I recall SK mentioning somewhere about his fear of dementia. Joe did such an amazing job with his fictitious analogy, yet all of the details are spot on - heartbreaking. Papa must've been incredibly impressed by this story.
I remember thinking several times how relieved I felt that Michael realized, before it was too late, how much Shelly meant to him.
Thanks. Yeah, I think there were a few valuable lessons buried in the story. One being that teenagers are often more sensitive, intelligent and considerate than we give them credit. |

Finally read the story. It was a good story but would have been better if it were 70 pages long instead of 90. But both Michael and the description of Alzheimers was very good.
Will try to be in time when it comes to Loaded. Looking forward to it.

Next Wednesday (7-15) we will be discussing Loaded by Joe Hill from the book Strange Weather. Be there, aloha.
Feel free to add more brain droppings about Snapshot to this thread any time.

"I believe that our subconscious often finishes ideas hours, days, weeks, even years before it decides to present them to the higher reaches of the brain."
