  2. j wilson from vancouver, Canada writes: So, if Donna's reading this, it's a story in the G & M about the time she got dumped and responded by nailing the ex's teenaged sibling for a while...

    Ah, well. Mike, did you dump her as well, when you went away to university? There's a lot of different angles here. Could be a book in it for you!
  3. KB Taylor from Calgary, Canada writes: Holy mackerel guys, this was a wonderful sad story about love and you are pooping all over it.

    Hard hearts in all of you.

    I am looking forward to more.
  4. Tyler Williams from seattle, United States writes: .

    Interesting writing style. Few words each sentence. Maybe skip verbs. Skip other words too. Keep it short. No need for more. Readers like repetition. Makes them happy. Short sentences. One after another. Brief phrase after brief phrase. Readers love that. Give them more. Five words at most. Three or four best. Tight and choppy. Pert and snappy. Like her nubile lips. Not too long. Nothing implied there. Nothing hot I mean. Strictly about the writing.

    AAUAUAAHHHHRRRGGGGGGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  5. Eric Brown from Miami, United States writes: I think this is a wonderful story. You imagine yourself in the author's place thinking that you would never allow this to happen to you, but somehow it does, and somehow it was inevitable. You look back on the experience and feel a little ashamed but if you ask yourself to trade in the experience in exchange for your pride...no way!
  6. Rene Pollett from Toronto, Canada writes: Thanks for taking me back to a time and place of wonders. And even though you're a 'Come From Away', I think by now you've earned your place in Newfoundland.
