I noticed almost every monster was voted human. They blend into a troubled person, groom him, do all sorts of toture and kill their victom. Most of the most horrible "monsters,' claim they don't know. Gary Ridgeway, the Greenriver killer, said, "it's that caring thing." None of there serial murders stop killing until they are caught. Usually the killer gets more enjoyment and make a mistake.
Hello Friend,
I am not much of a cross word person, but I've somtimes done well and not so good. The last time, in the hosptial, one of my new friends asked me, "What is the color of a horse starting with "R?"
I didn't skip a beat and told him, Roan." That was a hard answer, and some people my never figure it out. But being so extetensive ADHD, cross words pussle me to death. I may see what I can do later. I'm working on three conests.
This is a great story. I liked the way you turned the contest into one person. The story was well written.
He did some pretty brave things, as well. Your interesting story is a winner. I loved the ending, "Out of the new silence came a booming voice,'you are in helll. This is the seventh day of eternity'. ", That is so cool!
I just finished your short poem, "The Punishment of Man." I have never read a poem about the Greek gods before. I took mythology in college, but that was a long time ago. The characters are my favorites, especially Aphrodite. But Zeus is very cool, as well.
We named some our horses and mules after the Greek Gods. Athena, Atlas, Arachni and Thor were their names. They may actually be Viking names, but I am fairly sure they were Greek names. Athena lived to be thirty three years old.
I also enjoyed the dialogue between the gods. It all sounds like something they would say. I especially like the ending when Hermes said, "There is only one trouble that we have that humans so not have."
The rest of the gods agreed that man needing a woman for trouble!
"Hermes, fetch the clay."
Anyway I did enjoy your poem and it made me chuckle. I am going to read it to my husband when he gets home from work in a couple of hours. He writes poetry. I mainly write non fiction stories about my animal adventures.
I just finished reading your great poem about the Black Stallion. I gave it five stars. I found the poem very original and I want my husband to read it, as well. He loves poetry and even writes poems about me and my escapades. One of your lines, "He goes back to racing the wind, although he has already won," was one of many that stood out.
I used to raise horses, donkeys and mules, so your poem really touched me. I live in the city now, and had to sell off my herd. I gave my Belgian mare to a good friend and my half arab mare. Gertrude (I wrote a story about her) died at age 25 and Athena made it to 33 years. I miss all of my livestock. I wrote a couple of stories about my spotted mule, Top Hat 'n Tails He won the Versatility Hall of Fame twice.
Do you have any horses? You really do love horses. One of friend's black stallion was in the movie, "The Black Stallion" as a stand in. His name was Jerico and he is a lovely horse. My favorite horse was my Tennessee Walking horse. She was so smooth I could ride her all day.
Again, I loved your poem.
Keep up the Good Work.
I will read more of your port when I have time. I spend a lot of time outside with my critters.
The photos you sent are great. You must live in a beautiful place. I like the rooster picture, among others. I have four laying hens. We bought them when they were a day old. We had eight, but only four were hens. My friend, Beverly, who lives on a great farm took them off my hands. We now live in the city and poultry and livestock are illegal to keep.
So we don't dare have a rooster. He would awaken the neighbors, whose houses are quite close. They know about the hens because we give awat a lot of eggs. But they all like the chickens and as long as nobody calls and complains, we have no problem. The girls can make a lot of noise sometimes.
I love your pictures of the wonderful sunset and tropical photos. Where do you live? I live in Charleston, SC and our winters are mild. So we always have flowers and vegetables in our raised bed garden. We also walk about four miles a day. The insects never die off.
How did you post your pictures? I have a few more of me and the buffalo and a wonderful picture of humpback whales. I would like to use the whales as my sig, but I don't know how to do it, and have asked several people. No one seems to know, either.
It is supper time and then bed time. I am in bed before nine o'clock and wake up early. I have a lot of chores and animals.
Again, I love your pictures and gave you five stars. I rarely give more than three or four stars.
I meant to review "Were-creatures" sooner. It was interesting because it is all new for me to read. I like to watch were wolf and vampire movies. Your story is one of my favorites. Again, sorry I waited so long to read the story. It was worth going back for!
Sincerely,
Lesley
I just finished reading your funny story, "There Could be Tigers." I found it both interesting and also could identify with Jason. I am a bit of an agoraphobic, myself. I thought is was great that Jason finally found a loyal friend. Most people will ignore any one with a disability. I have Bipolar and when I am depressed, I don't even get dressed.
If you make it to my port, the alligator story, "'Gator in the Road" you may want to read. Almost all of my stories are true, and I write about unusual experiences. I don't have any tiger stories. Really, the ending was a great twist!
I just finished reading your poem and I think it is beautiful. I don't write poetry, I just go by how it makes me feel. I have always enjoyed your writing and poems. This one made me feel like I was outside, relaxing. It is a great substitute for therapy.
