Hi Peter, this was very funny - the character of the cow was drawn so well and the whole premise too, had me smiling as I read. I liked the way the story built too - how Jimmy’s state of mind develops such highs and lows as he struggles to deal with such a surreal situation.

And this was my fav line (from the cow)

“I grew tired of feeling greenery beneath my hooves and decided to experiment with tarmac, which, it transpires, is to my liking”

“In the end, all hands were the same” I can’t decide if this is incredibly beautiful or incredibly tragic. Maybe both. But the line that I liked the most and hit home for me was, “Outside required happyfacing. Not for others. Screw other people. She did it for herself.” It gave me the chills. A bit how I feel most days. Then again, I’m used to people being useless! Thanks Patricia.

After my daughter’s advice I read your story and I think it’s a fascinating one of a kind story, thanks Patricia

From the title to the end it felt like a second bun hours full of story, very catching

Not only you are a great teacher but also you have the ability to let us feel the colors, the emotions and the moment of your thoughts through your writing. So when is this stuff getting published…?

A repetitive, droning atmosphere is created by the short, bland sentences and minimal structural variation. It’s an interesting result, that suits the content even if in this piece the emotional backdrop isn’t as showcased as it could be. I’d be interested to see what else the author can do with this style.

Cheerful number, this! I love her attitude, and I’m a sucker for post-industrial settings. “In the end, all hands were the same.” Love it.

I always enjoy reading Patricia’s stories. They are so imaginary yet realistic that they catch my eye from the very first line. I hope Rippy takes a long time before he knocks at our doors…

Patricia Russo has woven a future we all face one way or another. I liked the spiders. Another great story, Patricia!
