That sound! On the wind. The FFF is calling. Will you answer?
Thank you so much for the helpful critique. It's part of a three-part POV of short story exercises I set myself, the angel Gabriel, his child and his wife.
Just make sure nobody offers you Hemlock.
No worries! The corruption of children is far more important.
At the risk of hogging your scratchpad, here is your Monday guilt-trip for the microfiction circle. The circle-god demands blood, and cannot be sated unless we feed it microfiction!
Er, or it wasn't unworthy enough to have them thrown at it... Or something.

It wan't bad, right? That's what I mean.
I exist to please.

(And it certainly wasn't worthy of throwing vegetables at, anyway. )
Yeah, sorta. I was thinking of them as possible alternatives to express the things you already wrote. Looking back at what I did, it's hella confusing! Sorry about that...
Thanks for the critique on "She Can't Turn Back," it was much appreciated! It's funny that you find it kind of like poetry...is that a bad thing? I kind of like it for that reason!

About Firejade

Occupation: College English Teacher and writer
About Me: I have been working on an MFA in creative writing at Sewanee. Summer of '08 I took a workshop in poetry in graduate school, and this past summer I did a workshop in fiction writing. I have done several workshops in different genres, and find workshopping helpful. I have to decide what genre I want to settle on by next year, so I can start on my thesis. Finding time to write is tough while teaching five college classes, but I do what I can.
Interests: writing, teaching, friends, family, spiritual development, healing, yoga, nature, meditation, coloring mandalas, working out, movies, books, fishing, bluegrass music
Publications: New published poem:

A few things in the university art magazine.
Favorite Books: Dune, The Tao of Pooh, Sea Biscuit, Excuses Begone, You Can Heal Your Life, The Case for Faith, The Case for a Creator, The Mists of Avalon, The Left Hand of Darkness, Gone with the Wind, Shadow of the Moon, The Far Pavilions, older Star Wars, Leaves of Grass, Portable Thoreau, Little Women, Writing Fiction: A Guide to Narrative Craft by Burroway (I highly recommend if you are working on your fiction writing).
Favorite Movies: original Star Wars Trilogy, It's a Wanderful Life, V for Vendetta, Dances with Wolves, American Beauty, Braveheart, Gladiator, Sense and Sensibility, The Sound of Music, Lord of the Rings, Sea Biscuit, Walk the Line
Favorite TV Shows: House, NCIS, Ghost Hunters, America's Got Talent, A Haunting (I love ghost stories.)
Favorite Quotes: Where there is an open mind, there will always be a frontier.
Loves: Jesus, open minds and hearts, the sound the wind makes through the trees, windchimes, animals, the potential of the human mind and heart, the creative process, justice, shiney stuff, bluegrass, fuzzy sweaters in the wintertime, books
Hates: I prefer the word "dislike" for most things. I do not like feeling numb, bored, or complacent. Pushing myself into new territories and challenging myself makes me feel alive, but I also dislike workaholism. Sometimes, I just need to forget everything that's serious.
