I was singing the song from the moment this story appeared in my email. So happy to see you went dark with it.

The beginning paragraph was visceral to the extreme, couldn't help but continue reading. After such a strong start it's not easy to keep the intensity throughout the story, you managed it though.

Oh, and you've got some seriously cool semicolon game. Chapeau.

This is heavy and true and at some level a metaphor for everything. How we got the power to make something as miraculous as a kid, despite our decrepit nature, is a testament to either the hardheadedness or blindness of nature itself. Or wisdom at some level I can only recognize in short flashes at times.

Thanks. My writing is bizarre, not for everyone, offensive and doesn’t make any sense. But I get a kick out of writing it so that’s all that matters.
