(for R.C.)

Ashes

Floating along the ebbs of the ocean,
toward the horizon, where time has no say,
an end that will never be reached.

I love this. It reminds me of a recent burial at sea I shared with my Aunt for her son. Somany feelings are brought to mind. Great story.

Always a satisfying moment, reading these. Do you think you will publish your twitterstories in a collection someday?

Re: would of, could of should of...

I'm so glad someone else has this peeve...! I see this in print! In books! Yikes, and double yikes!

Are you, perchance, related to Robert Cormier?

Author

Darren Cormier lives in the Boston area. He is the author of A Little Soul: 140 Twitterstories. His fiction has appeared in Opium Magazine, Meetinghouse, Amoskeag, Every Day Fiction, Raft Magazine, Arch Literary Journal, and One Forty Fiction, Ether Books, and Seedpod Publishing. Writing peeves: there should be a comma before the "and" in a set of three or more items; it is "A historic" not "AN historic"--the 'h' is pronounced; would've, could've, and should've are contractions and should never be written as "would of," "could of," or "should of"; and "ATM machine" is redundant.
He also invented the giraffe.
