Good story, and a great piece of art for inspiration.

*smiles very big... thanks so very much Walt...

That was a really good story, I know the A-10 titanium tub that the pilot was enclosed in could take 25 mm cannon fire I don't know how well it would survive a Sam missile.

That was a really good read and I really enjoyed the artwork thank you for sharing

You're most welcome Fem... thanks for reading...

V.

You are welcome

thank you Marm...

V.

I got chills reading this.

*smiles very big...

thank you...

V.

That was a powerful read! It went real nicely with the picture you linked.

thank you so very much... your words are very much appreciated...

V.

Your bodiless characters are always some of your most memorable and most interesting. A nifty tale to be sure.
*hugs*

you always make me smile Wire... thank you...

Have to admit, I relate to Cherry more than I'd usually want to admit.

Who would have thought the blending of one lupine's musings about maths and a pilot's stories of war would gel together for quite a potent and impactful effect.

It help's that you've quite the skill in making your characters have a genuine presence, regardless of how much they appear in the story themselves.

P.S. Anapáfsou en eiríni, Steven H.

and like me - math has never been my friend, though I was good with my hands... by the by, what language is your 'PS'? Google translate was baffled.

V.

Feeling's mutual, I grew up with a maths disability.

The language is Modern Greek, it roughly translated to "rest in peace, Steven H."

Ohhhhh... gotcha.... I like it...

V.

I really like the notion of art being the catalyst, the trigger, to close the circle between the past and the present. Even by your high standards, Vixyy, this was a remarkable piece.

*blushes... and then bows... thank you so very much An...

Ya know, I can relate a lot to not liking numbers much, if at all. And being able to tie them to experiences, and to something that's often removed from equations is a very thoughtful approach. Especially through writing. The character detail in this really stood out and gave emotion and personality to the wolf, a whole life that we simply gazed a moment of, with the thoughts, feelings, and brief yet filling explanation of where they are in life. This was a pleasure to read!

thank you so very much... this brought joy to my morning...

V.

Thanks for sharing, V.
That piece of artwork is truly inspiring, full of emotion. I can totally understand how the story came to you.
Very interesting, how you linked Pi with the airstrike. I've never really had a mind for numbers either, but I really like the way Cherry came to the revelation.

*smiles very big... much thanks...

V.

*smiles... I'm so happy you enjoyed it Bering...
