That was really good, I can see Ducky sitting late at night reading a book and just thinking, it's short but you get the feeling of the moment Ducky is in very quickly and the description paints a beautiful picture, really loved it.

Thanks so much for your comments! I really didn't think I was getting across what was in my brain--always nice to be told I'm wrong about that. *smiles*

You hit this dead on. Ducky is trying to outrun his mortality, although in a very different way from the way someone younger would. But it all comes down to the same thing in the end. "Just one more story" changes to "one more drink," or "one more fling," or what have you--but in the end, it's "just one more story" again.

Made me sniffle a bit, this did. Very nice.

*breathes sigh of relief* I felt just a bit left of center when I was writing it, so this is definitely good to heard. *smiles* Thanks so much for the comments!

:) 'Twas really good. I can totally envision Ducky sitting back with a short scotch with a good book in an old chair.
Looking forward to seeing more from ya! As for short... some times they are more fun... and more work! Or just get the point across perfectly!
