Goddamn Roger Weaver. Thank you for being good at making me feel good about myself. I'm glad you liked whatever you liked and wondered about whatever you wondered about in "Refugees".
You're right on one factoid. Our communications these days in general tend toward the truncated.
I actually joined fictionaut to get some keyboard time on flash fiction. Occasionally the stories get longer and I don't post them here. I find I like to write brainless noir stuff. A literary novel takes me four or five days to read. A Jesse Stone novel, one day. I enjoy each but find I can read more Jesse Stone and so do. You are what you eat.
Your observations on Refugees were interesting and instructive. What I will do next - specifically based on you input - will be to decide to crawl back through the tunnel into the basement apartment next door. I'm sure there will be an encounter with Big Bobby.
Who knows what might happen. But for you I might have just let Refugees be a refugee.
Thanks again.
You know, I commented on your story, which I liked. It just ocured to me you might personally enjoy Go Go Girls of the Apocalypse by Gischler. In a number of aspects your story is better - funnier and might be lengthened into a longer form.
Although the content is different I see in your story some of the things I love about the Brown Dog series by Jim Harrison.
I've worked in bookstores for over half my life now. I was part of Jack Roth's Yellow Pages Poets and worked in his store for free--until he could pay me!I still buy vinyl too.Thanks for mentioning David Sedaris.
The current rewrite of Refugees is posted. Thanx so much for suggesting. (It may not be the last either.)
