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!
Thankee muchly!

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. |

| 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. |
