Whoa, good job. It's not quite the way I think, but its pretty close...I love your perspective; great job!

The first thing I thought of was the elderly. We tend to "put them away and forget" ya know? I don't know if that was your intention- or to just bring to light that we allow our hearts (and others') to die: "Put them away and forget". Still- I felt a deep sorrow and a sharp lonliness about it. Though most of your work creates a wake of 'brooding' and 'grimness'- it is given in detail and true to the emotions. I like it. Definite talent for writing! :-D

I like this one, I sorta feel that way sometimes...well...alot... ^ ^;; Anyway, keep writing!

Deep one, nice one, short one!
Keep writing.
