Beauty and melancholy in nearly equal measure. Like the sweet and sometimes sour fruit of those fallen oranges. It feels introspective and personal and - beyond that - tangible. Thank you for the gift of this story - I enjoyed every moment of it.
Thank you very much Mike. This is one of my favorites and I suppose it is personal in the sense that my feelings about war and conformity and those who are threatened by change are present. Those things are present in other works of mine too, but this one is special because of the connection I made with another author, and how he is also present, a bit of magic that I find inspiring. Many thanks again for your support and encouragement. I really appreciate it.
Victor, I've fallen behind reading your pieces but read today's just now with my breakfast. All I can say is wow. This one hits hard. Every line resonates. I hope you're very pleased with how it turned out. Happy new year to my favorite not-nearly-well-enough-known fiction writer. ~Sandy
Hi Sandhya, I know what you mean about falling behind. I am behind on a few of my fellow writers also. Plus some books on my desk.
Thank you very much for your beautiful words. I really appreciate it. And yes, this is one of my favorites. It seems I'm not always in control of what I tap into, and I hope to find another door into a similar space when the time is right.
All the best and happy new year to you as well, Sandy. There's a sense of renewal in the air.
