I am wondering whether to put up a short story or piece of prose (not sure what you'd technically call it) that I wrote 10 years ago in the Andes. I was really just playing (or so I thought) at the time. I was writing a few short stories, along with my boyfriend at the time, just to experiment with writing really. This one I am thinking of putting up is kind of in 3 short parts. The reason I think it might be interesting is that it brings up quite a lot of issues that are discussed here on this site, yet when I was writing the story I was not aware that these issues were much a part of my consciousness or subconsciousnes - does that make any sense?! I was just making up a story as far as I was aware at the time. Also curious is that I used some words that I had no knowledge of the meaning(s) of, I am guessing that I must have heard them somewhere before but to my awareness at the time I only picked the words either because I liked the sound of them or they somehow sounded appropriate to the story. Since, I have obviously found out more about those words and find it, well, a bit strange.
I hesitate to put it up because I am a complete newbie to this site and don't want to put up utter rubbish and waste peoples' time and energy, but at the same time I wonder if it might be interesting to look at, almost like a dream, for its meaning or perhaps delusions in it?
I'd be grateful for advice. If I hear nothing, I won't put it up. If you want me to put it up, I will but first I have to type it up as it's only written on paper at the moment.
