Some way to really lose your shirt!

Methinks the wordsmith has scoured the depths of every dictionary known to man for the rarest of idioms in his search for magniloquence and is infatuated with the semi-colon, elevating its use well beyond its humble station in the art of communication.

It's an interesting story, but difficult to read.

To start with, wrong category. There are several where this might be appropriate, but this is not one of them. Next, adding lines like "Angela naked lost in forest-sketch" does nothing for the story. Perhaps putting it in Illustrated would enable some feature to actually add images instead of alternative text?

ROFL Lifestyle66 pretty much nailed it for all of us.

I don’t know what Lifestyle said, but it sure sounded good. I thought the author was just a little wordy.

Sorry, I hated it after just the first half of the 1st page. I found tje old-fashioned style overdone and not helpful to the story at all. And I am a person that has Alexander Dumas (3 Musketeers, etc) as one of my favorite authors and have read quite a few classic novels and enjoyed them, that genuinely have this style. It just fell flat.

Would have been a good story if you had thrown away the thesaurus.

I agree w/anonymous. To wordy.
