Hello Nixie This is a Simply positive Review! I'm also reviewing this item as a judge for the Bard's Hall. I adored the romantic flavor of your story. You chose appropriate ways to use the prompt words that were beyond the usual object definition. I like that. Example: Using ice cream rather than an actual "baseball." " ...a baseball blob of ice cream oozing the plate." I could picture the size of the ice cream on top of the pie, I could see it dribbling down from the melting by the heat of the pie. Very eye on the pie appealing! Great way to dispose of the "baseball" prompt word. I also liked your use of the word Chevrolet, being her stage name for her father's car sales business. Sweet! Observation "Chandra startled." Chandra was startled OR He startled Chandra. I couldn't help but think that the waitress scorned might adulterate their food in some way, since she seemed upset over hers and Devon's breakup. I don't think if I were Devon or Chandra for that matter once she knew they had a history, would want to take a chance eating there. My mind was picturing her spitting in the ice cream before serving it. Perhaps that's just my own deviant mind, though. I enjoyed the serenity of this hero, he was able to make Chandra feel relaxed, more human and less of a bottom-line commodity of her father's business. Well done, especially since it made it in under the dealine by about two hours. Thanks for entering the contest -- and good luck! Until next time--write on!
