I think it'd be interesting to have a new section of the site where people can write short stories. [You can attribute this idea to my (almost) daily shower-thoughts.] It's just every now and then I don't want to write a poem, but rather a sort of hybrid between short story and poetry. Am I mad? What do the mods think?
I just know I don't want to sign up to a new forum.
I'll be there in a minute.

I would think yu could post them now in misc with [short story] in the title. There is no guarantee that anyone will comment or that the comments would be other than worthless but, then again, there is no guarantee the sun will rise tomorrow either.

I'd place a bigger bet on the sun rising than receiving useful comments on the internet any day.

challenge accepted!!
I like your hair better this way than in the previous picture. <----- attempt at a useful comment on the internet
Actually, I just re-read this. Yah, betting on the sun rising is one of the safer bets you could make no matter what you compare it to.
