Hi Mastiff ,

I have the pleasure of reviewing your short story "The Flip"  as it falls before mine in the I Write in 2019 forum. I see you missed a week... no hard to do as I doubled up last week and have to fix it before the week ended. I think I am on track now... or so I hope.

Overall, your piece was intriguing. Definielty somehting different. The Title works well and the story's pace is well executed.

The main character finds himself 'flipped' into the bodies of younger people in the hopes of staying alive longer... given he has the money to do it.
At one point he is 'flipped' into someone with cancer and only a month to live. He has his manservant make another transfer for him... and this is where I got lost. I don't think this is the story confusing me, I think it is me getting lost as this is not a genre I would normally encounter. I think Clive, his manservant and Doc flip him and thin he has gone into a dying person, but in actuality he has shifted into a robot - no ore flips needed. Clive and the Doc expect to fool the main character, but in fact they are the ones fooled.

As I said, it is an intriguing story and it may be an excellent entry for this particular Twisted' contest. I wish you luck in the contest and look forward to reading more from you in the future.

Thanks for sharing. Happy Writing.
