Long story, even longer when I tell it…<br /><br />Cathy, Chuck, Boran, I'm glad it was worth reading again — and short enough to not be a drag!<br /><br />JohnW, I usually don't set out to write a specific length, except I try to stick to the 1000-word limit for flash. Like I said, the story took as many words as it took. And yes, I do dig Danni's flash too!<br /><br />Hi Michael — thanks and welcome to the free-range insane asylum!<br /><br />Monica, thanks much… and I'll bet you could even find a funny side to Death!<br /><br />Thanks Steve. Hey, do you have a blog for me to link to in the Wednesday Wibble?<br /><br />PJ, if I'd not written it I'd have thought he was a love-struck vampire. Thanks much!<br /><br />Mari, hooray! I like not leaving loose ends.<br /><br />Aiden, I began this with two words in mind: "we danced." I'm not sure how the Reaper got involved, but he gave me a little prod with the butt-end of his scythe and away I went! :-DLarry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-48650752566058996312011-04-22T23:29:10.906-04:002011-04-22T23:29:10.906-04:00Great closing line.

I guess stories of about 100-200 words are microfiction, but even that is impressive and fun in its own way. Exploring what you can do in the low end of the spectrum like in three hundred words is fun. We both dig Danni's fiction, right? And I dug this, kind of sweet and then kind of sour at the close.John Wiswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07416044628686736927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-62236024850845934512011-04-22T08:04:38.885-04:002011-04-22T08:04:38.885-04:00I really like this one, FAR.
