Mike, These are so well-written. It was as if one was reading through a person's life in just six sentences each but with the weight of a bio within those sentences. You write with such a unique voice. The line: "He never sought that which found him so readily." is such pure poetry, so rich with meaning and so well-said. Excellent work.
Very well done, Michael, and what a novel idea to tell a story in six sixes. It works so well. You do write with conviction and authority, which this brief form allows you. You get straight to the point and make it, no hesitating. Bravo to you, I loved it.
Michael, I would love to say which story here is my favourite but I can't seperate them. A wonderful series of tales, exploring the life of one man who DID make a difference. Great job.
Michael, This really resonated with me and I thought it was beautiful. I am a cancer researcher and I understand the passion and heights that can be reached in break-throughs. Toby

Michael, these sixes were such wonderfully written glimpses into a life. You told so much about this person in just 36 sentences. Brilliant.
That's quite a life in six sixes Michael! Nice job!
Lovely. Just had a quick glance but will look with interest later.
You delved deep into this person's life. Nicely done.

Poetry Man! Lovely, lyrical. This links perfectly to your blog. Looking very pro line display and content here, Mike
Kudos.
A nice way to spend time....reading these 36 sentences.
Very nice, Michael.
Every time I read one I thought that it'd be my favorite and then you had written another...
"Success was his Icarus." - October was my favorite.
These are all so moving and very well written. Congratulations on your published 6 x 6.
