Oh, damn, James. That\'s a hell of a coincidence to contemplate. Life has some terribly cruel ironies, doesn\'t it? This one gave me the chills. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Nicely worded with rhyme and quaint wording it sets the scene and tells its story of irony and darkness. I loved it and a fave

There’s something painfully familiar here, James. Sometimes you don’t notice how much has gone gray until you start remembering the colors. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

What a marvelous write about all living things that have their place and if we erase any there is a void.

A most interesting write that brings up many ideas. Is it that with age all things fade to gray that there is no more black and white. That well could be. Nicely written

Decision
Tristan Robert Lange said:
James, this put me in a place I didn’t particularly want to stand…which is probably why it worked on me. The decision looks simple right up until you imagine carrying it afterward. Fantastic write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A poignant question where one must wrestle with one\'s beliefs and soul. Torn between answers.

Too bad
Tristan Robert Lange said:
James, what a delightfully macabre little tale. The tension builds like a sacred rite, the sky delivers the punchline, and that casual acceptance afterward makes the whole thing wickedly funny. Brilliant work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Tristan Robert Lange said:
What a strong piece, James. The voice starts small and almost hidden, then opens into something much larger about survival, interdependence, and what disappears when we stop paying attention. Quietly powerful, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Tristan Robert Lange said:
What a thoughtful piece, my friend. The rain, the clothing, the clay, and the firing all gather around this sense of becoming...of carrying what shaped us while still emerging differently. Beautifully done, James. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

What\'s it all about
Tristan Robert Lange said:
What a dark and powerful piece, my friend. You confront a society where corruption hides beneath respectability, the vulnerable are shaped by deception, and exposure arrives too late to undo the damage. A brutal indictment, James. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Is anybody out there
Tristan Robert Lange said:
James, this asks the questions grief forces upon us while keeping a wary eye on anyone too eager to supply definite answers. The movement from mystery into exploitation is quietly chilling...a thoughtful and incisive piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

sorenbarrett said:
Is it our fear of nonexistence that prompt the creation of religion. The need for perceived justice prompts the idea of heaven and hell. Nature far kinder all must experience death there is no prejudice or judgement it is the same for all. Hope the last to die. Nicely written, thought provoking.

The end
Tristan Robert Lange said:
James, this really hit me. Strip away the systems, accounts, markets, and accumulated wealth…and suddenly the person who knows how to coax life from the earth may possess the greatest wealth of all. Powerful write, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Aging
Tristan Robert Lange said:
James, what a relatable piece. The humor keeps it light, but underneath is a very human reflection on time, aging, and the restless impatience that somehow never leaves us. And that final “Holy crap… / This be you” lands with a grin and a wince at the same time. Really enjoyed this one, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Off a little
Tristan Robert Lange said:
My friend, “Nothing scary…haunt’s be…” is the turn that grabbed me. It hints that the unease doesn’t come from monsters but from something far more subtle. That line sets the tone beautifully. Wonderful write. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Aging
Paul Bell said:
Remember, age is just a number.
Okay, 68 is a big number, but on the plus side, turn that number around, and some 86 year old is passing by in a hearse wishing he was 68.
On that cheery note I\'m off for a nap.
