COngratulations on the publication! Very interesting story with a powerful voice.
That's such a perfect last sentence: "Time kept running at me, flapping its salty deck in my face like A/C." Love the way you write, Ann.
Thanks, Gill, for reading and for your comment. Kathy, I think of you as my ideal reader.
Exceptional piece, Ann. Enjoyed.
Sam, thanks so much ...
Love your piece. I feel swept away by your prose. Your rhythm never lets go. Great venue also. Congrats!
Ann, lovely work, Congrats!
Thank you so much, Bill and Susan!
I want a t-shirt that reads "Salty Deck"! Congrats!
Thanks, Kate!
"I said they can write a poem, too: anyone can! They said they didn’t want to write a poem. They said they were too busy working to write poems." Yes, indeed. This made me laugh out loud, Ann. Nice work.
Thanks, Joani!
Joani picked my favorite line. Your style is always both curious and witty. Congratulations.
Thanks, JLD!
Congratulations Ann
Congrats, Ann! Super story, made me giggle, which I needed. Peace...
Gloria and Linda, thanks. I'm glad the story produces a little humor -- considering its subject -- especially for the murder survivor! I wrote that to a writer who saw it at FB, and he wrote back, "what murder?"
I loved this, Ann!! Big congratulations on the publication at Mad Hatter's Review Blog!!! Nice!!
Oh, Meg, thanks for reading!
