Great Story!!, you got it rolling along wonderfully and it didn't stop till the end, it felt autobiographical.
I well remember Kilroy. For several years I carried Kilroy on my notebooks as a young student. Thank You for the memories. Ronnie W.
I liked this one, will look at the other!
What about closely related names?

As usual, the editors pick is a piece of crap. You write a good story. Keep it up, but it's not that good.
Re yuck 10/24/05 by Anonymous - what an uncouth piece of arrogance. The Editor's opinion seemed fine to me. Thank you for being so intelligent, nice and discerning Editor.
Folks,
Stories are written to be read and enjoyed. It was fun and I enjoyed it, not perfect but fun!

toward the end there is the phrase "Kilroy were here". Isn't it supposed to be "Kilroy was here" or am I missing something? The story was a little too bare bones and over too fast to get a feel for the characters...kind of like a hurricane smashing through at 35 miles per hour.
10/24/05 by sack in USA wrote saying the pace was too fast, leaving the characters too thin and that I wrote "Kilroy were here." (1) I write at a fast clip for fast readers; sorry about that. I'm a fast reader and a fast copy checker, which is why I sometimes let thru mistakes. But (2) I didn't make a mistake - Seymour the tattooist wrote that - he never was good at grammar especially when working at that level! You don't believe me? When I next see Veronica I'll photograph it for you, but unfortunately the background is probably getting wrinkled by now. I appreciate your comments and sorry I left you dissatisfied. Trust you have better luck with the upcoming 'The Usherette'.
I love it when a girl enters into the spirit of things,or should that be the other way around?It just shows that you should neve give up the ghost!
