Comment from Douglas Goff

Excellent

This made me feel sick to my stomach. I hope it's not true.

I hate wife beaters. I used to hunt them. As well as child predators and DUIs. I gave no quarter. If they came across my desk they jumped ahead of all other targets.

It is a broken world.

It's interesting, I wrote fiction in the author notes and subtitle but most people think it's true. It's fiction but I can't blame anybody. My life has been hard and I write about it openly.

Thank you for your service and for hunting these kind of men who beat their wives. I worked in the social field helping victims of rape, child abuse, and domestic violence. Child abuse is the worse. Evil people walk among us.

Thank you very much for your excellent review and kind words.

The only real monsters are humans.

People are wondering if it?s true because your words sounded so honest and knowing. I had remembered from a previous piece that your first husband was not a cop but then I wondered if you had married again.

Great writing.

Yes, I understand why people assumed it was about me but in this case it's a fiction story poem about a book by Stephen King. He has written three books that deal with domestic violence and molestation. It's a subject that needs to be talk or written about. I manage a club, finding your muse, and this week's event was changing the POV .

I'm pretty open about my life. I have been abused when I was younger but not to the point of being rushed to the hospital and everything else. Not to say my abuse was better or worse it's still abuse. One husband tried to choke me to death but luckily my daughter's friend was there to stop him. That is a story for another day.

Thank you for caring.

Of course I care. We?re buddies! Hey, are you a Stephen King fan as well? He is my second favorite writer.

I love Stephen King, he is my favorite writer. I like his early work more than the newer stuff. I have almost read all his books. I like the movie adaptations. He is an awesome person too, very funny. His corgi dog is called Thing of Evil LoL

Ha! His earlier works are his best!
