Comment on My First Pet by raspil

Dad was right.  I just wanted it because of reasons.  - eh?

He disappeared for a time and returned with something that almost disappeared in the palm of his hand.  It was the planet!

Repetition of disappeared.

I really rather like this. It's quite touching and very unlike your usual writing. It's always good to stretch (although most of us don't try to stretch across a galaxy).

I'd like a planet to follow me home!

the first line you mentioned -- it's just slang.  i see it at tumblr a lot.. where the "reasons" are either unnamed, unable to put into words, or based on selfishness.

thanks for the second set of eyes.  glad you liked it.

Fair enough. It is a young planet.
