It's true that the readers won't know about the grackle being Signor Ryf or about the dust as sand which is actually time or about the grackle living in the love letter. But I think it kind of gives a magical touch to it if you don't know what was going through the writers head when they were writing it. Without the explanation it lets the story stand on its own. It lets the reader decide what the dust was and it lets them wonder about it without asking things like "What? The Grackle was Signor Ryf? an so on and so forth. Still, great idea and a really good first short story. Keep up the good work!!Laurapoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16971772522868030460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3684503597978064220.post-28123305386098574802009-06-21T12:19:28.529-05:002009-06-21T12:19:28.529-05:00Well, Signor Ryf is that grackle. The grackle does...Well, Signor Ryf is that grackle. The grackle doesn't know that he's Signor Ryf. A grackle is a black bird that looks a little like a crow. Ok, there's light outside of the drop slot. There's no light in the drop slot. So, when the letter is dropped in there, the sky turns dark(just not very quickly). <br />WRITE ONE!! :DIndigohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03166008781716974580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3684503597978064220.post-11720331732115499362009-06-21T07:51:58.132-05:002009-06-21T07:51:58.132-05:00Confused but amused (hey that rhymed),...still don...Confused but amused (hey that rhymed),...still don't quite get the part about how he's both Signor Ryf and the Grackle(and whatever the shmuck is a Grackle?) and how the dark relates to the drop slot...makes me wanna write my own short story, albeit one that makes a little more senseDevan Mossnoreply@blogger.com
