Amazing story that almost paints a picture of another world with a surprise twist at the end. Good to see you back and good luck in the contest.

Thanks. Good to see you again, too.

And you were all in a funk because you didn't think you had anything to say! Hah, now let's see those fingers flying over the keyboard once again.

I was just blowing the dust off an old one. I may post it.

'...almost paints a picture...' I thought the story did, and quite well.

Congratulations on overcoming the block! I have used rewriting my old stuff from time to time as well. It causes me to "capture the mood" so to speak. On another note the first thing anyone on Lit (Paco Fear) ever told me was to get rid of the word almost . In pretty much every case it sounds bad.

I had mentioned my charcater having almost porcelain skin. I forgot his exact wording but it made sence and I see it in that comment "almost paints a picture" I know it is a very positive comment and thats what the guy was getting across but the almost made it sound slightly as if you failed.

You obviously did not and did not mean to redirect the post but that just really stood out to me.

It almost stood out to me too, but I decided to ignore it.
