100 DAYS PROJECT: #42
The Apple Song
This is a story that’s been hiding from me for a while because it didn’t have all the pieces in one place. I think what kicked it to life was the wild wedding crowd of Steve’s story and in particular, the ‘blindness’ of the people to what they obviously were seeing.
The character of Jasper has been rambling around in my mind picking up parts of himself from people that have left those parts in my soul.
The mapping of this piece might need some reworking as the reader can easily miss a good half of the story even as I thought I’d offered a couple of crossover avenues of accessiblity. But then, I never really leave any story left alone for the first twenty four hours after posting it. Meanwhile, this particular map can be enlarged to find your way.

Yeah, I’m glad to see some of this starting to come out in song/story. I like the bridge to Vietnam, too. I’d like to hear more…

Well I tackled global warming in #40 so I’m coming out a bit politically in story. It’ll all be in bits and pieces because there are so many angles, so many things to consider on all sides of every question.
