I loved your impulsive dog analogy!
I just googled -what compels people to shout hurtful things, when my son told me someone shouted fag at him. So sad, that there are so many disturbed people out there who feel a need to share their anger and hate with the world, without stopping to think how it can ruin someone's day. Or, maybe, that's the power they are looking for. Perhaps they feel powerless in their own lives. Either way, I love your current attitude towards it -just remember to stay safe. Better to have more people like you around to send positive messages into the universe.

Thank you, that's the nicest comment I've received about any of my pieces. I hope your son doesn't take it to heart. If I've learned anything, it's that people yell things because they're thoughtless and anonymous, and they yell the same limited vocabulary at everybody.

Thank you for your insight. The next time I encounter a PWYFC, I will be very tempted to become a Person Who Chases Cars while yelling questions for science.

L.S. Burton

Farewell, third person bio.

Lee Burton doesn't have cats or kids, but he does have a lot of books, a couple of mugs he thinks are really fantastic, and a good pair of shoes which haven't fallen apart yet despite his best efforts to murder them with kilometers.

Burton has written almost six books. Almost six as some are still scantily clad in their respective drawers. Each of them had their own goals and were written differently, and he is very fond of them all -- except perhaps for his first attempt at a novel, which remains a travesty. That one he keeps locked in a dark basement and feeds it fish heads.

In 2011, Burton won the Percy Janes Award for Best Unpublished First Novel in the Newfoundland and Labrador Arts and Letters Competition for his novel Raw Flesh in the Rising.

And just recently, in the fall of 2013, Burton published his first science-fiction novel, THIS LAND, about which he boasts constantly.
