LITERATURE & IF: Story

First, the IF piece, Book and Volume:  Finally got the secret code word that answers the pager.  Simple, and I’d thought I’d already tried it, but I guess not in the right sequence.  Anyway, the response on my part was just as I’d remembered all my ventures into IF and game stories: Click save and close the program, breathing a victory sigh of relief.  This gives my heart time to slow back down to its normal flub-dub perhaps adding minutes back to the hours the stress has taken off my life.

In Prairie Schooner’s Wolves, I am immediately grabbed (and so turn around and escape the book to share with ya’ll) by the metaphor.  The fly was one thing; likely the death of the relationship or of the woman’s own desire to fight anymore.  But the wolf, a word her husband says aloud while working a crossword puzzle, is kept to herself as a symbol.  Likely, the symbol of her restlessness and emerging change in thinking of herself as a separate entity from the couple she’s been in pair with her husband.  Very nice work.
