Up until that point I wasn't sure the story worked. <br /><br />I actually did send this one out and still have the rejection slip from that submission. <br /><br />Ah,the power of blogs you can publish all the assorted riffraff in your writing folders.<br /><br />Thanks Kevin for the feed back. Nice to know this old dusty story hasn't lost its kick.DOGDANCINGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08407478554269205298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676399562721737928.post-31329919934002423572012-08-01T15:15:08.051-07:002012-08-01T15:15:08.051-07:00Wow that was a good, well written story.

That was the only thing that might have really bothered me, but thanks for the pre-warning anyway. Appreciate it. ;)blogzillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08268388544631653375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676399562721737928.post-44192528142161389342012-07-28T20:35:33.447-07:002012-07-28T20:35:33.447-07:00To answer the question, no this isn't true.

We would fall asleep to the sounds of his saws. The next day we would go into the workshop to see what he made to find nothing, not even sawdust! it was creepy.DOGDANCINGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08407478554269205298noreply@blogger.com
