Is it slightly fangirl-ish of me that I see your username next to a thread title and I go "OMG yaaay?" xD
Moving on...
Another interesting concept... a bit short, but sweet the way it is. It's almost like a six-word story -- you know, the "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." Short but powerful and leaves a lot up to the reader, but in a good way. Leaves a lot to the imagination. I feel like I need to mull this over in my head for a bit to fully understand the message you're trying to convey here.
But it's good! Short, sweet, and powerful. I'm definitiely going to need some time to digest this one. ^_^
Stop being so awesome. Studies show it's unhealthy. =P

Thanks for the reviews. Certainly, I am pleased that you found this funny, but there is something serious here as well. Ezra Pound is famous for his two-lined poem. Tell me: why doesn't this qualify as "literature"? What is literature, anyway?
I don't know. Most of the time I get yelled at for using too much flowery language, for wasting words. I write simply and concisely, and get yelled at for that too. You can't please everyone, I suppose. But I have more intentions here than to make you laugh. Don't let the simple be confused with the shallow, I would advise.
No, I didn't mean to yell at you! I was just... surprised?
I guess it's not what I was expecting and therefore caught me off guard. I think it is very well done, but maybe just not the kind of literature I love.
Looking back, I did miss a lot. I like it a lot more now that I am re reading it.
It's not pointless. I never write anything pointless. I'm not saying it's deep or fantastic or magnificent, but it's not pointless. And if it's nothing other than enjoyable, so what? Who says what we write has to be anything other than enjoyable?
It seems like one of those pieces that leave everything up to the reader, almost like "The Lady and the Tiger." (which everyone should read, by the way...)
I love the fact that the adjectives describing Big Foot are scientificalesque.
And, perhaps more than anything else, I love Big Foot's nonchalance.
Very, very good.
