i will make two assumptions..
1. You are a college student.
2. Youre either a theatre or lit major..

noone else reads enough Checkov to be inspired to do much of anything by it.

ps: <3 the story.. a lot.

[hyaenid]

Thanks! :)

Alas, wrong on both counts...

1. (Deeply pretentious) high school senior
2. (Going to be) majoring in chemical engineering and music

I'm just a geek :D Really, though, the short story is one of the more lovely and (at least where I'm in school) underappreciated arts, and Chekhov is so brilliantly good at it, and since this is part of a desperate attempt to improve my (pretty terrible) fiction skills, I figure borrowing stylistically from the best is (at least) not a bad way to go.

And, as far as I'm concerned, Chekhov was exceedingly skilled with realism in his short stories and plays :)

its so good to be wrong.
hooray for you!!

This is truly a wonderful drabble and I can definitely see why you were inspired by Anton Chekhov. :)

Thank you! (Chekhov is one of my very favourite authors ever.)

This is excellent! Not much action, but so much feeling. It says everything.
