Thanks @negativer. With each passing day it gets easier to write about old men. 🕘
I sometimes feel like the CCR of short fiction: same three chords over and over but somehow, it just falls together fresh in each song. Working on a couple of new chords and maybe even a 7/8 beat!
I just realized I forgot to use the word "pocked" for the stars. Perfect story to use it. There once was a discussion on the Block about that word... could've pulled all that in here with just a word.
sigh
Ah yes. Pocked. I had pocked in my 'Numb' story in the queue, and people were questioning if that was a real word. Not that they didn't know what it meant...but if it was a real word. It sounds exactly like what you'd expect the word means.
Pocked.
Like our body as we get older.
ties it all together
after the contest i may work that word in here... it is a great word.
