I do not wish your angry stage leavings, sir! Unless by mad you mean insane, a candelabra, like Lumiere, perhaps?
The less sleep I get, the more I find my own stupidity hilarious 😉 Thank you for whatever kind of props you want to give me – I do love that word, I think it’s a damn near perfect descriptive.
Love the distinction between strength and rigidity, and how on that point, he decided to move on. Though I’m curious as to what his finish line is, not doing doesn’t detract from the story a bit. I’m glad you decided to link up – I enjoyed this story!
Ha, well, as to his finish line I can’t exactly say – but I may try to write it so that I can figure it out 😉 It was one of those little tales where you can see the people / situation, but you just get a little slice of it and then it goes quiet on you.
Ooh, this is so intriguing! I want to know more. Love that you used moue – and that opening line description is fantastic! I’m so glad you joined us! 🙂
Short with a bitter-sweet angle-a great debut on SE and I loved the lines,”While strength was malleable and capable of spontaneity, rigidity snapped like a thawing icicle at the slightest provocation..”Look forward to reading more from you in the coming week(s) 🙂
I’m with Suzanne – the opening totally drew me in, and I want to know more. What was their bond, exactly?? I hope you write more. Thanks for posting, and welcome to the speakeasy!
Ha, I really love the connotations of that word, and was excited to have an opportunity to use it. I’m very glad you enjoyed reading it, and thank you. Suzanne is awesome, from her vocabulary series to poetry and prose, it’s a little ridiculous 😉

The literary devices used in the first half of this were spellbinding. I really enjoyed this read.
k~
That’s awesome, thank you so much 🙂 I’m really glad you enjoyed it.
I loved reading your words… how many people use ‘moue’? This was ‘poetry in motion’ as they say.
On another note: Suzanne is to blame for me being at the Speakeasy too… isn’t she wonderful?
