What is it with people suddenly 'liking' stories and not commenting.

What is the point? What is this lethargy which is settling like a dark cloud over us all. Or maybe it's just me.

I read your story today

Liked it a lot actually

I will not however, bother to comment

Kinda' like I have better ones to go read

Excuse me while I light my spliff (weed)

Your

Story

Very

Much

But not enough to leave a comment or to garner you the coveted ha'penny (thanks again Hannah) which Vocal pays for your inner thoughts

Leaving you guessing on whether or not I actually read the dang story, or if I am just patronizing you with a lovely like.

I do read for read or I just read. I do not, however, do read for 'like's.

I am aware that I could read more, so could everyone, we do the best we can

I'm sorry if you feel offended!!!

Welcome to my world!!!

But I comment on all that I read. Even the AI ones. So disconcerting, the inability to return a read. Cause I am just not going searching for your name. Thank you anyway for the 'like'.

Read as a Quasi-Acrostic downwards...I may have just invented a new poetry style.
