The older woman is a recluse, the young girl is leaving an unwanted child in the brush. Both are making decisions to check out on life in one fashion or another. But the baby is responding with an innate desire to live. I'm thinking I should have made mention of a boyfriend in the girl's part. Ah well...<br /><br />And regarding NPR, liberal - overall, yes? Consequently, a misuse of the roughly 6% of government funding We The People provide? Still, I find much of it still good news reporting and worthwhile to listen to. I also appreciate it's BBC affiliate from time to time. And I love The Splendid Table and Thistle and Shamrock - and almost all the time, Talk of the Nation, which my son D interned with.<br /><br />Plus, it gives me fodder for things to write about from time to time, or at least muse over, even if I never get to writing.<br /><br />Looking forward to blogging after Christmas!Shylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01383554856386814352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174329395241476097.post-46002454627998373562010-12-21T21:03:42.418-08:002010-12-21T21:03:42.418-08:00I used to work at NPR...I used to work at NPR...Dominichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08910334473512284374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174329395241476097.post-12137471144618079322010-12-17T13:37:17.206-08:002010-12-17T13:37:17.206-08:00Oh, I did know that it was a baby.

I missed it also. I was confused thinking that the bundle in the dark was the woman.<br /><br />Possibly the additional detail could have come after the first sentence of the last paragraph.<br /><br />But what do I know. I had no knowledge of such a contest, seeing as how I am outraged at the mere existence of NPR.<br /><br />Overall, I think your writing is good.
