Fantastic my dear! Love this. Macabre, existential, cruel and beautiful. Those poor kids, like most of us their parents were in it for themselves and the substances that passed for friends in their lives. At least the kids had each other, you gave them that.
How much of this story did you envision before you started writing it? I'd just like to know. I'm not that happy with mine this week, but put it up anyway because I'd done a lot of work on it. I didn't have a clear idea of what I wanted to write at the beginning, and it went sideways from there. meh. So that's why I'm asking. Is this a freewrite of sorts?

Thanks a lot. It's a true story and thus a sort of freewrite I suppose. I wasn't sure about it at all so I'm delighted you like it.
It's really good. Crushing. I'm so sorry.
It's more than half a century ago so it has long lost its power to hurt. These days it's just something to write about.
You have a gold mine if you feel up to the task of writing more "truth in the guise of fiction," @deirdyweirdy. Who knew suffering could fee The Muse like this... your writing is first-rate, and along with @agmoore, I claim to know brilliance when I see it. Your Muse is working for you!!! Keep taking dictation from this part of your soul, this spirit, this impulse... I don't pretend to know what it is or how it works... but I recognize the results when I see them! Bravo! (And my heart aches for that little brother and sister.)
Thanks so much Carol. As you're likely aware, those muses can be fickle fellows though I do believe they feed better on anguish than contentment.
Your supportive words are much appreciated.
Great line: those fickle Muses feed better on anguish than contentment - so it seems!!! As ignorance is bliss, lack of inspiration to write may be a sign of contentment? I like to think so!
You get my vote of support no matter what. :)
