About Myself: I discovered the catharsis of writing when I was 13 years old, and have been writing ever since. I have tried to turn it off in order to facilitate some sort of "real" life, but like gum on the sole of a shoe it follows me around...just stuck there and smelling like artificial fruit.

Ok,ok since you brought it up....my favorite quotation is "observation does not imply endorsement." 
 
Also aren't Russians considered white? So do they love alcohol and documentaries? Do the Irish love limericks? Do Italians love persuasion? Do Swedes love...umm...themselves? 
 
Not too sure to whom the satire is directed, but it made me think in several directions at once...so...successful little piece.

I highly suspect that Alice, The Mad Hatter and the White Rabbit (always in such a bloody hurry, he) are somewhere in Repence's house shifting seats and plates around a sullied banquet table. 
 
Enjoyable read. Cute.

In the movie Dr. Zhivago, there is a scene where the camera zooms to an image of a candle or lantern creating a circle of light and melting ice on a frosted window. It stirs that first desire to know what life is going on on the other side of that window. Your pieces remind me of that scene. Each of your stories are like a pulling back of window curtains; so that we may view and meet the demons of these people's lives...like literary peeping Toms or viewing ego autopsies. Very addictive stuff.

It Works
I assume this is a translation or written by someone who speaks English as a second language? The sort of off-balance use of the English language really works here as this woman faces her fear, pain and death. I was especially touched by her anxiety upon realizing she has to do this thing alone. I felt the sorrow. I felt the loss of control of her body and life.

Cute as Kittens
Loved it. Thanks for the smile. Cute as kittens. Who would 'a thunk that a canned, meat product developed by the military would turn into a household staple (not to mention a country-wide joke) served with eggs or fried potats? What is it made out of? Ham-like, but not really....ham-like with added grease, added congealed stuff and salt...the heart-stopper meat designed by generals? Great tribute.

Sad, very sad. A loss of hope piece. Good use of body of water and movement of the waves to reflect the cycle of emotion from happiness to despair. Reflective work. Third from last stanza could use more fleshing out...I think.

Title article: Different strokes for different folks.

Masculine frailty revealed. Funny story.I was looking for some conclusion to the first ride, but of course you survived, because you went on to be married. Easy way out as a grown man? Just say, "Real men do not ride sissy rides. They ride tanks and air craft carriers," or as yellowcat suggests...upchuck on somebody. It will only take one time, but your kids would never, ever let you live it down. Good piece of light humor.

Thanks
Thanks for reading this short piece and for your comments. I attempt to write pieces and paint paintings that are evocative...telling you more about yourself than telling a story. It is the within and individual emotion in each of us I am targeting rather than entertaining my audience. I hunt for that self exploration and hope for growth and thought in my reader...I care more that you feel what I write rather than enjoy it. For me it is about image making one way or another and holding up a mirror to the truth, or at least the fact that what is - is. If you do not understand this piece...your innocence is refreshing...kudos.

Enjoyed!
Ya had me going there. At first I thought "stalker." Then I thought, "absolutely, no way!" Then I just laughed. Life is always a dream... an endless succession of what ifs. Written extraordinarily well. I followed the story like it was a line of bread crumbs. Great job. Are you familiar with the song, "You're Beautiful" by James Blunt?

Damn it
Well crafted. Can't say I enjoyed it at all. Misery, lostness, rejection, a lack of choices...I felt all of these things in this work, and as such it is successful on every level. You have a real knack for bringing out a certain hopelessness. Looking forward to reading the rest of your work, but will do it in small bites.
