Comment from Rachelle Allen
Oh, dear gawd! You are just SO, so bad, Mystery Contestant...though, really, "mystery?" Only if you're sleeping through FS life.
You are an artiste with the written word, though, I must say, and creative beyond anyone's wildest imagination...well, you know, except yours. Your imagination seems to have no limits what. so. ev. er!! (That's meant as a compliment.)
We'll see if the FS masses are fun and spunky enough to give this its due in the polls. Good luck to you. And thank you for the absolutely delightful romp with this piece. I loved it. xoxo

Thank you much Rachelle! Yeah, my best stuff seems to fare the worst when it comes to contests. Of course that's the way of most things in the world... like, I was listening to a great classical music station the other day and then they put on Pachelbel. Someday though I will figure out how to hack the system. (Not the site though, in case anyone is listening).
-
hahaha. What do you have against Pachelbel?
-
Nothing against HIM. He's dead. I'm just tired of the radio playing a fake canon. It would be much funnier if they played the Islamic call to prayer nonstop for an hour. And waited for the calls.
-
wtf.
-
I didn't mean to offend -- it's just the most different thing I could imagine in the moment being on the radio. Pachelbel is quintessential easy listening.

Gotcha.
Comment from Colorado Owl
This is an interesting story. I read it a couple of times, and feel stupid that I don't quite understand the story and shift in personality.
It's well written and I appreaciated your using color to easily distinguish the different voices. Definite hints of The Shining!
Thank you!

The two colors are two different people living in the castle, if that helps!
Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
Well dang it! I have no more 6 stars and I NEED one! Loved the story and was glad your roommate got what he deserved! I could just tell he was the kind of person that would side with the plantains! Foul, evil scum! Psychotic episodes are highly under-rated and I hope you continue to live a blissful life free from the knowledge of past actions. If you ever feel those bad memories threatening to resurface, eat a banana.

Well spoken. You understand exactly what's at stake here. Or should I say, steak.
