Sensa "Hugh" Moore
An Obituary
Sensa "Hugh" Moore passed quietly in January, 2024, after a long battle with complications from COVID-19, with several other contributing factors cited. Born to Further and Annie Moore in Hey, MO, his parents have requested his birthdate be withheld, stating, "We prefer to think of him as ageless."
Sensa was best known for his public service work, in which he apparently helped people in all walks of life cope with day-to-day challenges. He is particularly well known in literary circles, with a reputation as someone whom a writer could call on for ideas at the drop of a hat (or hint, or kick, or cloth or preposition).
His loving wife, Syca Moore, told this journalist, "Sensa brought photosynthesis to my days. Everyone that knew him commented on how he seemed to brighten any situation."
Sensa is survived by his wife Syca, their twin daughters Ever and Never, daughter Sopho, sons Balti, Hacka and Clay, and granddaughters, Lessis, Sum and Gimmee.
Due to the overwhelming number of souls Sensa's life touched, the family has respectfully requested that the time and location of his interment be left unpuplished. In lieu of gifts of flowers, etc. subscriptions, comments and tips can be left in the care of this journalist. Personal stories of interaction with Hugh can be shared on Vocal in remembrance.

A/N: I realize the Neolomicro Challenge closed yesterday. I managed to get one entry in and I hadn't intended to do another one, so that's ok. The fact is, while accompanying my wife to Hobby Lobby today, it occurred to me how her Christmas Spirit shines in the custom stockings she's constantly knitting this time of year. My mind being what is, something came to mind, and well, I'll just leave this right here.

Doing it for the troops
The others dropped like flies around me. We fought and struggled to get to this point. I'm the only one left now. The objective is right there. A mere two hundred feet away. The last of my team got a bullet to the head right next to me, but I couldn't do anything. I was able to locate and neutralise the sniper as he shot my friend, so his death was at least not in vain.

WOW! Very amazing work!!
Bloody brilliant! I laughed all the way through this! So good!
hahaha! Needed this laugh today! Dana, you are hilarious! This was too good—so clever! I love your humor pieces! Keep em' coming!
Obits & funnies pages combined, touching on both & everything in between.
Hahahahaahhahahhahaha Syca Moore killed me! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Gosh you're so brilliant! Loved your Sensa Hugh Moore! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Holy crap, Dana, this is GOLD! I adore your commitment to the bit here. All those puns...I need to send this to my dad, he would die! (Especially at "Balti" as that's where he's from.) Lessis was by far my favorite grandchild, btw. You must have dug a bit to find Hacka and Clay, though. They were clearly out of the public awareness! This paragraph, though. Underrated. And brilliant: "Sensa was best known for his public service work, in which he apparently helped people in all walks of life cope with day-to-day challenges. He is particularly well known in literary circles, with a reputation as someone whom a writer could call on for ideas at the drop of a hat (or hint, or kick, or cloth or preposition)." Bravo!
Absolutely delightful and "moorealy" responsible. loved it
Very funny Dana! I had to double and triple check to make sure no one had actually died lol
I love your Sensa "Hugh" Moore, Dana! I nearly spit my coffee out laughing when I got down to the kids' and grandkids' names. Great stuff!
hahaha. I knew his cousin S. He was sweet, and kinda hot.
You had me going at the beginning there! 🤣
The family has some unique names lol! Well done Dana!
Oh, I like this one!
