an afternoon of bullets and beer

Actually, I read what you wrote several times because you didn't express yourself very concisely. As a result, I made a more or less generalized observation based on the comments of both you and grim. But again, just to be clear, whether or not an anecdote is fictional or not shouldn't be a consideration of whether or not it belongs in this forum. Storytelling is a creative art correct? I believe you said as much.

Yeah, toolz has that affect on people.

 

That's is not what I read in your other post nor what I believe what you were insinuating. But, regardless, it doesn't matter.

The important item is that everyone, no matter who or what, reads what they want to read. Creative thinking and writing is within thyself. I do think that writing is the premier artistic form of creativity as it knows no bounds. But even with that art, their are limits. The story or "event" in this post would simply confuse some as it's origin is confusing. But, if the intention of the story is fictional, they are great opportunities for tremendous enhancements.

 

The post begins like this...

Atrocious grammar aside (), I don't see how anyone could confuse it as anything other than a personal anecdote.

No argument there. I think it has great potential as longer short story, or even as an excellent way to introduce a character in a novel. Personally I think it's a compelling anecdote.
