Sometimes one needs to know when to rein it in a bit.

Most interesting for sure.

Thank you for reading!

Some artist do art for art's sake. Some do art for their own sake. Or for others' sake. Some do art to shock. Plenty of rock-stars out there who did something stupid just because they thought it was cool.

Well written. It amused me.

I'm grateful for the kind words. Thank you, and I'm glad you enjoyed.

Hmmmm…The human drive for more can be a blessing and a curse. To desire more can be a boon, or a major detriment. Pete better make sure that he doesn’t go too far with his desire, or he may lose himself. Very well done!

Thank you for taking the time to read it. It's much appreciated!

Nice study on the nature of addiction and ambition, as I read somewhere else, you can approach the edge slowly but go over it very quickly.

I mean everyone on this site would cheer if he went full-anthro, others not so much ;)

Just one tooth... and it begins...

For what it's worth... I was half-asleep when I wrote this, which IMO is often the best time for me (so long as I don't mind generating a few more missing words and typos and such than usual, normally to be fixed in editing later). It was framed as an "externalized inner dialogue narrative", an official-sounding term I just now made up, with heavily symbolic characters and characterization. "Sol" is short for "Solomon", a name often associated with wisdom, "Peter" is a common nickname for a notably impulsive and difficult-to-reason-with male body part. They're very deliberately twins-- the two are, at least hopefully at a certain level in the reader's mind, actually one person. (Note also that Sol excels in "dull" but necessary business skills, and Pete in being madly expressive.) Sol is the Superego, Peter the creative frenzy that is the Id. Thus, "externalized inner dialogue narrative". (There's probably a real, actual name for this sort of approach, but damned if I know what it is.) While you can write a successful story without an underlying emotional framework or "theme" of some kind, in my case I try to find one. I don't always succeed, but I always try.

Thanks for reading, and for running all this!

*smiles... it is a fun thing to be a part of... I've met so many great writers just by doing this... so, you're welcome...

And so it begins. I really is never enough for some.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. =:)
