Camy Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Rainbow's end is Lugnutz's (why do I always giggle when I type his name?) second short story - the first being Dragstip, which was part of Midnight Dude: Selected Readings - purchase your copy here! Written as part of the Sanitaria Springs collection of stories, Rainbow's End is a tale of wistfulness and yearning that has a feelgood ending which left me happy and smiling. What more could you want from a short story? Quote Link to comment
Merkin Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Thanks to Lug for a totally believable and very sweet addition to the Sanitaria Saga. Every time I thought it was going to end, another layer of story appeared that added to its charm. He even got a Jeep into it. Quote Link to comment
Lugnutz Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 A squirrel gets the nut once in a while. I really did the sand blocks across the road when I was 11-12 with the advertised results. BTW, I decided to let this be a early birthday present for Beagle. Surprise! Quote Link to comment
blue Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 I'm part-way through Luggie's Tale and enjoying it. Luggie needs to write more. I'd get more reading and writing done today, but it keeps coming up with heavy thunderstorms. Loved the sand blocks. Heheheh. Quote Link to comment
colinian Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Very, very nice. The people are real and the read is easy. You've added some interesting new characters to Sanitaria Springs that others can incorporate in their tales. I'll bet you actually did the sand blocks thing when you were a kid. I would have if I'd had a source of sand. The snow part is a no-go; we don't get snow in our part of the continent. Colin Quote Link to comment
Guest Dabeagle Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Great job Luggie! It came along way from the rough drafts you started with and I can tell you did a ton of work, new writing and some great ideas. Well done! Quote Link to comment
Gee Whillickers Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Very well done and entertaining story. I agree with Blue, about the writing more thing. Thanks for sharing this with us. Quote Link to comment
Lugnutz Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Sent my boss the link to it and he liked it. It's not his cup of tea but he said it was easy to read and was done well. Quote Link to comment
Chris James Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Yes, Luggie, a delightful addition. I got a good snicker out of the sand blocks, just the kind of thing my cousin and I did when I was 12. (We strung a line with tin cans across the road, you already know what happened...I got spanked) Quote Link to comment
