Full of life. Only when onstage.

Gracias por esta historia, afrontar una enfermedad es un tema sensible para mí. Comprender la decisión del personaje fue difícil...

"The harbor lights far below the theater on the hill cast a fisherman’s filament of illumination that hooked his resolve and reeled him slowly down toward the sea."

It's hard to single-out one quote from this--every line is so well crafted. I always read your stories 2-3 times for the prose. This is great work, Victor.

Hello Victor My absence from this place was punished. I had to re-authenticate myself. "Re-authenticate" hmmm ... what is that a metaphor for?

Reading your story is as delightful as always.

I just adore your lyrical storytelling. I'm ignorant to the reference but at least I caught the reference of the city and it reminded me of seeing my most favorite piece of theater ever in Seattle in a place called Black Sheep theater or Free People theater or something - it was a lifechanging moment for me, a person who'd been prejudiced against thespians until that point.

I have not read Eugene Ionesco, but I'm pretty sure he owes me money. Nevertheless, I very much enjoyed the allegory here. You've spun another nice tale.
