This week's story was inspired by one of my favorite poems by T. S. Eliot. "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"

What a sweet, compassionate story. It tugged at my heart. Very emotional. Thx for sharing, Sharon.

A sweet story that made me say "Aw!" at the end. Loved it!

You scared me for a minute there. Oh no! Good build up and I was relieved it had a happy ending.

Here's my story. It's prompted once again by a true event that happened years ago. Hope you enjoy it.

June, I got a kick out of your story. It was a fun read. With a few carefully chosen words, you wrote volumes about life in a small town.

Yes, I have always wondered about those lone shoes and the ones hanging from the wires. Your story made me giggle and it was well done.

Somehow my message ended up above under Sharon's, Copies it to you here :). You scared me for a minute there. I thought, Oh no! Great build up and I was relieved it had a happy ending.

Your excellent use of words tells much more story than 150 words can hold. Well done!

This story evoked a second read because of the ending. It was a deft touch to imply the backstory at the end instead of the beginning. Nicely done.

What a great story and so much background in so few words!

Cute story, Teresa. You definitely caught the temperment of a tweener. Welcome to the group. :)

Thank you, it was harder than I thought to get ANYTHING in 150 words. I have the same problem in real life - I talk too much!!

I too am way too wordy in my writing. These exercises have taught me brevity. The first few I did were over 200 words LOL and I had to learn to cut back to get to 150. Now I'm getting more adept. You will too.

That's very reassuring, thank you. You have more confidence in me than I do but I'll try my best!!
