Hi Shari
After all the Baker Act stuff I've been writing you could have possibly guessed I would be interested in your Flash Fiction. I think one or two of our famous writers would have ended up Baker Acted if they had been alive today.
Good luck in the contest.

Very, very funny , We think alike, This is my type of humor, Yet I think you can come up with a better last line, the kicker sentence or is this going to continue, then it is fine, enjoyed it and can relate

Okay, I'll give a thought to the last line. Thanks for mentioning.

This is a very well written and funny short story. Good to know that it is fiction. But I can understand the temporary insanity. Good luck in the contest.

Thanks for catching the spag. Caught another typo while at it. Appreciate the stars.
Comment from michaelrandolph
For a flash, this is a very interesting and sorry to say comical story concerning the depression we all feel as writer's at times. Have to say I caught myself laughing as many of us have wanted to scream at the retarded editors at times. Excellent.

Thanks, Michael. Fun to make something quite serious into a comedy. But that helps us get through.
Comment from tweiser
great story! and, sadly, so very true.....especially the temporarily part, LOL. just a teeny bit of spag....1 too many apostrophe's around the 't' in 'you can't suffocate yourself'; no quotation mark after 'tough to lose someone you love'; and, did you mean 'bared your teeth' instead of 'barred your teeth'? thanks for the read. tommie

THanks, Tommie. I got the two spags you first mentioned. And you're right about about bared.

Good and exciting write. Poor writer. What a good put-down when he made the comment about apple pie. Sad state of affairs, but it was humorous anyway. Spelling error-barred for bared my teeth. Good. Funny.
