Captures the moral dilemma perfectly. During my career, I was faced frequently with having to do what the regulations and policy directions of my bosses told me, and do the right thing, following my heart. I usually gave in and did what was needed, although I felt it was the wrong thing to do from a moral point of view. I always said, let's first decide what is the right thing to do, then decide how and if we can do it within the rules and regulations, and whether we can request a waiver to do the right thing. some of my colleagues were by-the-book types and did not consider my questions about the right thing to be valid concerns. All they cared about was whether we followed the rules, even if the rules were unjust or did not make sense, or were unclear.

a nicely done poem about guard dogs and feral cats. Reminds me of a famous thing a few years back. I saw in SF one day a man in a mohawk walking his dog. on top of the dog was a cat and on top of the cat was a white mouse. They all seemed to be best friends. A wild sight only in SF moment.

a bit long winded and rambling but great message, form and tone. I'd break into three of four more focued shorter poemspeh perhaps with a refrain at the end of each status the last line would work fine

great western story about inheriting a pair of cowboy boots from a famous gunslinger western bandit. I liked the flow, and the general story line. Two formatting issues though mar this story. it would read better if you changed the default fonts to a bigger font and also changed the default line spacing to double-spacing, and if you added an index to each paragraph. you can go to the icons above to do that fairly easily and if you make these changes your readers would appreciate it.

I disagree with your basic premises and your interpretation of the Bible and God's will. However, I applaud you for expressing your point of view in such a comprehensive a matter.in short, we will agree that we disagree.

Great background information on the Bigfoot legend. I am a believer that Bigfoot exist in the Pacific northwest mountains, which are largely unexplored and are big wilderness areas. I believe that we will eventually find Bigfoot and capture one or two and find that they are remnants of the old nenathadrals that someone survive.

great summary of how to create characters. I like some writers find characters organically. Many of them came to me in a dream, my favorite characters are all somehow related to each other

Sam Adams, who is sort of an Everyman paranormal researcher for the Cosmos Institute
and runs the UFO bar in Berkeley after retirement
Maria Lee his wife, also comes back as a female fatal character, and also appears as Sam's mysterious boss who may be part alien

Mr. Smith a mysterious deep state operative who may be alien

BIg Daddy who is a retired CIA operative who runs the Cosmos Bar in Bangkok

jake Lee friend of Sam Adams from childhood

Salmon Rubinstein owner of a bar in Berkeley


I have other characters that pop up here and there I have used Co-pliot a lot to research names and possible background for characters but will look at your resource list

A great story about wrath and how it can consume and overwhelm people turning everything into hate and fear. Wrath and the desire for revenge has been a constant refrain in the life of Donald Trump a poster child for the so called seven deadly sin

I liked this story about fairies, leprechauns, and other mystical creatures hiding from humans behind a wall of magic that for some reason had begun to break down, and the potential consequences if it broke down completely. Fortunately for them and us the gnome council was able to restore things, and their existence remains hidden.
