I just started reading this site this morning and haven’t been able to stop. Your story is deepling moving and this last piece brought tears to my eyes. A lot of these pieces have reminded me of some of my favorite memories, most of which fall within the same timeframe of the worst parts of my life. While going through these memories is painful at sometimes, doing so while reading your story is helpful. Thank you.

I’ve got nothing constructive to add, other than my appreciation for your writing, DevilMonkey.

Are you people fucking kidding me?
“You didn’t sum up the story for me”
“You talk about trashcans too much”
“blah blah whine whine, etc,etc”
This guy writes some of the best shit I’ve EVER seen on the internet, updates it like a madman and is providing it to you FOR FREE!!
There’s nothing wrong with contructive criticism but some of you are fucking retards.
Keep up the good work DevilMonkey!

I want to write something full of praise that is elegant and intelligent.
Right at this moment, however, all I can come up with is ‘your stories fucking rock’.

This is good writing. You are tiptoing that line of triteness at the end, but somehow, you manage to barely avoid it, probably by stopping right where you did. I doubt its accidental because it would have shown somewhere else in your other stories, but it hasnt really. I guess that means you have talent. Keep it up.

I’m glad you finally decided bringing out the trash cans and squeegies, it seems like you mentioned that im every entry but never described them. But it’s kind of like your wording seems to be changing and your thought process as you mature. It’s good. I don’t write but I know a good writer when I see one.

So… I’ve come to the conclusion that you need to write a book. Now.
Sitting here biting my nails in anticipation of the next installment is taking quite a toll on my psyche. The only logical solution I can come up with is a Devilmonkey book; a long Devilmonkey book.
Make it happen.
