    • This is good. The way you opened it and then drove your message home. Nice xoxo

    • Thanks Fia….some days for whatever strange reason seem more difficult than others but you learn over time that it will pass…..I’m good by the way.💋

    • LOL great ending, Peter. There’s definitely a lesson in this and you detail it perfectly. Thanks for reminding us each day, and each deed counts.

    • This is such a solid message. And that ending…fantastic landing!

    • Thanks Mary……you’re on my heroes list.
      💋

    • The number of times I wake up in the morning and complain about how I don’t want to do whatever thing it is I have to do that day. This reminded me so much of that. It’s all about the choices we make every day, at least to control the things we can control.
      And the twist at the end… really wraps it up in an interesting way.

    Keep An Eye On That Boy!

    My great grandmother lived to be ninety-six years old. She lived through both world wars and the Great Depression. She passed in 1986, I believe. We visited her every Sunday without fail.  From the time I was born till I...

    • Well, that was an event, and I think you still did not pass that bulb since you still light up my friend. Enjoyed this piece. Oh, I do not like tomatoed based baked beans either. lol

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the story my friend. Well, thank you! What a thoughtful compliment, cuz. I like baked beans either way, but I do think it’s better without a tomato base. Appreciate you.

    • I thoroughly enjoyed this story, Damian. I love the simplistic history that makes us all humans deep down, no matter if we try to hide it.
      I have very vivid memories of one of my grannies. She was a tiny firecracker. Snap a chicken’s neck and yet tend to our little boo-boos with TLC with the same hand.
      Burger Chef rocked!
      Wonderfully vivid write, it kept me enthralled.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mark. So glad you enjoyed the story my friend. Cool, somebody remembers Burger Chef. lol. It is the simple things in our histories, that really show our similarities as human beings, couldn’t agree with you more. Grannies, are just different, in a good way. Appreciate you.

    PIG DOG

    In the weight of the dark  Unseen hounds bark Boots a heavy thunder  Streets torn asunder  Beating on the night  Alleys with no light  Eyeballs record  Pig Dogs getting bored    Rough grasping hands Round the tender glands  Felt from head to heel Out comes the steel Claws around the wrist  He didn't...

    • Thanks for reading.
      I am full of anger sometimes.
      It’s good to write it down.
      Regards James

    • Yes I agree.
      It’s better on the page than hurting yourself or others.
      Regards James
