LJIdol 3 Strikes - Week 4 - "The axe forgets; the tree remembers"

[hwango]

Oh, it’s you children again. I assure you, this is perfectly innocent gardening, and I am not burying a body. I would hope you would give me more credit than to think that if I murdered someone I would be foolish enough to dispose of their body by burying it on my own property. It would be even nicer if didn't suspect me of murder in the first

Such brilliance humbles me. Every time. This - She Who Watches, He Who Listens, and It That Remembers. made me fall out of my desk chair.

[hwango]

Wow, thanks! I do hope you fell on something soft, though.

I always look forward to reading your entries - you have a very unique voice, and never fail to amuse! Bravo!

[hwango]

Thanks! I'm glad they are both something to look forward to, and that they then deliver successfully.

OK, this one caused me to have to re-read it - I was getting confused, but I wanted to understand. It was very well done.

Sorry to hear this one was confusing, but thanks very much for taking the time to give it another try!

I'm developing a great respect for you as a writer. I look forward to what you may produce in future.

You never fail to disappoint! I love the immediate consequence of losing the branch and the memories, and how poor Gerald ended up in the icy pit anyway. Now, seriously, what are you REALLY burying over there?

[hwango]

Thanks! ...and I don't know what you mean, this is an entirely innocent human-sized bundle of...uh...fertilizer. Yes. Fertilizer.

You have outdone yourself! This piece is positively cutting. Your sharp wit and inventiveness never cease to amaze and delight.

[hwango]

Thank you! This one got off to a rocky start and went through a lot of changes, but I'm glad you enjoyed where it ended up!
