The phrase is really ambiguous. 'Sucked' is a very casual and somewhat negative term. It could imply that the old man had a negative reaction to your story. Maybe he criticized it harshly, so it feels like he 'sucked' the life or quality out of your story.
Sure. Let's say you were at a family gathering and you were excited to share a story about your recent adventure. An old man in the family, who is known for being grumpy and negative, constantly interrupted you, made sarcastic remarks, and changed the topic. In this case, it would feel like he 'sucked' your story.
In most cases, it can be okay as long as it serves a purpose in the story. Maybe the character is frustrated or exasperated and this action is a way to show their emotion. But if it's just there without any real significance, it might be better to leave it out.
Well, it depends. If it fits the character or scene and helps convey the intended emotion or action, then it could work. But make sure it doesn't seem out of place or overly odd for the style of your novel.
No, it is completely inappropriate. Such a story involves vulgar and inappropriate sexual content that goes against moral and ethical norms in most social settings.
The song 'My Old Man' by Zac Brown is a heartfelt tribute. It's about his relationship with his father. It likely includes memories, lessons learned from his dad, and the impact his father had on his life.
His Christmas story started when we were all gathered around the dinner table on Christmas Eve. He looked around at all of us and said he wanted to share some memories from his past Christmases. He then went on to tell about the first time he helped his mother bake Christmas cookies.
In 'the old man at the bridge story', the old man is an ordinary person whose life has been upended by war. He seems to be a bit forlorn and lost. He has his own little world back home with his animals, but now that world has been destroyed by the war. He is at the bridge, a sort of liminal space between the past and an uncertain future. He represents the countless individuals who are displaced and left in a state of confusion and despair during times of war.
