Poor Imp

Ahoy Forever! Some of the images in this stood out neatly. In particular, ones that made me wonder, or elicited a visceral response, were, Sometimes, by our oral weapons / ...

Hullo! In brief: -- Nice hook (end-of-world) -- Character set up -- tension between "insane" Lewis and Ansel, Lewis's need, Ansel's ambivalence -- Like the use of imagery, balanced description, ...

That was brilliantly honest. I don't know what's going on in detail, but your intensity, the depth to which you feel and care, and your ear for catching and writing ...

I bloody love that you paint your town with metaphors and images. Very Emily Dickinson; feels like the truth slant, and slant truths often do us the favor of kicking ...

Ahoy! Out of curiosity, how did you feel as you wrote this? Waiting for a new idea to come, so I can be done, and walk outside to sit in ...