I just finished reading your story, and I liked it a lot. The details and character kept me wanting to read your story. I loved your description of Star muching grass. I used to keep a herd of equines and lying on the ground, listening to their muching was relaxing. The fescue grass made their breath smelled wonderful. Again, I loved your detail.
I never read a story (poem) speak of the the way and spred it all arounf. For example packing axxy the childrens' old toys and cothes to other needey family. Families learn what it is to behave and are to take to theis parens, I get a warm feeling, Could you adopt me?

I think this will be a very successful contest. The pronpts may not deal with anything I can write about. The story I just sent is only slightly erotic, and I am up against a lot of talent. I just don't have any erotic thoughs in my head.
I will enjoy ebtering, wether I will or not win. I can learn more from the other contestancts.
Hello, I just finished reading your excellent story about an elderly woman, who is celebrating her one hundred and twentyth birthday. She told her great grand daughter that she would miss her birthday celebration. She wanted to finally meet Jesus face-to-face.
When Nataie's parent arrived, Granma had died in her sleep, a smile on her face. Instead of making me sad, this story brings joy to me that I will eventually meet Jesus when it is time.
I just finished reading your poem, "Iridescent Wing." The rhyme and descriptions were very good, I thought. The bird pecking at your window is supposed to be bad luck as I have heard. I liked the quote, "Mercy can be a beautiful thing, when displayed on iridescent wing."
I just finished reading your short story, "Believing in God." I am not super relgious myself. I think all religions have the same end and their own version of God. I also think the power of prayer is true. I meditate for my prayers. I also never ask for anything. I just "pray" for strength."
I just finished reading your excellent short story, "Passing Trains." Elizabeth became a real person only after a few sentences. Your description of the little boy on the train was also believable. The story had an interesting ending with Elizabeth's deep feeling. That is what I thought about your poem. I'm not a poet, but know what I like.
Yours,
Lesley
I just fishished reading your excellent piece of poetry, "Stormy Mind." I see a lot of that within myself, too.
I especially liked the last verse, " I know I have no clude what it all means for me; I wonder if the two of us will ever be; I fear more hurt is all I will incur...And choose to suffer through it all for a chance with her." That is so romantic. Maybe the chartacter should approach her and just say "Hi," and your name. At least she is alive, my only love is gone for good in a housefire.
Lesley
I just finished reading your story about, "My Entry ---WDC's Birthday. So far, your writing is different from the others I've been reading. It is straight to the point and wishes ?WDC a Happy Birthday. Most of us wrote stories that took a lot more words and paragrphs to set up their stories. You a have a good chance of winning, as you probably know by now.
Lesley
I enjoyed reading your story about "Thems that Walk Among us." The couple should have pained extra for a realtor. The parade of potential buyers were nuts that all they could do was find fault with the condo. The part about the strange lady, rubbing against the wall, making orgasmic noises because she needed a certain kind of paint was a real side spitter. I felt bad for the couple who couldn't find a buyer, but the story was just too funny!
Lesley
I just finished reading your interesting story, "Alone." I was such a good read, I am sure my husband would also like to read your story. It started out with Jim having some bad luck with the garaged door, but he walked outside and cranked up the truck left under a tree. At least the vehicle would be so hot.
Lesley
THis Movie page is great. I am glad I'm not the only Muppet fan. I noticed Maryann watches plenty of movies. I don't understand how she can find the time! She is so involved in so many acfivities here, at WDC. Honestly, I think she must only sleep a few hours a day.
I hope someone rents my favorie movie, "Prieval." It is action packed and the croc is too cool.

I always enjoy reading your stories, Gottagoose. The Prologe of "Keeping the Demons out," was just one more example of your talent.
One night, when he was very drunk, Kurt made the mistake of opening the door to the demons. Luckily, the crowd was able to takle the one demon and everything was fine.
Close to one hundred years later, citizens left Thurgaad and made a good home for themselves on the coast. But the loose demons found out and decided to pay the new town a visit.
I just finished reading your romantic poem, "Porcelain Hands." I am sure that your fiancee is very much in love with you because you are a sensitive person who wants to give her everything. The verses are all romantic and smooth to read.
I hope you get married soon and do keep on writing her romantic poetry.
Lesley
Hi, I just finished reading your poem "The Wild Feline." It was well written and flowed smoothly. I never gave a lot of thought that my cats worry about direction. I guess they don't need to. THey have me. But comparing domestic felines with wild felines shouldn't be too much of a stretch.
Your pups sure are cute, just as you promised. Is the black dog a lab or is he a mix? How old is he? From the picture, it appears he has some graying on his muzzle. The little guy is precious! He must be under a year old? By his markings, he is probably a bull dog or boxer mix. I am sure they know they are lucky to have you as a mom!
Love,
Lesley
