Discussion of "Day Seven" by honeygloom

Amazing. This is what I have been looking for. Some time with family members other then the immediate ones. Tears, compassion, last moments.
You kept it very heartwarming in a family setting with the visit from his sister Lacy. The announcement of her pregnancy, the possibility of keeping his name alive if she has a boy.
Extremely well written with the continues suffering of the painful headaches.
Thank you for your addition honeygloom.
Ironic as it may sound, I JUST found out a few days ago a cousin of mine went and saw a specialist only to find out he has a brain tumor. Funny how a story can bring real life to the forefront.
My last chapter of this story I am going to dedicate to him.
Here is another piece of my life I wish to share. My middle name is also Anthony...

...and the day 7 title and representations to things that breath that number....your writing talent amazes me.

Thank you so much! I'm really sorry about your cousin. That's so sweet of you to dedicate this to him.

Good grief honeygloom…
I am man enough to admit that I sprang a leak on this one. Absolutely Brilliant.
The beginning was tense and devastating. Short quick statements punctuating his pained thought patterns. I found it was easy to forget everything else in the world and just share in his tortured agony. And it sucked it was so good. You gave me a splitting headache!
The second part maintained the same level of drama only from a more manageable perspective that once again humanized the character for me…which actually made it more desperate and agonizingly sad. Ugh!
This was some of your finest writing. Not just for the emotional effect it had, but because it was crafted so well.
A+ + chapter. (if only there were seven stars to vote)

Hey thanks:) I've had chronic migraines for like 9 years so the first part was easy, although writing it made me a little sick at times.
Ha! That's cool, I made you cry:)

um yea, but they were really big manly tears!

Wow, honeygloom...I agree with dog. This is one of your very best! Loved it!

Fabulous!

Thanks WWB and Persephonie!!!

Rough on the old manliness, but Big boys get misty too. Bravo!

Thanks Acee!!

I'm thinkin' this wasn't my type of story. I didn't finish it. It was written okay. Most likely just not my cup of tea. I'll check out eh rest of your stuff, but any recommendations on some more exciting stories?

I guess you could try Syphilis is Up and its follow up chapter Muse. They are both shorter, and after reading your stories and comments, it seems like brevity might the magic key that unlocks your interest:)

I thought the beginning was amazing. The "pained thought patterns", as Dog said, were an amazing touch. I absolutely loved the different connections to the number 7. Superbly written.

I'm actually extremely intimidated to contribute to this story when it comes to my turn.

Don't be intimidated!! Every one of us on this site has something to learn, myself included, and the more you write the more you learn.
I'm excited to see what you do:)
