Forum: Lost Stories

Thanks. Didn't do it in 30 seconds but you're close. I opened the story and the first line contained the kid's name: David Olsen, and I knew you had the right one. Thanks

I wasn't logged in when you posted your query, and then I had to go through the list of Argon's stories because I could not remember the title myself.
David and Mel also make guest appearances in https://storiesonline.net/n/48299/teaming-with-the-shrew and maybe one other story.

I spent the entire day reading; Argon is always a great read but somehow I didn't associate this story with him. What's weird is that I've read the rest of his stories about that town but still didn't connect them. Anyhow, hours later I've finished 12 chapters and need to rest my very tired eyes. Thanks for responding so quickly; it made my day!

In reality, that's true (if more than a little tired). But in fiction, there may be a third option.

I sometimes think that I would prefer the third option. Especially if I was able to choose, when, where, and how.

Old Age Sucks

That's why it's age restricted.

When I meet with a person and he says "Got to see you." my response is, "That's better then being Viewed."

I am compelled to point out that not getting old would suck more.

I'm 81 years old. There are days when everything hurts so badly that I disagree with your compulsion. But then, an hour with my great granddaughter makes me want it to last forever!

My first stint was at 54 (65 now) and was in and out of the hospital in under 48 hours. They shaved everywhere from naval to knees and then went in at the wrist.

When I went in for dye testing they weren't as shaver heavy with me. No dignity, but also no shame. Odd.

Old Age Sucks!

But does it swallow? Or just spits it out in your lap?

Sadky it just sucks the life out of you.
