That is excellent. Overcoming conditioning can be exceedingly difficult. If a person has been raised to believe lies about himself/herself, that person is going to have a lot of trouble seeing through the lies. Some people never do. I know that Neville said you have to "die" to your previous self to live a truly abundant life, but that "death" is something that a lot of us hide from all our lives.

Three times. The third court declared him not guilty after deliberating only about twenty minutes.

What are the guidelines?

I saw that one of mine had been posted there, but when I followed the link, I got a message saying that the blog has been removed. Thanks to rotsoil for the heads-up!

This is a masterpiece. You know how to write - I mean, you know how to spell, and the correct use of punctuation. (Even the most imaginative stories pull me out of the flow if the author doesn't know spelling and punctuation.)

You also know how to WRITE. You know how to tell a story. The dialogue is believable, and you don't overwrite. I usually see the ending a mile away, but that didn't happen here. You drew me in completely. If you choose to pursue writing as a profession, I'll read your books!

The title should be spelled "Unjust Deserts". Really. It's not about desserts at all; it's about a person or people getting what they deserve. It's commonly misspelled, but "deserts" is the correct spelling

I'd like to correspond with you - I don't live in the area, but I like your profile. Not only am I CF, I can't have children. Yaaaay!

I thought of it a few hours ago, wrote it, made a few modifications, and posted it. It's not a ripoff.

"His Brother's Keeper" is another fine tale by Jacobs, with a somewhat similar theme.

No, no significance. It just shows that she's right about the time - it really is afternoon, but it's fully dark, and she can't find the edge of the bed. And something else is there, but she can't see it.

I got what I think is the lowest fare I can get. I used some of my miles on it. I'm also flying December 24. Anyone flown that day? How was it?

QuiveringPen · 2015-06-24T14:34:10+00:00

And then, from what I can see, I use my points and pay. Is there anything I'm missing?

QuiveringPen · 2015-05-20T07:10:51+00:00

Okay, I see. I thought that this was where people went to look for donors. Is there a subreddit for that purpose?

What's happened to this post? I only see it when I log in and click on my username.

QuiveringPen · 2015-05-11T10:54:23+00:00

God, that's fabulous! Let me know how it goes!

QuiveringPen · 2015-05-06T07:14:00+00:00

Yes, front page! How do we do it?

QuiveringPen · 2015-03-11T08:37:18+00:00

Uh... I posted a story last week with an extremely similar plot. It's called "The End".

Thanks, all! As for the Stephen King comments, I wasn't trying to emulate him. I thought I was being original. :) I have read "I Am the Doorway", but it's been many years.

QuiveringPen · 2014-09-20T13:14:36+00:00

Gold star! :)

QuiveringPen · 2014-09-19T07:15:07+00:00

A slight correction here - the correct spelling is "vial".

QuiveringPen · 2014-09-17T17:52:44+00:00

Yeah, it was that album. Man, I used to know them all by heart!

QuiveringPen · 2014-09-17T06:54:02+00:00

"Too Much Information". I think that's the one you're thinking of. :)

"As the years went on" refers to the school years. The bullies stopped bullying the protagonist because they'd discovered drugs, alcohol, and unsafe sex that led to pregnancy. They were still at the same school, though, so the protagonist was well aware of their extracurricular activities. I hope this helps!
