael - I loved this story.

Its better to keep mum about how it eventually did turn out. <br /><br />Your protagonist has a voice that is a mix of superiority, sorrow and humbleness, that is just so hard to write down. Reminded me of the film 'Angels in the outfield'. Though, those angels didn't hold back.Aniket Thakkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18311954967682696734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-82997222700942464402011-07-18T03:55:50.898-04:002011-07-18T03:55:50.898-04:00Fun, and thought-provoking too.Fun, and thought-provoking too.Cath Bartonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-61339918747069119992011-07-17T22:53:26.728-04:002011-07-17T22:53:26.728-04:00Really?
