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.

Chills
Although the subject matter is different...sort of...this reminded me of the book, "The Bell Jar," by Sylvia Plath for some reason. I liked the comparison between Michael's cloying care with that of mother when Nora needed something altogether different in her life...a quest for her own destiny, her own path, a need to care for herself, independence, to grow from childhood. 
 
I thought the piece very subtle, and in being so, quite enthralling. You plumbed a depth in this woman. The idea, in the end, of the woman's wishes, sort of threw me, because prior to then I felt the woman too confused to know her wishes. It was like she was just beginning to know herself, but in the end already knew. Looking forward to reading more of your work.

Super
I read Lariat before Becky. Sort of hit the middle before the beginning. Enjoy these simple characters leading simple lives in which some very un-simple events occur...sort of a "The Postman Always Rings Twice" sort of feeling going on here. I want to know more.

Wake up Lil' Missy, you only live once
Loved the way you built the tension from the beginning. I enjoy stories that open a window and give me snippets of lives. If done well, the rest of the character's life just sort of falls into place in my mind. Another of my favorites... depictions of the way fear of the maybe, perhaps, "what if," threat of future emotional pain or disappointment stands in the way of personal happiness (I think perhaps a universal human phenomenon.) This story reached me on several levels. Kudos.

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.

Title article: The pain of a dying woman
Date: 2008-10-29 01:22:45
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.

Title article: SPAM (the good kind! yes there is a good kind)

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.
