@ImMalia - In a way I understand why you say that. I guess it's because there's no action per se, which leaves it open to interpretation. And since there's nothing to indicate movement of sorts it has a kind of lingering tone, which could be construed as prevailing sadness.
Thank you very much for your reply.

I don't know why your story makes me sad

I pray!
... An echo in my response.
Indifference of the parapet.
And the fog covered the years,
Pier lonely poet.
In the gray mist splashing river
Float boats somewhere
I turn into an old man quietly.
Shouted, "answer me!"
... But there is no answer.

islandalone : Do not forget to hope and happy be.
:)

On another context, is it
is land alone
or
island alone
or
neither of the above?

on the website it matter?
I never thought about this...
I live in Russia and I like to have friends from other countries...

@Silentspectator: True although it could be happening somewhere now.

Yes...of course

I would like a good ending...:)islandalone

why the girl no longer happy? :)

... in history though!
:)

@Scribbles, Thank you.

I think it's valid here...

not in the mood...???????

@xal132 - I didn't mention a specific date or time in history; this could have been anytime, ranging from the medieval period to the 1950s.
The reason she's no longer happy? We don't live forever you know.

I'm right...:)))

;))))

(*shock!*)?

When you mentioned you wrote erotica the usual reaction from a guy should be "oh yeah! that's what I'm talking about! what kind? do you get off on your own writings? do you write from experiences? do you want to try some of the stuff you write about?"......
That's what I mean.
I'm not in a rush to read it. I'll read it when I get a chance.
I'm sorry I muddled things a bit.

yes...thx

;))

@MaryQueenOfScots - This is the first I've posted, though I do have a few more on the way.
Thank you very much for your compliment: I'm glad you enjoyed it.

hahahah...I think that you are not as old as you want to be...

But.....I don't ever want to mislead you.
I'm not handsome, intelligent, rich, strong, or well traveled.
Yeah I'm a typical guy in some respects but I like to think I'm not a stereotypical "guy" if that makes any sense.

I have to tell you thank you...
I have not read such a good story...
on the website mostly sex or something ...I don't even know how to say...

@xal132: your kind words say it all. I'm very flattered by them, and by the fact that you took the time to write me.
I thank YOU!

:)

No I didn't.
However I will, though right now I'm not in the mood (*shock!*)

I will look it up and read it later today or early evening.

@Lemonysnicket, you are too kind and sweet.
Thank you!

:)

The old man was unfortunately lost in his own fog and could not see or hear what was beyond.

Poor old man.
Poor.
Old.
man.

@xal132: you're welcome, and thank you!

No that's not it......
I'm sorry....

It's possible you're right.

I don't understand...what do you mean?

sorry I uh dont know how to react

I would be honored to be your friend.
