The streets ran like a river with the morning's torrential downpour. These Chicago streets were his. He walked like a hyena, looking for any weakness, looking for a mark.

I was blinded by the many Imageries, there was this heightened thoughts inside of me and it was really constantly increasing as I kept reading I won't lie to you I was paying attention to how much you could continue and you really did surprise me at the end he was a fest of beautiful instances I could really see every image come alive. Another thing was that it was very brief it made it easy to concentrate not lose focus and I wouldn't lie, best I've read that you've written

Hi Jose.

Thanks for your awesome comment m8. I thought this short story was reasonably good when I was editing it, but it's gr8 to hear that you thought so too.

I'm gearing up to get cracking on a big writing project outside of steem and this has got me enthusiastic for the challenge.

Glad you enjoyed the imagery and twist at the end. Ha ha, imagine if someone really had the power to cause people to swap bodies, I think there's probably more than one story in the premise 😂

That's definitely going to be challenging, but w ll I think you should consider doing an ebook for Amazon could be another possible way to monetize your amazing contents it's quite a hassle but you should consider it

Good to see you back with freewriting, Raj, and what great writing! Xylophone ribs. You're a poet even in fiction. The photos! I love the way you also credit the photography at pixabay - I tried doing that for a short time and gave it up. I maybe copying your method (you nail it!).

Your fiction is always first rate. And raw, gripping, compelling. I want to believe the mother is merely unconscious in the end but won't even ask (she's dead! I know it; she's dead!).

I may never again see cigarette butt in city streets without this scene coming to mind. You do paint vivid pictures.

I'm in panic mode, thinking I saw your post went from $9.63 to $9.61 after I hit the upvote button. I is that even possible? I hope not....

Hi Carol.

Thanks for your feedback which is always genuine and meaningful. The woman isn't meant to be dead at the end, just shaken by the experience.

I wasn't sure if i accurately gave the impression that the girl had caused the criminal and homeless guy to switch bodies? I hoped that at the end where I describe the criminal experiencing the unfamiliar feelings of heroin withdrawal might have done the trick. I'm curious if it came across effectively?

As to the crediting... the method I use is to use the html code

Which looks like this:

That's how to make the text smaller than regular 🙂

Ha ha, don't panic... It won't have been your vote that did that. Rather when you voted the blockchain recalculated the pending payout value of my post according to the current steem token price. So basically, the price has gone down a little between when you cast your vote and the person who voted before you.

I understand it may seem disconcerting to watch it happen... but it's likely enough that the token price may rise again before the 7 day payout hits.

lol it's almost like we need a college degree to understand how steem functions 😉
