Wow
Powerful stuff. You seldom fail to impress.
Thanks for sharing your vision.
Apparently I need to write more for the powers that be.

What a way to start my day here at FanStory, Gene. You are too kind. And a six! Whoa!
Comment from Curly Girly
I hate it when parents try to dictate to their children who they can and can't marry. Romeo and Juliet all over again. Only people can decide for themselves who is right for them.

Thanks, Nicole. I appreciate the six stars and your interpretation. Glad to have you back.
Comment from Delahay
I have to say I've never heard of a dribble flash fiction but I get the idea that it is supposed to tell a story in very few words. What I got from this is a mixed race couple is expecting and trying to elope. They believe their families will accept the baby after it is born. Unfortunately, daddy catches the young lovers and takes out the young man. This must be at a time, perhaps in the south, when he can do this and get away with it. I enjoyed this and am amazed that so much can be expressed in so succinctly.

Comment from Selina Stambi
Oh Jay, Jay, what a storyteller you are, even in 'dribbles' and 'drips'!
You told a whole darn lot in a few lines.
I think you might have the germ of a novel here, my prolific friend.
Hope you win!
Huge smiles, : ) :)

Comment from flylikeaneagle
Jay: those guns are meant for protection or shootin. When did this take place?
Think of all the slave owners who took the woman by force and had mixed
babies on the plantations. The Gees were slave owners in the south. Some have
the name of Gee since they liked their master. People even had underground
routes to bring the blacks to the North. Others, lured people to a trap by a
river and shot them. History hurts and teaches us lessons.
Jay, are you starting a novel from the middle? I will be soon since I have the book.tgrffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff The cat had to type you a note!
Enjoy your day. flylikeaneagle

Thanks for reading and your kind words, Nancy. No plans yet on starting another novel. What book did you get?

Jay: I got a collection of books. Write Your Novel From The Middle: A New Approach for Plotters, Pantsers and Everyone in Between. How to Write a Novel Using the Snowflake Method. Murder of a Manuscript - Writing and Editing Tips to Keep Your Book Out of the Editorial Graveyard. Josiah's Fire: Autism Stole His Words, God Gave Him a Voice and Girls Like Us: Fighting for a World Where Girls Are Not for Sale. Whew... yes, I'll have time to do some gardening, too.
On Dr. Phil and now utube, there was a guest who talked about being sold as a baby for purpose of sex trade. I want to expose this in the middle. Big leap for me, Jay. Hope this helps the ladies and runaways know there is hope. I'm using Los Vegas and Four Corners as locations.
Check out the books. Jerry Jenkins suggested the Snowflake book. He posts tips for writing. Got to fly! Enjoy chatting with you! nancy

Yes, the first book you mentioned was the one I recommended to you. Keep me up on your progress, okay, Nancy?
Comment from Alcreator Litt Dear
Forgiveness to neighbours, love is God, or 'to err is human, to forgive is divine', the Christian philosophy promoted, in this fiction, author tries to promote; I liked.

Comment from DLBoo
Nicely done. We have been fighting the color problem for more than a half century. Then there are those that wonder if there is life on other planets? Why? We can't get along with each other. Good luck on the contest. I hope to read more from you in the future.

Comment from Heidi M
Excellent Dribble Flash Fiction entry. You conveyed so much while using so little. You really know how to make every word count. The closing line tells so much about the father and about what's going to happen.
Nicely done.

Comment from Spiritual Echo
Works for me. Intense, straight into the scene and very effective. No need for adjectives or embellishment. You caught it in the opening paragraph.
