yes the lower case i’s are on purpose.. it was a stylistic choice.

it’s funny how someone who has been hurt, strikes back, trying to cause the other person even a modicum of pain. Good insight.

wow.

Very good insight on how as people when we feel hurt by others, our first impulse is to lash out at them, then deny that we’ve been hurt at all.

I like your stylish choice… and I have to agree with the other’s very good insight!

Humm, interesting. I have the feeling that this is your dog talking to you. If it could…

p.s. and i always notice when you are gone.
You are an awesome friend and i really appreciatte you. You were so right in your card she did have strength enough for two. I am so scared without that now, it is hard, but people like you make it easier. I would never take the batteries out of you, you make me feel like someone believes in me. If someone believes in me , i can just believe in them when i dont believe in myself. Thanks elsha.

now now wyatt, you’ll be happy to know that my dog is becoming less insane every day, in fact he’s learned a new command “down” which is a HUGE step because he was never submissive before. And dogs love you no matter what, so i’m sure he never had these thoughts ;)
@MJY I believe in you.

Cute story, and I couldn’t help but imagine this as coming from the perspective of a pet dog. I know you threw in a lot of metaphorical stuff that would fit, but it seems the intent was it’s a human. Still, it was a more amusing read as I pictured the indignant little lap dog going off to the back of the yard to sulk.

lol indeed the dog perspective is amusing. i started with a dog metaphor and i stuck with it.. so i guess it works.

wow. i like it. its wonderful.

yeah, I think I was on the dog thing because of the stylistic choice of the lower case. Great story loaded with very potent and accurate vitriol. I decided by the end a dog wouldn’t be that eloquent, so the lowercase gave me like a passive aggressive connotation.

Oh, and what mighty joe sed:)

i’m fairly certain some of this is how my new kitten feels about me. I must start paying more attention to him….

very good!

Just reading through some old challenges and came across this story. I really got into it and felt the pain of this person who had been cast off. The dog/pet language was not lost on me, though I never assumed it was actually a pet. I’ve seen enough loved ones being ‘kept’ to know exactly what you were going for.
