Your words have a way of slicing below the surface, to the core. The last two lines remind me of the lyrics, “ it’s better to burn out than it is to rust”. Keep shining, my friend.
I sincerely hope to meet you on the other side!

If they are keeping score like that, you would never break even. Nice piece

This is such an accurate telling. That quid pro quo system is so disappointing. And such a human trait, it seems

Powerfully penned, Thomas. Sounds like capitalism to me, and the force-fed propaganda woven into our heads on a daily basis. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

About the same time as your story, I was living in East Chicago, Indiana. Near Halloween there was a parade, and all the kids wanted to be in it. I had a play guitar, and my mom slicked my black hair back and drew some sideburns on me. My black leather jacket topped it off. As we walked, I was chosen for a talent contest at the local movie theater — like yours. A bunch of us lined up, a guy put his hand over our heads and people clapped. I won first place as Elvis — a little wiggle put me over. I won $10 too, so I figure I was the first paid Elvis impersonator ever! Ha! My mom kept half.
Oh, good write, as usual. I know I took up a lot of space, but that’s cheap online, huh?

Thank you. Hair was an important part of life for a lot of us.

I think you did well writing about the siren and showing that they are not evil. I like the flow of this piece.
