Were you? Never mind.<br />Don't know if I can surprise you but I will continue to pen whatever crosses my mind.Ellenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14965850008354379369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716167623179741489.post-74808605870980069772013-07-03T13:30:31.160-04:002013-07-03T13:30:31.160-04:00I have no inclination to comment on the morality o...I have no inclination to comment on the morality of this encounter. What does my opinion matter on such a thing? But, if it's of interest, I will say (as I've said before) that the style in which it is written is unique. Mainly to do with what is missed out. Not just adjectives (how admirably parsimonious you are with those) but facts that might be expected and which, in retrospect, turn out to be unnecessary. Short sentences too. Like very early Hemingway but not as mannered, less strained. A wealth of life may be inferred between the first and last lines and yet so little is spelt out.<br /><br />Keep on writing, please. Keep surprising me, even if I'm reaching the stage where this is what I expect.<br /><br />Note: I think you have left a comment on my most recent post - Beware! This may qualify as serious - which should have gone elsewhere. <br />Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716167623179741489.post-15294924775885570472013-07-01T18:52:13.286-04:002013-07-01T18:52:13.286-04:00Lucy, Tom and Halle!

He carried this around with him, never telling anyone for so long. <br />I couldn't find words for my brother either. I now wish I had hugged him harder and longer. <br />Tears for the children. <br />Unnamable hatred for those who would do such a thing to a child.Hallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03847654451426257182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716167623179741489.post-2225293809017643952013-06-29T03:00:31.526-04:002013-06-29T03:00:31.526-04:00From the time you first posted this item I have st...From the time you first posted this item I have struggled to find a suitable response.
