I know the number of downloads we get a week, (40 - 50) but like our friend over at the 100 WS contest I wonder if they are just bots. The idea of 1000 people downloading a story from GH like they did with Some other Scotland seems almost beyond reach.

Reading a story is a wonderful thing, but some stories were meant to told aloud. There are things that you can get from the stories this week if read them and other things that you can only get when you hear them. I snickered to myself as I read both Norval's and Eric's stories this week, but as I was preparing the podcast, I actually laughed out loud with tears involved as I listened to these two readings. This of course woke the baby, but the delay was well worth it because the stories made me happy. In much the same way the story a few weeks ago written By Norval Joe, that brought tears to my eyes, and put a knot in my stomach as I listened to the girl contemplate suicide. I read that story and enjoy it even with the pain it brings, but I listen to that story and it has a much more profound effect. I have to say that this is the reason I podcast the stories. This is why I listen to fiction as much as I read it. There are just some things that you can only get from a good story telling. <br />So thank you to all of the authors this week, and every week or write and record such wonderful stories.Jeff Hitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17896342831442603516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8555963434312586750.post-62255088444388866312009-08-02T12:47:26.758-04:002009-08-02T12:47:26.758-04:00Well, heck, I'll vote for my self.

I left ...Norval Joe's story was truly awesome! I left right out of high school at seventeen to attend army basic training, turned eighteen at Ford Gordon in Augusta Georgia and was on my own from then on. I was never called upon to fight in a war during my service though I would have in a heartbeat. What Norval Joe's story illustrates with resounding certainty is the price for every American's right to choose; what to say, how to dress, the manner in which to express ourselves, where and how to live and every other decision that we all as americans take for granted in our daily lives has been bought and paid for by unimaginable sacrifice by our fellow citizens past and present. The story is a microdrama of the same scenarios that play out unseen and unheard every day in the states allowing all americans to be exactly whatever they want, in most cases, without lifting one finger to earn such luxurious freedoms. The story is exemplary Norval Joe. God bless America and God bless the servicemen and women who do what they do to help keep america the land of the free.Ashley Reddennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8555963434312586750.post-36728207165676293872009-06-27T10:47:23.196-04:002009-06-27T10:47:23.196-04:00I really enjoyed Noval Joe's Alien's Among...I really enjoyed Noval Joe's Alien's Among Us.
