I just said it to you, but I'll say it out here, too. I really don't think that something has to be obvious or resolved for it to resonate with an audience.

Everyone's pieces are really terrific, all very evocative. This thread always fascinated me in the way it always reveals how different points of view can run with a small idea. (And how it reveals just how many excellent writers we have among us. Good work, all!)

More people should contribute, too! I know Tom is hoping to get a piece up before this one closes. Is there an ETA for closing?

By the way, CP, are you looking for future theme ideas? I have one...

LS is absolutely right- I like having to think about something, and I only want to think about something if it hits home with me. I don't care to be spoon-fed the story anymore than I want to have someone else tell me how I should feel about a work of art. If I want that, I can read some of those stupid Nora Roberts books one of my clients insists on bringing me......


(MY client is an absolute sweetheart, but I don't have the courage to tell her I don't like that crap, so I just smile and hope she doesn't ask for a book report).

I said two weeks from the OP, which makes it the 24th. Not hard and fast, of course.

I don't need to be the only idea person. When the topic runs out of steam you can post your idea, no problem.
