: : : Is there more? This sounds like the opening of a terrific (in both senses of the word) epic. I want more! I'm hooked.

: : Wow, thanks John. It is just a document of where i'm at right now. I'm sure there will be more, as there always is more. The story just keeps unfolding and we are all part of it.
: Seriously, I would love to read more. I'm at a place right now where something dreamy and echoing reality and deftly written so even the very sounds of the words help weave the story is really a good thing. I'm reminded of reading Coleridge and Pushkin and others that I can't remember. If you get inspired to continue this please post or just send it to me directly.
Thanks for your interest. I'm not writing any stories at present. Those were just little nuggets that popped into my head one night. I do have a few writing projects that I have been meaning to work on though and I hope to begin at least one of those in the spring. These have nothing to do with the stuff I wrote above though. Most of the images in what I wrote above hearken back to recent dreams I had.
You know, one day I'd love to put DREGS PUBLISHING or something like it back together, but I'm sure that was alot of work for you and not many takers. Still, I liked the idea of having master copies of all our works. I actually still have the copies of your essays and stories and I read them from time to time.
