Most people who have read my blogs in the past know of my open obsession with all things Refusenik and my need for new stories from this wonderful author. I would happily give all of my neighbor's hard-earned money for new stories from that incredible story-telling brain.
But this blog is not about Refusenik.
This time, I am openly calling out to an amazing wordsmith with the beginning of a great story here on SOL. I know it is not exactly an original story with all the incredible stories that got started and never finished here on SOL.
"Stone Age Cabin" by Wildnature is already listed in my favorite authors list under my name. But I really enjoy that story. There is a great universe he created following in the footsteps of others like CMSIX, Monbade, Aubie56, Howard Faxon, and too many others to name.
The problem is that I find myself having difficulty putting my finger on exactly why I like it so much.
It is not perfectly written. The majority of things here are that way, including my humble stories I've posted, so far. But the story flows and the characters are well-written and easy to understand. The conversations between the dead human "Doc" and his introduction to the aliens who put him on another planet like Earth currently with humans in evolutional timing like our own caveman days here on the third rock from the sun in this solar system. Yeah, the pretty blue one that is putting a filter of trash over itself.
Okay, enough of that. Back to it, Shiner.
Anywho, Stone Age Cabin begins... you know what... fuck all that! I'm not gonna rehash the story for y'all. I could point you guys to it, but it is not that hard to find.
I'm just openly calling out Wildnature to continue the story himself. It has the potential to go down some interesting paths. And I for one, would love to see which one Wildnature was getting ready to take us down.
This is all a feeble attempt to get a fellow author back on that horse and post more chapters for a story that deserves to be read.
Now, before I go (yes, I hear you loud, few out there, "Why aren't you writing Mayhem?"), Well, zip it. I took a bit of a break over the weekend, returned to a story I had not read for a few months, and thoroughly enjoyed it again.
So now the writer's flaws are satiated, and it is time to return to Mayhem. The amount of football is dropping significantly with the end of the college football season quickly approaching. It has the last few weeks of back-to-back bowl games that I always enjoy, and then, of course, my beloved Cowboys quieted down many of the naysayers.
So until next time... Wildnature, you keep writing, and if you have a chance, tell Refusenik I'm still looking for him!
