    I'm a get to the point guy myself....like some dude gets slapped so he cuts the other dude's hand off. Good story, I like it. Heh heh. Just needs some embellishments and plot twists. This is why I'm not a writer.
    If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

    Yeah, I'm not QUITE that . . . minimalist. I do try to describe things, try to use the language to evoke the sense I am going for. Delve into the thoughts of the character, maybe have a flashback to a pertinent event, etc. I am not good at expanding my work in breadth and depth in the manner necessary to make a novel. Hence being a short-story writer. I do very much enjoy writing up evocative little blurbs for locations, people, and themes in my settings, though.
