Jed and Cletus
A Tips 'R Us prompt entry7 total reviews
Comment from Pam Lonsdale
What a poignant tale of two men coming to grips with such a huge shift in both of their lives. Men don't cry, but here are two that have been together pretty much since birth and clearly love each other, although they would never admit it. Both stubborn as hell and stuck in their ways. Except that Jed is at least moving on to see what else life has to offer.
And the rest of the story I will catch in reruns:-)
Very well told, Wayne. A great story of friendship.

I don't know what the challenge was but you did a great job with the characters. I could just hear Jed. You also addressed those questions we would have asked the Clampetts about better ways to use their money. But what I liked most is how to deal with the natural human response between friends when one is showered with unprecedented benefits and the other is not.

Very American dialogue - I had to concentrate to understand the hilbilly style! What is a "quitclaim deed"? Haven't heard that expression. You described their relationship very well - very close, but no room for sentiment, can't verbalise their feelings too well - very insightful. Well done.

A quitclaim merely states that you relinquish any claim to the property. You can sign such a thing and sell property that you do not even own. It has very little value in court, but if no one contests it ...
Thank you for the very nice review.

Pride is an awful thing, and is actually based sometimes on a root of bitterness, at some stage in one's life we're going to have to swallow it, because if we don't, it will swallow us, while we're young and fit, we can afford the consequences, beautifully written, blessings Roy

Your story is so well crafted, drawing us into their world and their deep feelings about how they wish to live their lives. You succeed at giving the reader a real sense of time and place, and the character of these two friends. Well done!

Some people say that money is the root of all evil, sometimes even between good friends. I liked the dialogue between two good friends. You did a good job expressing their feelings in the nonverbals. I do not see any room for improvement. Have a blessed day.

I don't know what the prompt was, but you wrote a great story here. It was actually moving, which I wouldn't have expected. Thanks for sharing, and best wishes to you.
