Five Things LaShawn Won't Talk About

First, why they left Lubbock. Oh, she'll chatter on about things she misses and things she likes better here in Childress. Weather, local politics, neighborhoods, shopping… She'll go on-at length-about the new job with Roy Taylor and the old job ( Read more... )

Yes, hard as it may be to believe, there must be things even LaShawn would keep silent about.

This is so good. And what a novel perspective.

Thank you!

Thank you for your kind comment. Someone who talks that much often has things they want to hide. The talk forestalls questions, and drowns out the scary thoughts.

Oh this was great! I was very intrigued to read this from LaShawn's pov, and find out what she *doesn't* talk about. Thank you for sharing this.

Thank you for reading and for commenting. Yes, it came as a surprise to many (me included) that there might be anything that LaShawn doesn't talk about... ;)

You don't write remotely as much as I'd wish, but believe me, when you do it's strong stuff. Thank you

Thanks so much. I don't write as much as I wish, either. The muses don't show up on any regular schedule around here. I'm always writing--if only in my head--but getting it down on paper (or Word document) and getting it fit to post... Well, I wish I was prolific like some.

Damn. This was good. Poor, underrated Lashawn. Speaking as a gabblemouth of the first order, I thank you for this. Last line was a killer. Imagine being that poor woman and knowing.

Not an easy life for her, poor LaShawn. I wonder what she thinks about Jack. Is she jealous, resentful, worried? Does she think Jack is an improvement on Randall's prior flings? Maybe someday one of us will find out and tell...

Thanks for reading and commenting.

Great stuff, Sid, even if you didn't show me how to get here! sjowall1452 October 29 2007, 08:51:30 UTC

Any of your '5 things' could be a story in itself. How about it?

How about it? sid401k October 31 2007, 09:58:22 UTC

Eeepp!
