Certainly not the best tone for a story. But it’s perfect for this one.

I try to mimic the way people generally speak.

And you’re pretty good at it.

Yes, nearly half the word count is “and” — and that’s quite enough to ruin a badly-written story.

What’s wrong with this ending? It’s beautiful.

P.S. The narrator’s “voice” is completely different from your usual one.

When I re-read what the guy says it read almost like an instruction manual or a cookbook. While not the best tone for a story, I liked the effect here.

I love the impatient sentences too. I try to mimic the way people generally speak. A guy speaking at length, unless an accomplished orator, will not have the same structure and coherence a written paragraph has. I think half the word count is ‘and’. :/

I’m thinking of extending it but I don’t have a better ending.

P.S. Really? In what way?

P.P.S. Indeed!

Brilliant piece. Very well-written.

I love:
> the way time has been compressed: the old man becomes interchangeable with men from earlier wars, and men who will fight wars in the future.
> the impatient sentences. [If these sentences could be a person, they'd be someone who keeps trudging even when there's no hope; someone who knows that it's all pointless but keeps fighting anyway, because that's what they do].
> the last line.

P.S. This style is quite different from your original one.

P.P.S. Writer’s block my ass!

I hate the movie. Don’t ask why. It was just sad.

I agree with Ish.

P.S. The guy who can save this blog is too lazy to write a proper post.

Whenever I get such calls, I am all to sweet and sugary with them. I politely turn them down after listening to them for a few minutes. But then I have never had the experiences you have mentioned.
And, Babubhai Bhanji!!! What were you thinking??
