Thank you. It shows how a life can be changed when challenges recognised and met. Such stories of love and encouragement fill my heart with hope. Take...

Your story and this explanation help me imagine such a scenario. Thank you again. I wonder what inspired Kenaburo Oe in turn? The stories we tell, our...

Poor little mices :cry:

Aw! So cute. Yours?

Again, I have to respectfully disagree. It was more than OK. It was a delight throughout and with that twist at the end :monkey: Not sure I would appr...

Thanks so much for your clear explanation detailing the background of this marvellous story. I. I did wonder about this wise saying. Murakami's book '...

Impressive how stories just roll off your tongue. Slick licks. I really enjoyed this. Another winner :up: :grin: Quite the tasty destination. It carri...

Yes. I noticed the circularity, imagination and intelligence in your other wonderful story. Sparks flying from the collaborative spirit. Fascinating t...

Congratulations! :fire: I wrote this in a reply to Olivier but I think I'll spread my joy here :wink: Addendum: also big :up: to all those working beh...

Yeah, massively BIG FAIL...Not! It was seamless and a warm tale of love. I enjoyed your explanation of the elements: Clever ploy. I think @"Caldwell" ...

Glad you're both well. Horrible things can turn out for the better, after all. Sometimes. It gives me hope :sparkle:

You know, I've been wondering about the impact all of this must have had on you and your wife. Total upheaval and uncertainty. But I thought it best n...

I can't imagine why :chin: Some day, you might want to write that story. A different and personal perspective on the 'Ukraine Crisis'.

Yeah. But it was all the goody-goody Angel and Samaritan bits that got me going :wink:

Hah. I got that so totally wrong! Not for the first time but such an interesting story to try and unpick. That's exactly what I thought, first time ro...

@"javi2541997" I loved your story and thought it powerful. Looking forward to your return, whenever you are able, to discuss it more... Very well done...

There's a lot of that about! Should there not be some kind of punishment meted out by... I dunno...someone in authority :wink:

This was one helluva story. Scary and smelly as hell. That was clever. The look and smell of wet autumn leaves rotting. Well, it leaves me a little sa...

You helped me appreciate this more than I might have. Thanks :up:

Congratulations @"Benj96" :clap: 'Double Helix' was my greatest challenge. Thank you for all your tips and hints. So damned clever :100: :cool:

Great explanation of the history, pictures of the present and beautiful painting of the expulsion of the Moriscos from Denia. @"javi2541997" did a sup...

A beautiful story poetically told. Thoughtful, delicate and a welcome change from violence to love. Thank you. Sometimes the inspiration in a story is...

Fascinating to hear the story behind the story. Clever. I blame my cynicism on my hefty (since November!) consumption of Christmas cookies à la slushy...

:smile: As simple as that?! Is that all you did? I thought that it would involve an input of specific words, a name, and then a creative tweaking of t...

I kinda thought it might be you, given your high involvement in the ongoing 'Ukraine Crisis' thread. Already on your mind and in post mode. I laughed ...

3 words meaning pretty much the same without any examples. No attempt at interpretation. Repetitive repeating of what others have said. This is not th...

.

You repeated your message. And others before you have made pretty much the same point. Repetition rules. Why focus on the negative? That doesn't sound...

The Inseparable?

Talking about time travel. Heady days... Animal, Vegetable, Mineral (1956) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdI6T-74E_o

Sorry to hear that. Hope things settle down and you can relax. No need for TPF festivities. At all. Be well. Take care :pray:

:up: It just makes more sense to me... @"Caldwell" has always been open to suggestions :sparkle: We don't all think the same way...thankfully. Perhaps...

Yes. That's why I suggested the second part be for fun only; no votes. Mid-way break for guessing, discussing, votes then counted. I can't see how it ...

I'm going to take a chance. Even though @"180 Proof" isn't on the previous list. I think he wrote: 'The Inseparable'...

:up: I think it's by @"Vera Mont"... maybe not... I think she is author of 'Cruelty'. I'm giving it a rest now. My guesses are usually way off. But I ...

I think 'Is this a Turing Test?' is by @"Jack Cummins".

:rofl: Did you write it? Double Helix?

Yay. Funnily enough that was the only one that received a single-word response from me. 'Hilarious' ! Congratulations :fire:

Derivative. Yes?

Premises and Conclusion.

Double Helix.

See Story Discussion. Not 'Is this a Turing Test'?!

Abstract Conspiracy?

When is the second round starting? On the same day, the 15th? How much time is being allowed/allocated for guessing and feedback? We have 30 entries. ...

Good to guess, reveal and discuss all entries up to the 15th. The votes can be counted; a 'winner' revealed. The second half can be for pleasure alone...

Cruelty What is it? Who dispenses it, and why? Just some of the questions arising... The protagonist is without a name. Depersonalisation. Let's call ...

I was talking to whoever the author was/is. Not guessing that it was you/ Stopping now. G'night.

OK :pray:

Thanks. But I can't connect and don't know it's done. I think that even if I could access, my pics would be very poor in comparison. I am no artistic ...

Sorry, author, if we're taking a side-track but that's where some questions lead. I promise no more personal chit-chat from me after this: Wow. It mus...
