Now that's a shame. Years ago I posted a piece about my 'kindness' to our cat.....

Cool topic.  When I first read the topic, I actually misread it as "the Kindness of Animals" which made me think of the dark, twisted Ian McEwan novel, The Comfort of Strangers, which was kinda creepy and laconic, and my mind immediately went off in one of those directions before I realized that I'd misread, and was inspired to write something anyway.  Funny how that works, and now I'm off to consider writing stuff, animals, and whatnot.  Don't be surprised if there's a story in the Writer's Gallery, entitled: "The Comfort of Unkind Animals"...(who knew that misreading could lead to so much?)

I'm thinking already, but whoa ... Chip's got me beat all to heck in the creative thinking department!  LOL!

Eh, it's not creative thinking: it's just reading something the wrong way (accidentally).  But see, I like the idea of "Unkind Animals" as a topic now, but what I'm writing stays on-topic.  It'll be ready once I actually sit my bony-butt down and actually write; at the moment, I just have scraps of random things wrtten on a receipt from Taco and Burrito King, three-quarters of a receipt from Walgreens, and half of a memo from work.  (Plot ideas and random doodles don't really go together, in case you were wondering.)  the Taco and Burrito King near my job is really nice.  90% of the guys behind the counter are hotties, and two of them are major readers.  The hottest of the hotties is reading Octavia E. Butler now.  Yeah.  Looks like I should go get another recepit.  I won't have to order anything, just get a recept.

LOL!  Good luck with the reading hottie!  :)

I think AuntieTK is a hottie, but that's probably TMI.

LOL!  Thanks Chris!    Now you're making ME blush!

A good blush in the writing forums is always fun.  Still working on the Kindness to Animals thing...I keep wanting to put a cockroach in it, but I think the cockroach might actually deserve a separate story.  Kindness to unkind cockroaches?  They are very particular about where they live.  They require clean filth and fresh moisture.  Who knew?  If something is too dirty for a cockroach, humans had best steer clear too...but yeah, I really do think that's a different topic...

Got it!  My answer to the challenge is in the Writer's Gallery.  :)

Thanks again, Jeff!
