For some odd reason, I get many ideas while showering. So I guess if I doubled the size of the hot water tank, I'd be a more prolific writer...

Thanks to everyone for your great comments! This story has had more connection with folks than I expected. If Adele can make it big by tugging on the heartstrings, then so can I!

I tend to agree with Cathy. It's a complicated, fascinating world. Opening your eyes and seeing it, paying attention to the details and nuances, will give you one rich vein after another to mine for gold.

FAR... I've always felt that the children of the Creator God should themselves be creators. For myself, though, stories almost always come out of a moment of "What if..?", with a certain number born out of daydreams.

Is that a Muse in your pocket, or are you just glad to be writing?

My personal answer is that creativity is a reflection of the Divine, the "image" in which we were created. We create entire new worlds and populate them with our own creations, and sometimes we laugh and cry with them. MHO, as always.

Ideas are everywhere – as a species, we're usually just too busy to see 'em. All we have to do to get one is open our minds and, wham, they're there.

I always say: from my dreams. It is more complicated than that of course and sometimes not true. But it's true often enough.

When you look at the technological history as it went down in real life, Nazis on the moon with flying saucers is crazy, but not much more crazy than some of the other stuff that was actually developed.

I have to admit, though, that what irked me the most about that Abraham Lincoln trailer was that he was writing with a quill. It was the nineteenth century -- he would have been using a steel nib for sure. Sheesh!

A really nice, touching scene. Thank you, Tony.

Also thanks, Larry - your comment made me smile!

OH, we are on the same page. However your poem is much
more succinct and on target.

strange synchronicity, my #fridayflash ended up with someone in the death bed and a child at their side to watch them pass over.

Must be something in the air. Touching, very touching but he had as nice a death as possible it seems to me

This deserves a thousand sobs. It's so touching and sad without being heaped with melodrama.

Great story - accepting when the medicine fails will always hit us, however far we advance.

2012-02-11T09:07:17.623-05:00

This made me laugh, Tony. The number of friends dying to see it (myself included, if I'm being honest) and the amount of plugs I'm reading for it just boggles the mind.

Very witty write up.

That was a fun read - thought she was going to be a gonner...Tree vampires are a really neat idea.

When my excited boyfriend showed me that trailer, I scoffed. I mean, come on, Nazis in space? But you have a point - it certainly is creative and I know a lot of people who are eagerly awaiting the release. Apparently, people like creative.

Absolutely excellent and so compelling!

Touching, full of emotion and yet a sense of humour remains. I think you captured those last moments together just perfectly. Live long and prosper! ^__^

Nice job of bringing all the senses into play. And you portrayed an obviously warm and loving relationship amid the cold and sterile setting.

That was absolutely beautiful, Tony.

2012-02-10T16:07:00.233-05:00

That was absolutely beautiful, Tony.

2012-02-10T12:37:42.379-05:00

Very well written scene, Tony. Really makes me wonder what I would choose for the last song I hear, as well as the last smell, last conversation, last joke. I really like how this guy had things figured out.
