Let us suppose he can leap tall buildings in a single bound, that should be enough to claim he's a superman. To be sure, he's not the Superman of we'v...

In the search for a married bachelor, no matter how many worlds are searched, one will never be found. In the search for a Superman who isn't a Clark ...

I liked that story. I thought the level of evil was creative. I've often thought the best time to open fire on someone would be at New Year's, right w...

It was site like this one, where you post your stories, asked questions, debated whatever,, and the posters there were active, so they commented on yo...

I found you your more specific word, the "cliffed coast." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliffed_coast I just learned fjords must be by the sea, but ...

Got "The Philosophy of Modern Song" by Bob Dylan for Xmas. Dylan interprets songs by other artists. Skimmed through it so far. It's rambly and not ter...

I consider myself theistic, but was married in a courthouse the first time and in a secular ceremony the second time. My issue with religion is that i...

I don't get this. There is a 100% chance that we've had indisputable contact with aliens. For each item of evidence, it is disputed. You're assumption...
December 25, 2022 at 15:20
Yes, and I think it's equally true that much is assumed of the theistic view, in that it somehow requires adherence to a particular religious doctrine...
December 25, 2022 at 02:06
Yeah, but I gotta be me.

I agree the man was simplified into a sex driven man child, and we even learned he was fat brat and not an attractive one. It'd've been more interesti...

The distinction between fiction and reality for me is that in the former, we acknowledge the story has meaning because it was created by a designer, a...

After the first contest, I joined a creative writing forum for a short time and uploaded my story for comments. I did get some good feedback. Many of ...

It reminded me of the snake story where the snake convinces a little girl to care for it only to bite and kill the girl once saved. When asked why he ...

Here's a quote to pull in the final line that is criticized: "I never saw a wild thing feeling sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen from a ...

I did like the irony as well, where the openly and inappropriately sexually expressive priest was the appropriately behaving priest.
December 24, 2022 at 18:04
I didn't like it because I think it describes a cat being hit by a car, and I like cats more than most people, even when she shreds the furniture. I a...
December 24, 2022 at 17:59
I'm not in favor of encouraging those who disagree with a topic to avoid that topic so as to allow those in agreement to hold their conversations in p...
December 24, 2022 at 17:23
Realizing that the logical proofs for the existence of God fail isn't bigotry. It's just true. I saw them as a helpful way to learn the basic structur...

I spent some time confirming that there was a St. Augustine Catholic Church in Louisiana based on the crawfish reference. There was also a St. Martin ...
December 24, 2022 at 16:32
I'm not sure I am. If the argument is that time corrupts meaning due to whatever social, personal, or whatever changes occur, it's correct to assume s...
December 23, 2022 at 18:11
Let me comment on my comment. I like to introduce characters without explanation, as if we all know the same people. Kids do that, and I thought I'd d...

This story was a play on a famous short-story. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Clean,_Well-Lighted_Place#:~:text=%22A%20Clean%2C%20Well%2DLighted,Wi...

Thanks. You too. I got a Christmas smoked turkey instead of a honey baked ham this year. Saved a pig for you.
December 23, 2022 at 16:37
I found this that discusses the shock wave from getting hit. This is the same caliber, but different barrel, so we'll probably need to submit this to ...
December 23, 2022 at 16:18
See if you can do it by spelling it "pygmy." You're about to be seriously humbled.
December 23, 2022 at 12:36
Since everything occurs in time, asking whether something occurs in time is superfluous. The question "does meaning persist over time" is the same que...

You know guys, it'd take a lot of pressure off me if someone else could help out with the mindless chatter.
December 23, 2022 at 02:54
I made this loaf of whole wheat bread. It's rustic looking, like the kind you'd pull off chunks of and drink ale with it and talk like a pirate. /uplo...
December 23, 2022 at 02:52
Sure. So in the original Hemmingway version the old man was deaf. I think that's right. So I had thought this version should have had the old man sayi...

Just to give some insight into this cannon of a pistol. https://youtu.be/ULysvxSYfoU
December 23, 2022 at 02:34
Nah, it'd have been more realistic, with me holding onto the walls with the dry heaves.
December 23, 2022 at 02:31
My thought was how the gundude was able to speak after getting shot by a 50 caliber round.
December 23, 2022 at 02:29
This story was trying to tell me about me, but I read it as it as telling me about the author because I rejected the projection. That tells you someth...
December 23, 2022 at 02:20
This was a revenge story of a stereotyped dutiful woman finally getting payback against the stereotyped chauvinistic male. She was compliant, parental...

Miriam was Moses' sister, and her presence is heavily associated with water. Upon her death, the Hebrews ran out of water, but not before, and they we...

I realize we've concluded that Eros is a little boy, but in your rendition I am visited in my bedroom by some angelic goddess offering me love. I so t...

Had you brought it home, you'd just be telling us the story about how you threw it out later.
December 22, 2022 at 03:30
Fair, but I've always maintained a strict distinction in the way I treat the exoskeletons of invertebrates (I collect them) versus the way I treat the...
December 22, 2022 at 03:14
That was short. I wasn't sure who she was the grandmother of. If of the children, then the nursing mother was her daughter, or maybe the man was her s...
December 22, 2022 at 03:06
My dog brought me a dead possum that I slung in a shovel over the fence. That's what normal people do, as opposed to holding it and talking about it. ...
December 22, 2022 at 00:23
Rooting around the yard and yanking out carcasses of dead birds is troubling, not endearing. That's what I thought. I mean maybe my cat would bring th...

If I'm dating someone and we've had sex and she later says we're no longer going to have sex and that she's not sure she can sustain a relationship wi...

Neat. Something to think about.

When Hungary, you should eat Turkey. Greatest. Joke. Ever.

I made some homemade wholewheat blueberry muffins, but instead of blueberries, I used small chunks of mango. So actually they were blueberry muffins w...

I've heard that as well. I think the typical American paprika is pretty much flavorless, used almost as a pretty decoration in egg salad or deviled eg...
