Oh boy the poor dad!!! I enjoyed this last one, but my favorite is still air. I am Virgo , of earth, and am rarely depressed. Thank heavens!

I think HE got out at the last minute! Whew! I am so grateful, that you are rarely depressed! What a wonderful gift to have, as depression really DOES feel, sometimes, like everything is collapsing in on you.

quick boys, call 911! Lots of tension and action in this short piece. Good use of the form!
