You have an exceptionally captivating style. Your words paint vivid pictures and you let your reader sit beside you, if only momentarily.

I especially love your ending with the taxi driver; they are some of the most inhumanly stereotyped people in modern culture. They get no respect, yet they are people just like the rest of us. Your story instantly cut through that stereotype and made the inhuman human in the kindest of ways.

Much respect.

Thank you!

You are, as always, very kind, thank you for your reliable and consistent and entirely appreciated generosity and support.

The driver felt more like a guardian angel, as if placed there at that particular moment to give me exactly what I needed. I had the sense that he was dropping me off at the shores of the river Styx, but plugged in to a different wave length, knew that it was not yet my time to cross, and that yes, as one of the homeless guys in the ER said to me, ” We still have miles to go before we sleep…” It was weird, mystical and profound.
