"SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP" Hello there, Newbie! Welcome to WDC. This is a Simply positive Review! I'm dropping by with another review of an item in your portfolio that I saw on the Read A Newbie, page. This was quite a display of imagination the dad had in this story. I liked reading along with his sad note being written whilst the man struggled amid terrible conditions aboard a ship. He was a prisoner there, and was treated cruelly. Although he managed somehow to have a cookie on his food tray and somehow grab a bottle of wine. I bet that made his stay a little more bearable. Observations: "Oh, Maggie, the barbaric conditions I endure on this ship are too much to bear...!" I suggest getting rid of the ellipses and and ending the sentence at bear. Also, There is an overuse of exclamation points in such a small piece. Not necessary, the reader understands the dire situation and feels the guy's urgency to get a message to his loved one. Otherwise, this was a humorous flash fiction that was also entertaining. Humorous ending. I had to change the content rating on this item due to the reference to an alcoholic beverage. (wine) Well done! Until next time--write on! Regards, WebWitch My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
