You know how...It's like an Edgar Allan Poe story! <br /><br />You know how much I love these "true stories" of yours. Yet another excellent job. The stanza: <br /><br />Simply, as if she disappeared<br />to that land of lost socks and<br />missing keys<br /><br />puts a malevolent twist on a typically innocent turn of phrase. Well done.<br /><br />Happy post-Thanksgiving!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14397387.post-42737938353944236372006-11-26T17:20:00.000-05:002006-11-26T17:20:00.000-05:00I like the way you guide the reader in as though i...I like the way you guide the reader in as though it's a piece of magical realism, the whole piece has a fantastical feel to it, nicely undercut by the 'true story' title. horrific tale though. euggh.<br /><br />p.s. have you been suffering from unwanted feedback?claireylovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16691439928758477628noreply@blogger.com
