GARDEN

In high school, a girl from another country arrives to stay with us. She's very sweet and also obviously very lonely. I can hear her crying to herself at night. I get out of bed and stand, listening to her, but I don't know what to do.

One day when everyone is out I sneak into her room. My heart is pounding. I go over to the closet and look with trembling hands through her clothes. I go over to her immaculate bed. At its foot sits the blue wooden trunk , painted with flowers, that all...

I'd really like to know what you guys think of our very first piece of fiction we published. I think Barry is a great writer.

What do you think?

umm, well, the link on the home page points to /girls/Barry%20Yourgrau/2%20stories instead of the proper /words/2%20Stories.
Apart from that... they're kinda odd but well written.

unlike my post which had to be edited for spelling

I dunno... I'm not familiar with anything else of his, all I've read was the two short pieces you guys posted. I think I'd have to read a bit more than that to make any sort of serious judgement on it, but those pieces made me feel more confident about my writing. I thought the descriptions (which were pretty much the whole of the pieces) were sorta boring.

You guys should post up some stuff by this guy:

I love his dope stories the most (Ted & Liz, Lobster Boil, Hot Whiskey, Joe Bowles etc), but I'm a sucker for that kinda thing.

looks like it's fixed now... a glitch in the Matrix perchance?
It seems there've been a few today...
