"Non-Humans R Us Welcome Letter" tells of a group of people who have decided to form a group with the intention of reading about and looking at pictures of non-humans as well discussion sessions that should not get to the point of anger. The intention is great and the rules are as well easy to follow; however, if any member is found to use the group as a "battleground", then the ultimate end is getting thrown out of the group. It is an interesting idea, of course, because there are many who are prone to anger and hate when their opinions become the reason for anger and hatred...
"Wildling Girl" is a little tale that tells us of someone who is "...slowly slipping away" from the memory of someone who cares... Quite an interesting tale...
I agree with the writer of "Honor": in order to really honor a soldier, a sailor, an airman or a guard or for that matter, anyone who takes up a "sacred pact" to care for others, is to "act by taking care of those who guard us." It is indeed a "sacred pact" for each and every one of us to do as we memorialize the many who died...To Sacred Moon, thanks for your words...
The story behind "The Non-existent Family" reveals a truth that members of a family refuse to admit... One sister's experience of a father who abused her sexually was a revelation that made each family realize the abuse they each experienced in the hands of a father... It is indeed a sad tale, revealing, most probably, that each member of the family may have suffered in the hands of a devil of a father... Interesting tale...
I would like to add my own praise of "King Charles The Third", who was recently declared the new King in England as his mother, Queen Elizabeth 11, passed away at the age of 96. May, King Charles The Third, follow and be guided by his mother's genuine love for all peoples in the world.
"Evie" is an interesting tale of a cat: how she was first found in a parking garage with injuries; how the cat's founders cared for it; and finally how the kitten was finally found a home with children who love her.
In fact, I would say this cat story confirms to us the love and care two humans gave to an animal. This reminds me how quite a number of people in my neighborhood who have pets, care for them, and feed them as part of their daily lives. This story indeed tells us that humans and animals do exist for each other...
"A Caregiver Needs Help" is a sad tale of someone's loved one suffering from the dreaded disease, 'Alzheimer'. If only there is a way to stop Alzheimer from attacking the brain of a human, I would definitely recommend it, especially to people whose loved ones have succumbed to the disease. It is such a heart-breaking feeling to see/experience one's loved one in such a situation, that sometimes we wonder why there is such a disease...Our world has found many ways to rid us of some dieseases; and yet, Alzheimer continues to rip the minds of elderly people...
Take heart, author, because maybe one day a super-duper minded individual will stand among us and hail Alzheimer is completely GONE, CURED WITH SOMETHING LIKE AN ORANGE... Do you believe that day will come?????
As I reviewed "Glass Butterflys", I realized that the "Prologue" is probably the beginning of a larger story that the writer plans to extend. It is a good beginning, interesting, and a tale that may be extended into a novel, maybe????? My only question is: should "Butterflys" be spelled "Butterflies"???
I definitely agree with the writer of "A License to Thrill"... Writers are creators and creators are writers who have found a responsibility to create pieces of work that give meaning to life...
The author of "Juniper Tree 1" brings to the reviewer a sense of "infinite peace"; a "satisfying sense of completeness and delight", even in the midst of terror... I find this piece of work a joy to read; a work of art that shows feelings and emotions that one can possess...
To the writer, let us see/read/review more of your work...
"Blank" by Ghostie reminded me so much when lots and lots and lots of ideas and thoughts ran endlessly through my brain; ignored them; or rather told myself I shall write them "tomorrow". However, my "tomorrow" never came.
As writers, we tend to tell ourselves to remember what those ideas and thoughts are without writing them down. Then when tomorrow does come, we realize there is such a thing called "flashes of thoughts and ideas" that tend to leave us completely "blank" as well as the realization of how fickle our memory has become...
To the author, your story may remind other writers of their "tomorrows"...
Another interesting read was "Questions from Charlie". We realize there are ideas and thoughts that spring out of our everyday life; and we read and be amazed at how some writers do really make it more clear how to write... Kudos to the writer of this piece!!!!
AS I reviewed the story, "The Best Gift", I was awed at how the death of one human becomes the life of another. I felt the agony of a man who lost a wife; however, the beauty of the tale becomes known when the man who lost his wife realizes that his loss became the very reason for the happiness that made his life complete. It is a good story, and I would like to congratulate the writer for his piece of work; and that I hope he will continue to grace Writing.Com with more lovely and pleasing works...
The statement in "Carving" tells us of "life" as we look at it in comparison with "wood"; that living is a matter of understanding the "soft" and "hard" side of living; that life is not all "easy" but msy also turn out to be "difficult". Life is indeed as "easy" as you can make it or as "hard" as the bark of a tree... Kudos to the writer for showing us this comparison...
Congratulations to the writer of "How I became an English learner". She/he has learned the use of the English language!!! Hurrah!!! We need writers who will write and share with all writers in the world how satisfying it is to share... Let's hope the writer will continue to write more, not only about English but also about all sorts of ideas and thoughts...
This "Short" flash is not only entertaining but also an eye opener. We try to sort of hide a thing here and there, and there is always someone who has either a "good eye" or just the "one person or thing" that "sees and hears" things...
Let's hope the writer continues to write more that we, as readers/reviewers, would enjoy...
To the writer of "Stand Aside", thank you for such lovely assurances for those of us who are over-active, over-anxious, over-misguided... We need words that make us stop, think, realize that we are in need of a solution to our emotional vulnerabilities... and thanks to this writer for reminding us that we are not "alone"...
To the writer, thank you for such encouragement...
"A little fairy" tells us of the thoughts expressed by a poetry writer. As a reviewer, I followed the line of thoughts, and surely, I found it interesting... Maybe we shall read more of this writer's thoughts...?
This flash, "Destiny", is a fine read because it shows a good relationship between father and son. When we look at this generation, we see many sons and daughters who want to be independent. They crave to want to do what they want; and since they know what they are doing, it is therefore a parent's duty is go along with what the children want...
A good read, Jacky; do let us read more of what you are writing...
Isn't it fun to have children? This is the idea I got reviewing, "What's Mine Is Mine". Parents do provide for their children, and take pride in treating them equally; and yet as portrayed in this little tale, the decision of children to do what they want to do... One just have to laugh... It was good of the writer to show us how parents made things possible for their children; and how surprising it was to realize their children do have other ideas...
Is it wrong for a father to want to see his son gain weight? Absolutely, not. However... no I think I would leave it to the father to think that the encouragement he gave his son to eat more, and thereby, gain weight, is a good thing. I wonder if a father would stop for a tiny moment and realize that becoming "overweight" may mean a few problems for the son?????
Thanks to the writer of "How To Embrace Your House Ghost", I am now assured I can "embrace" my house ghost. Yes, I, too, have a house ghost...although mine just comes and goes, and vanishes the moment I look at (should I say her or him)??? I do believe I have not heard bells ringing as yet...
I found this poem, "Fuel for the Fire" intriguing... It is a human story, a human tragedy, a human way to "softly murmured", "Some more fuel for the fire..." Was there forgiveness after all????
Reading "Living with RA" made me feel uneasy because this tale tells of a writer who seems to enjoy the "pains" of RA, which also gave the author the "strength" to write... I think it is wonderful when writers find a way to express their writing so that others would realize, too, that there is a way to write inspite of bodily pain... I salute this writer... may she/he continue to show readers/reviewers the way to "good write"...
