What Jack Means

I love the word “Jack”-what it means, how it sounds, the man it embodies. So I’ve been thinking for a while about how to turn this into a story of sorts. Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks to: Em (smiles_a_lot), who gave me the idea for the last paragraph ( Read more... )

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. I've been thinking about writing this for such a long time.

So clever! And very satisfying. I'm not sure I like the jacking off every day bit, seems the point of being together is to do it together, but still it works within the context of what you were trying to accomplish here. I really enjoyed reading this.
Love,
Jenna

I know what you mean . . . I didn't want to imply that they're not *also* making love, but I just couldn't pass up "jack off" as a possibility here. Thanks for leaving a comment; your opinion means a lot to me. :)

Yee-haw. *Preens and points to last paragraph, takes out spray can and writes "Inspired. By. Em." Well done, sweetie, very clever. Loved how you changed the ending, he finally won the Jackpot. Wonderful. Feel so spoiled, getting so many in a row from you. xx Em

You know it! I had been thinking of writing this for a while, then when you left a comment on my last one-shot I finally had the inspiration I needed to get started. And now I'm working on the next thing too. Thanks, Em! *hugs*

Very inspiring story. I love the different definitions of Jack, all true and all potentially sad, except the last one. Thank goodness it was Ennis that came upon Jack at the roadside, leading inexorably to the house that Jack built.
Wonderful ending. Thanks, Em.
And thanks for this fine one-shot. Carole

I'm glad you liked it! I meant for the tire iron scene to be a little scary, because you didn't know exactly what was happening--but it turned out in the best possible way. Thanks for leaving a comment. :)
