down in me

so the other day on ‘other’ i wrote this thing about mysterious daniel spinks, and his beautiful bear parade e-book, small pale humans, and it had a yum response from a few glowing internet humans and i wanted to gather it here because i don’t know why, just to remind myself that things can make ripples and stories can be eaten and strangers can be in love and when i want to die again i’ll try to remember that.

gene morgan: Three years ago I picked him up at his home and we went to a party. He’s a very nice person.

I’m pretty sure he’s been working on a book, I heard, somewhere. At least, I’ll be disappointed if he isn’t.

ryan call: ani, thanks for this. ive not thought of spinks in a while, but i like sph a lot. i think it is my favorite bearparade book. im going to reread it now.

kevin: I had a similar experience to both you and Crispin with this story. It is probably one of the top 2 most memorable stories from Bear Parade. It’s also one of the first few stories I had ever read on-line. Strangely, I always ask myself “Does Daniel Spinks have a wife?” every time I read it. For whatever reason I feel that knowing the answer to that question change how I read the story.

@jensenwilder Good morning - I’m reading http://bit.ly/cTeiDk after getting a heads up from @ani_smith’s article on otherother.org
