Nice story dude!

I really enjoyed the dialogue in it. It almost seems like it would read very well as a short stageplay or even a short screenplay. I've written a few short stories myself but my dialogue has always seemed artifical. When I took a stab at screnplays I failed miserably Sad

I abandoned the short story scene and have restricted myself to sonnets as of late. Latest one (though five months old) is on the following:

Most of my art is music and landscape photography these days. My short story days have long since passed Smile

thanks!

writing is what brought me here in the first place (that whole word processor thingy)

i minored in poetry comp (majored in engineering) but even then rhyme is just out of my grasp. the ones i did write, well, uh, suck. =)

on a side note, the similarites between poetry and code are striking. (discuss)

dialoge can be hard, it is all about the real but not thing.

not much of a musician, though i did make a song with garageband loops =)
