I LOVE the vintage feel your stories have to them sometimes. I adored the line about your mother not worrying because you’re the nerd lol
Aw, waiting for a kiss only to be told you ‘feel like a cold cow’ is not good. This maintains a solemn, hopeless tone throughout. Very well written.
@ lostgirl So much of growing up is funny in hindsight. Too bad it isn’t so funny at the time ;)
A moment in time perfectly captured.
A cracking entry to a challenge I had no original ideas for – this certainly isn’t typical mistletoe mush! Brava!
Haha I liked that. I didn’t even grow up in 1978 and I still got every reference in there. Nice job!
@steve s, mostly, and abstract Thanks. Glad to bring it back to life for a moment.
VERY efficient exposition and a wonderful evocation of a time and place. A cozy setup and a melancholy moment of hopes dashed.
