Allen, Great write. I'm a 55 year old dude with two teenage boys full of piss and vinegar. I taught them the art of backpacking and an appreciation of the great outdoors. Now they expect me to keep up. I like scenery much more than the manly pursuit to conquer a trail. Slow down, wait up and look around is my new mantra. I totally felt your pain. Most outdoor adventures are enjoyed far more afterwards in memory and sharing your memory with good humor and grace is appreciated. I like your writing style. You bring the trail and your characters to life. Thanks.
Fo9rever ago I took a date to the elementary school and we hit the swings at three AM. We swung and talked till daybreak and watched the sun rise. I don't remember the girl, just the laughter. Your poetry struck another chord. Write.
Sarah, This story moved me. I loved your imagery and instantly felt the depth of your characters, which is not easy in a short story. Excellent write,. I'll read more.
Timtu, I like this story. I feel for Amelia (damn spell check changed her name) and I like the fast paced action. I'm going to read your portfolio this morning and enjoy your talent. Thanks.
Very well written heartwarming story about two strangers, well one stranger and his son. I too had a special bond with my grandfather that went very deep. He loved to talk work which bored the hell out of me, especially when each story was told for the 5th time. On long trips I would guide his stories by asking him about times and places he'd been and those stories will stick with me forever. I like your style and honest account. Keep writing and I'll keep reading. Yours in. word.
What a great Sunday morning read. You took me down your memory lane and gave me a sunny day. Excellent writing. I hope you have many picnics to share with your loved ones. Thanks for the warm fuzzy.
Tom, This is the second story of yours I read, I liked The Sound too. You really make the characters come alive. I saw them clear as day in my mind. I kept waiting for a happy ending and am glad there wasn't one. The angst of youth is freighting as hell and you captured it perfectly. Keep writing and I'll keep reading. Yours in word.
