Of course, I'm not sure without re-reading what creature you had in mind, but you caught the indecision brilliantly. I realise now that it was a cat - though our dogs are fickle, especially if it's raining. In fact, at one moment I was relating as someone dependent on others to get out in my wheelchair.

I imagine this same monologue runs through my dog's head at least four times a day. There are those rare moments, though, when I think she's given up on life because she turns her head away from the door and won't even look at it.

Great that your brother helped you to get your idea posted. Love monologues. My senior English students are doing one as their next assignment. Makes you dig into a character. <br /><br />Awesome, non-boring entry for the WEP. Thank you for joining us this month and I hope you enjoy the experience and return in October for our horror fest.<br /><br />DeniseDenise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478317097848112987.post-34371625289256722302018-08-16T22:16:57.736-05:002018-08-16T22:16:57.736-05:00Deborah, as an introvert myself, I can see the sim...Deborah, as an introvert myself, I can see the similarities :)Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15165210377903518274noreply@blogger.com
