It's a great short story. Find a copy of "Soft and Others." You won't be disappointed by any of the gems in it.

Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.

Deals somewhat with abortion. The title has at least a couple of meanings; the halloween angle is perhaps the tamer one.

I like blue Kool-Aid...I don't know what flavor it is, I just have this thing for blue food....

How many vikings does it take to change a light bulb?

None. The light from the burning monastery is more than sufficient.

May the Norse be with you.

As you can tell, I haven't read it. That's what I gathered from the Amazon blurb. Now I have to read it :eek:

Did I miss something? How did "Buckets" come up? The Amazon story is
"The Long Way Home"

When you click on the link in the article, it takes you to a list of your books on Amazon (interestingly enough, the short isn't on the list). I recognized all but "Buckets."

How weird is that; I just had a conversation with my co-worker yesterday about blue food. He won't eat it because it doesn't appear naturally in any foods.

I'm an orange Kool-Aid guy.
