![]() ![]() ![]() Greetings, Vampyr14, and happy 8th 'birthday' on here! This is good, although it wasn't what I expected (few things seldom are today, it seems). You put a lot of imagery into this, and I like how you alternated what he was going through during the long winter months trapped in his house (for the most part) with his wife and making those 23 steps to the barn to feed the cows. But other than being trapped in the house, I'm not sure how the agoraphobia comes into play here. I'm a bit agoraphobic myself (there was a time when I couldn't even go into a grocery store!), so being alone with his wife shouldn't have bothered him. I did see that this is part of series about people who aren't suited for their profession, so I guess that has something to do with it. The ending was also a little vague, but I liked it. Maybe now I can see how letting himself be swallowed up by that 'manure-scented darkness' was a relief to get away from his wife! ![]() Well done, Vampyr14! Kee ponw ritin gon, my friend, and may you have many more wonderful 'birthdays' on WdC!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
