notoole.tumblr.com/My friend Stephen has written a story. I think it's brilliant. If you have 10 mins to spare, read it and tell me what you think . . I may be biased by the respect and affection I feel for my friend.

No, I didn't get it either...I felt there were probably loads of metaphors in there, but I didn't get them.
AH

...too many metaphors >shakes head sadly< That gets me every time. Riot, I always feel bad when I can't get something. Especially as this chap is a friend of yours.  |

He's a lovely wee chap. First class honours in philosophy (so obviously a little weird), and suffers dreadfully from depressions. Skinny.
Very sweet.

I started reading it, but it did not grip me and demand that I continue, so I didn't.
I will try again.

Oh dear.
I won't tell him that you all hate it. It will cast him back down into the pits of deep depression . . .
On the plus side, my 17 year old STUDENT daughter likes it!!! Maybe it's a bit up itself, just like she is.

I did like the idea of an older self and a younger self.
If I met my younger self, christ, what wouldn't I tell her. ;D

He should've included a car chase and a shoot out, maybe a government conspiracy to cover up alien control of the planet or something...it would've livened things up a bit...  AH |

I'd tell mine to travel more, drink less and not have children. I'd tell my younger self to give up smoking much earlier, but to try a spliff before I did (I never tried) I'd also tell her to pull herself together and stop being such a wimp at times and enjoy life and stop worrying. I'd have had one more child. |
