[stylist] Another story

Shawn, I can't remember if I had commented but I can  nod and agree with 
Jackie here... you do make us think and your imagination is  superb.  The 
house on legs is actually I'm accustomed so that really did  make me smile..

Shawn,
What an imagination. I like the description of your  characters: Alex and
Igor, but particularly, I love the "legs" supporting  the house, their
angular bendings and rolling gait. 
I wish I had a  house on legs that would take me out of this heat to the
coast of  Oregon!
The house of Baba Yaga with its silo concept is original and  intriguing. 
The
colors in her studio, the vistas from higher up.
I was  not expecting an ending returning Alex to his home. 
I used to be intrigued  by science fiction, Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451
still to be read, but  since trying to write a science fiction story for a
college class, I find  it frustrating.
Also, I spend all of my spare time listening to the  advances in science 
that
are giving our lives a science fiction quality  now.
I do not like to think about leaving this world without knowing what  will
happen in the next thirty years. It will be a different world for all  of
you.
Keep writing. You make us think.
Jackie

I am attaching a story I  submitted several years ago to the writer's
contest.

Recently, I  used it in a writer's workshop at Balticon (a local science
fiction  convention); we read the first few paragraphs of our work; then we
went out  and savaged each others stuff in the spirit of  constructive
criticism.  As a result, I decided to clean the story up  and hope to send 
it
out to magazines in the near future.

Please let  me know what you think.
