Time of Your Life Author's Notes & Acknowledgements
Author’s Notes and Acknowledgements
I love all things Disney. And have seen most Disney movies. Except The Kid, which this story is based on. Whoops. But I will be watching it soon. Hopefully I kept to the spirit of the film. And at least it’s definitely an original spin. :D
The title of the story is from the similarly-named Green Day song.
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
I also took some inspiration from a UK television show. Will hide the title because it will spoil the story if you haven't read it yet. If you have read it then ... thanks to Life on Mars.
Special thanks to simplybeing who took the time to read this story in advance of posting and gave me that confidence boost that told me I was going in a good direction.
There aren’t enough good things to say about apieceofcake , who agreed to team up with me to create art based on the same prompt. She’s always so generous and fun and a pleasure to collaborate with. Thanks hon - you are the best.
Finally, as ever, thanks to borgmama1of5 - beta supreme, friend extraordinaire, and soon-to-be convention cohort. She’s always there to boost, improve, cheer and take my writing to a better place. Thank you. For everything.
Thanks to the original mods who made the magic happen.
I hope you enjoyed the story. Please comment if you can. Thanks for reading!
