RE: Trapper Keeper :: 50 Word Short Story
I revisited your story here today, having belatedly realized that I am completely ignorant of what a "Trapper Keeper" might be.
Consulting the oracle, I am now duly enlightened. This also provides further confirmation that I must have fairly recently been dropped onto this planet, despite my persistent delusion that I have lived here all of my life.
I also attempted to ex-post-facto reward you for this cool and evocative story (yes, I was of course not one of the cool kids, so it resonates) which I somehow failed to reward earlier... however, I discovered that there are no recent enough comments to reward.
Plan B: find a recent @negativer comment and vote the heck out of it, and/or lurk and pounce on the next available Neg comment...
I hope your travels in the Land Whale have been going well and that you had a blessed Christmas in the frozen north... ;)
😄😇😄
P.S. So I found and read this cool history of the Trapper Keeper. I now understand why I was oblivious to it; it came after my time.
Guess, like most of my troubles, it's just that I am old... :O
I still remember my old Trapper Keeper with the fancy Lamborghini on the front and probably some lightning and geometric shapes in the background. One of the few positive moments from my school years :)
I wonder if I still have mine hidden away in a box somewhere. I'm such a packrat, it's entirely possible.
My thanks for you consistently quality comments, insights, and content over the past year, @creatr. Happy New Year!
And a very Happy New Year to you and yours as well, my friend...
How are your efforts at writing for "conventional" publication going?
