Wow, Jimmy.

This one wandered a bit and I was wondering where it was going.

The red spot was an interesting tidbit woven throughout which finalized the story in a fascinating way.

Wow.

The unconnected connectedness gives me a “everything in the universe is connected” kind of feeling. And I like that feeling. And I like how I feel when I read this story. This is one I’ll come back to time and again.

That everything is connected feeling prompted me to write it. It just took me to places I didn’t expect

When I’m choking on nothing but my breath I know I’m in the presence of or have read something this stunning. Not an extra word. All visual that penetrates my chest, mixing with some memory. Killed it, J.

Thanks Patris. As much as I really liked it I wasn’t sure if I had a winner. Now I know I do. I might take the paywall off and see if it has legs

Whoa, Jimmy, that was an amazing take. I'm pretty sure everyone knew it had to be blood, why else mention it, right? But the way you tied it all together. Magical. Brilliant!

Give that one one more read. There’s a time thing, though I’m fine with it conjuring blood in a reader’s head.

No such thing as a coincidence. No such thing as the spirit world either. Nice story.

Just re-read this one and still like it very much. It’s a sad story.

One never knows the hidden meanings behind some of the seemingly mundane objects around us, especially an individual's inner subjective hidden meaning. It's not just a cute frosty cattail anymore.
