Why would anyone post a story on SOL? Same reason Edmon Hillary gave for climbing mountains. For the hell of it! (I know you won't believe me, so Google it yourself).
We don't do it for fame nor fortune. We don't do it so you can abuse us. If you don't like a story or don't like the ending? Give it a low score or write your own damn story.
In essence, you are getting what you pay for. You don't have a right to harass us or call us vile names. Rather than telling us we need an editor (which we most likely already know) offer your services.
Positive criticism welcome. Soul killing shit is not. So, if you are bent towards killing our souls and torturing puppies, SHIT AND FALL BACK IN IT.
My story Cherokee Gold was a figment of my deranged mind based in part on a local tall tale. Unfortunately, I fat finger deleted an email from a reader who grew up in NE Oklahoma on a small farm or ranch.
A branch contained by a wooden box fed into a small steam which flowed through their land. As he excavated the hill seeking the water source, he encountered the remains of a stone holding box. While digging this out, he ran across some $20 pieces in a rotted leather bag. They thought maybe the coins were from a plundered Federal payroll train that was left behind in the escape. These coins paid for their college education.
