Lets just say... I was NOT expecting that ending. Sad, yet quite funny at the same time. Great stuff Barry.
Barry, I found your island tale very engaging and interesting. It held my attention throughout. I felt like I was on the island, with your protagonist and his tortoise friend. I also found a bit of irony in the ending. The friendly 'Boris' was hoping to make a meal out of his buddy, but instead he became a meal himself. Lol! Poor little guy! This engrossing story definitely has my vote.
Well, Barry, it's obvious that you simply dredged up another true story from your past and tweaked it a bit... when are you going to come up with something original?
Okay, ya hooked me again. This was simply fabulous, had me laughing all the way, as usual. Great "work."
I'm still laughing as I write...oh where does your mind go to think up such stuff.
