(Plus, the dead Derek was the speaker's roommate.) And a terrific voice it is, too. It comes across as very authentic. I love this start and the tone it sets. Great title, too.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733289016000331233.post-82406875577356220352011-08-01T08:12:23.912-04:002011-08-01T08:12:23.912-04:00pulled me in right away and I loved the voice.

It's so true about being automatically absolved of all wrong doing in eulogies once the person is dead. <br /><br />Well this prologue certainly got my attention! Yay!! I like the critique too - I can see about the "unfortunate for my conscience" too. Thanks for sharing! Take care<br />xOld Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185547869183611159noreply@blogger.com
