I initially planned on posting the story on the io9 writing prompt, but as I was getting towards the end, it sort of spooked me a little. <br /><br />Nice catch on the possible crazy / not crazy dialogue options. I thought about including hubby's responses for a moment, but since it was a monologue in itself, I didn't need them. :)DasNukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06513945470399592454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5392087297399488618.post-19666350728942241972012-04-29T09:26:30.917-07:002012-04-29T09:26:30.917-07:00Loved the line about a polite smile and puckered l...Loved the line about a polite smile and puckered lips!

It makes me wonder...and also realize that she could say anything and it doesn't have to make sense to us. But I doubt that is the case. Also, that her deceased husband's responses are unknown to the reader gives a lot of creative license to the writer. :-) Nice six!Teresa Cypherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940430996766842518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5392087297399488618.post-40005177692705841972012-04-29T06:40:01.009-07:002012-04-29T06:40:01.009-07:00Intriguing six, which involves getting into a very...Intriguing six, which involves getting into a very different mindset.Paula Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040623635956769807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5392087297399488618.post-90817554001509033342012-04-29T06:01:54.985-07:002012-04-29T06:01:54.985-07:00Thank you Jessica, glad you liked them. :)Thank you Jessica, glad you liked them. :)DasNukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06513945470399592454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5392087297399488618.post-47890716543783365812012-04-29T05:59:31.838-07:002012-04-29T05:59:31.838-07:00Thank Jess!

I imagine the grumpy old woman being someone who gets really annoyed, maybe even a little jealous of younger people living in the same apartment building. The sad thing is that only when the protagonist is in the process of visibly losing all her marbles (dementia - walking around without shoes),the woman finally overcomes her anger and takes pity on her - which the protagonists then misunderstands as concern not for her health but dirty socks. <br /><br />I like your idea of earth goblins stealing the boots, that what could have easily happened in the protagonists mind. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. :)DasNukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06513945470399592454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5392087297399488618.post-60465018212107721722012-04-29T05:19:12.328-07:002012-04-29T05:19:12.328-07:00So many things I want to know.

Does the woman never talk period or is she just anti-social, why do the to have so much silent interaction, what happened to get the socks so dirty? (if it were my socks I know it would have something to do with the earth goblins stealing my mud boots ... again)This six was so nice I hope you finish the story someday. Sometimes taking a break from it helps, gives the story a chance to grow up and come together in your mind.Jess Schirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930756756945812094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5392087297399488618.post-53666769071578117222012-04-29T04:10:26.221-07:002012-04-29T04:10:26.221-07:00LOL Nice six! :)LOL Nice six! :)Jessica E.
