    Wicked story because it does not exaggerate much at all. Scarey yet funny. In a way aiding these life destroyed beings to “the light” is a practical solutìon, but I sense that the MC might come to enjoy applying the solution too much.

    You are the Raymond Carver of Indiana, another American Chekhov and the Denis Johnson of our time. More than that, you are YOU, a unique voice in contemporary American Lit.: a voice of truth.

    Your creations, your gallery of characters, never cease to amaze, quite honestly.

    “Bedpan” is brutal but it’s also beautiful.

    As Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote in “Brahma,” “If the Red Slayer think he slays, he knows not well the ways I pass, and turn, and pass again.”

      Hi Dale

      That is high praise! I’m humbled to think such an educated, well versed, accomplished, and fine writer like yourself, appreciates my work.

      “Brahma–the red slayer is so ominous. I’m going to check that out. This is one of the many great things about your commentary. All of these writers you know so well and use as analogies and quotes. It really expands my education and whoever drops by can also benefit.

      Thanks

    Hi Leila

    Yes. I think Marco has found his calling. He seemed a bit too comfortable in burning up his grandfather and sending his mother to prison. lol.

    It is sad what people really think about these loved ones (not all) that become burdens in bedrooms and hospice beds in the living room. A fate that awaits us (not all) in the swoop of the sickle.

    My father in his usual gruff way said, “I’ll be glad when this bullshit is over.” RIP Dad.

    Thanks for catching me on the Re-Run!
