Cold Hands, Warm Heart Well, that was going to be the name of today’s entry. Two things got in the way of my being able to use such a clever little title. The temperature is supposed to go up to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, setting a new local record for this date. And maintenance has apparently…
Not a good end to the day last night. The Socialist did something that upset a lot of people, and when I tried to tell him why they were upset he got angry. The unspoken accusation was that I was being disloyal. He threw a few articles of clothing around the bedroom, told me to…
One of the great signs of spring made its appearance in my area last week. It’s my favorite sign of spring, as a matter of fact. Yeah, crocuses and daffodils and robins and new green leaves are very nice. Potholes emerging on busy streets, with victimized hubcaps strewn haphazardly along the side of the road…
I mostly added the coffee part for alliterative purposes, but I’m sure I’ll find a way to work it in. Indiana Cat continues to reside in the basement room. His last fecal tested negative for all parasites, so I’ve tried to allow him supervised run of the house on a handful of occasions. So far…
It would appear that I need to give the company doctor more credit. Unlike what I was given to expect, this morning’s check-up wasn’t any big deal. He’s willing to let me continue with my duties here at work, so long as I don’t over-do. I’m perfectly willing to comply with that; it rather fits…
perhaps the questions we do not ask are the only ones we must voice a fool will ask less than he could and so learn only that which he knows
"On the day Agnes died…" Is this Nadia? The name threw me for a loop when I thought another character was being introduced.
I like it though!
Alli
I was going to make the same comment as Alli….
I also enjoyed it! I don’t know that I could have done that. I tend to ramble on and never get to the point. Great job!!!
Megan
I liked it too! It drew me right in.
Damnit, still can’t access your friends only entries :(.
Ah, those ARE a lot of constraints!
AND having to name the characters in meaningful ways…. could set me off into the looney bin.
I ALREADY have a hard time naming in my stories….
But it’s true, writing to parameters DOES make you stretch. Paramiters? Paramaters?
Specific requirements! There!
Hope you get a good grade.
Very nice. Well done. I like the name Nadia. My bf’s father died of Leukemia. Some rare form not discovered until it was much too late to do anything about.
Best of luck with your writing class!
I too liked it, however it does not "feel" you are writing this.
I love your usual style…long, rambling and stops along the way about all the little interesting facts you normally *ramble* about.I love it when you stop us readers in mid sentence to smell the roses.
I was left feeling *I want more*. Does that make sense? Sort of got the bread without the filling.
I echo what Elf said.
