  "Who the devil," he mused, "is Montana Malone? And why is he, she or it reading a review I wrote specifically for someone other than this Montana Malone person?"
  
  "I don't know, sir" responded his humble servant. "But apparently she liked it."
  
  "Liked it? Poppycock!" the Master blustered, being of a certain age. "No one likes my reviews. Why, some wounded souls I've reviewed continue to haunt me year after year, savaging whatever it is I dare post."
  
  "That's true, sir," said his humble s. "You've compared them to tired old queens sitting in the bar after last call, bitching at their paper umbrellas."
  
  "Said that? Aloud?" thundered the Master. "I think not. I'm too much the gentleman to utter such base accusations into common air. You must be reading my correspondence. Therefore, you're fired."
  
  "No, you have said it," retorted his h. servant, who'd been fired many times. "Furthermore, you miss the point. This Montana Malone actually LIKED what you wrote and was kind enough to say so."
  
  As did all new ideas, it took several minutes for this new possiblity to enter the Master's brain. And then all He could say was, "I'm speechless."
  
  Since this was, indeed, a good thing, the h.s. slipped away to another room, where the Master's good port was kept.
  
  Behind him, the Master mused into his bath water, "I wonder if this Montana Malone person is on MATCH.com. I, after all, have yet to sire an heir. I also wonder if it's a good thing to be named after a state... unless perhaps she owns it. Yoah, there! Humble servant, call my lawyer!"

  Thanks so much for your positive comments on my short story, "Thicker Than Water". I was happy you enjoyed it and that you appreciated what I was trying to do with the story. Your encouraging words mean a lot.
  
  Thank you again!

  Thank you for your very substantial feedback (and for reading it twice).

  Thank you for the good review of "the old man's painting". You had many great suggestions for the rewrite I will do someday.

  thanks for the review, Montana. Yes both parts of Afoot and Lighthearted are pretty bare bones. The sorely need more descriptions and dialogue. Someday I'll flesh them out. These are memories that happened on my journeys almost 46 years ago. I'm slowly working on part three (it may be broken up into a part 4 as well) where Travis travels to the south of France and then to Morocco.

  I attended that funeral. I left out parts that were so outlandish I truly thought no one would believe them.
  
  Yes, I do sleep. But the voices tend to awaken me when they desire to become animated.
  
  Thanks for the review. I appreciate your reading this.
  
  Maybe next time I'll reel you back in. Until then, I'll keep typing what the voices tell me. They are a persistent lot. :C)

  Hi, thank you for a lovely review. I wasn't sure where to start with my submissions. Your words have encouraged me to share more. Thanks again.

  Nope. I keep them pretty low. I may not be managing them correctly.
  
  I may be making a huge mistake, Montana. I am making Missive into a trilogy. From each perspective. Obviously the afflicted wife. Then the mistress. And then the Husband.
  
  I am hardly out of plots. But something keep whispering in my ear that not all of the story is told. I finished the one for the mistress earlier. It comes in right at three pages. So it is consistent with length, which may have made the first one have a feel to it rather than a longer piece.
  
  Anyway, think you're doing wonderful work, and would give you a buck and a half for all your credits....:C)
