Kappa Tracks

"A story is made up of words and characters. Are the words well chosen and do the characters live? All the rest is literary gossip."

My six decade love affair with the English language compels me to offer a list of authors whose work meets my critical standards. The single criterion operant is the quality of the prose as composed by the writers. I have made no discrimination whatsoever as to subject matter, theme, or plot.

Therefore be warned!

A great many of the works here listed may involve themes or subjects repugnant to some readers. I can only advise that if a particular story cannot be stomached, go on to the next; you will find at least a few to be to your taste.

(have I got a story for you!!)
Self-Preservation(2-07)*****
how synop.this story in a few words?
don't need to-no one with any feeling for
the ultimate tragedy of the T.
will ever forget this one..
^^^^^
Better for her that way; Raphael didn't have
the luxury of wondering if it was better for him.
^^^^^^^^^
...only for the simple reason that he had to die
before anyone else he loved did, and when
an enemy tried to take that away from him,
Raphael had no mercy.
^^^^^^^^
Always, she called him Raphael.
"You can call me Raph, everyone else does."
"That's reason enough why I won't," she replied off-handedly.
^^^^^^^^^^^^
