I think the idea of alcohol being the sunshine in cup made a lot of sense. Perhaps you could work on this further?InkPaperPenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14595595934607152505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-203191163528847405.post-21490338815343779722011-10-22T14:12:41.390+10:002011-10-22T14:12:41.390+10:00Another interesting take on 'sunshine in a cup...Another interesting take on 'sunshine in a cup' - or rather, the dark side of sunshine in a cup!

You have done a wonderful job capturing a sad, real-life scenario of a person succumbing to addiction and an enabling but caring loved one or helper.

Great use of words like "shepherding" to create the picture of enabler and addict. There is a lot of sadness in this piece.<br /><br />--Feisty CatA.K.

The ...Thanks very much HoP, dialogue can be tricky! The time limit prevented me from going too deep but if I had the time I think this story would branch out into a study of struggle. The struggle of addiction and the struggle of someone as an enabler and fighting to be strong and nurse the addict back to health. I guess when it comes down to it, the first person is both carer and bartender ;)Sheri Bombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18220906981157426429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-203191163528847405.post-49550805471223741462011-10-19T13:41:17.214+10:002011-10-19T13:41:17.214+10:00I enjoyed it but wanted to know more about the rel...I enjoyed it but wanted to know more about the relationship between the two.<br />I thought maybe it was a bartender at the start?<br />Or maybe they are as Lillie mentioned above.<br />I love your realistic and natural dialogue.Kristy Prowsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01955912299442971932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-203191163528847405.post-65589544309867651732011-10-19T10:24:34.389+10:002011-10-19T10:24:34.389+10:00Thanks Lillie, I think this idea has been kicking ...Thanks Lillie, I think this idea has been kicking around in my head for a few weeks. I heard some lyrics to a song the other day, something along the lines of 'my good old buddy whiskey keeps me warmer than sunshine' and I haven't been able to get it out of my head. I guess when I read the prompt this week that idea just jumped right into my head.Sheri Bombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18220906981157426429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-203191163528847405.post-59538403876892124092011-10-19T10:14:46.224+10:002011-10-19T10:14:46.224+10:00Very interesting take on the prompt.
