LJI Season 8: Food Memory

[n_decisive]

I sit in a corner of the long abandoned chicken house, still as a statue. The sight of me must be strange; I wear my mother's heavy jacket over my jeans and light sweater and my five year-old hands are cartoon-ish in my stepfather's thick work gloves

This was sweet and cute. The ending really made it work. I'd gently suggest cleaning up some grammar and spelling, because it does distract. Overall, a good piece.

[n_decisive]

Thanks. :)

Suggestions on where the spelling and grammar issues are welcomed. I will review, but sometimes I don't see my own mistakes until I've been away from the writing a while.

I actually just found several examples. I'm supposed to wear my glasses when I'm online. Not being able to read clearly is part of the "why," however, I remain stubborn. ;)

This is lovely - the ending especially ties it all together nicely x

[n_decisive]

Thank you very much. I'm glad you liked it. :)

awwww, what a nice bond you work hard to forge with your feline friends.

[n_decisive]

Said bond may only be established if one stops worrying that they'll be called a "crazy cat lady." ;)

Feral kitties break my heart. I'm glad you're taking care of the ones that will let you.

Thank you. :) Someone said to me once that I "can't save them all." It's very true, but it doesn't stop me from doing what I can, you know?

I really enjoyed this, especially the opening image of you as the small child bundled up in all the heavy clothing. :)

[n_decisive]

Thank you. :) Somewhere around here, I have a photo of me at that age, feeding my baby goat.
