Review of Not To Worry  
Review by elephantsealer
In affiliation with SENIOR CENTER GROUP  
Rated: 18+ | (3.5)
"Not To Worry" tells us about "Ana" who rang "Lorna" because she worries about "Donny" who has not come home as yet. Although "Lorna" tried not to worry, even as she went about in the house, it became clear that "Ana's" worry affected Lorna as well.

A review of this short tale reminded me how easy it is to get terribly upset when a member of a family does not not come home; that all one needs to do actually is trust each other...

To the surprise of the birthday girl in the "Birthday Surprize", we learn about a child who is the daughter of the celebrant. It was a terrible way for anyone to present a surprise; it was cruel, selfish and mean for any one to do. Obviously, in this piece of work, we are given the chance to understand the whole meaning of this cruelty of one person to another...

Hurrah for the writer, for showing the meaning of writing; and that is, the hatred that lies underneath the mother-in-law's presentation of a gift to the celebrant...

Review of Jack's Birthday

The joy and hapopiness of Jack as he celebrates his birthday on Halloween is reflected on the words of this piece of work, "Jack's Birthday". It is a happy write, and a writer's work that reflects the joy and happiness of the boy whose birthday happens to be the same day as Halloween!!!!

What an inspiration...

The frustration of a character in the piece of work, "Passing on the Mantle of Shame", is quite evident as it shows clearly at the end that said: ".....we're done carrying it."

I reviewed the work because I realize that as writers we bring our thoughts and ideas into our work; and sometimes our work (as this piece of writing has done) may or would give other writers ideas and thoughts of their own that can be written in order to continue to give inspiration to other writers...

Thank you to the writer for this work...

Review of Altered Reality  
Review by elephantsealer
In affiliation with SENIOR CENTER GROUP  
Rated: E | (3.5)
The flash, "Altered Reality", is a short tale of a character who puzzled about a box; and when it was unwrapped, it emitted green light that sweeps the character "away into another dimension"... The character appears to have accepted being a "Quarantined Queen of everything."

I have a question though. Part of the third paragraph that starts with "I travel on the green light" ... there is this piece that puzzled me: "I can breathe is my thought as a red sun ..."

Tell me more, please...

Review of Get Lost

"Get Lost" tells of the many ways the character in this piece of writing has learned and is learning how to become as perfect as the teachings of his "Lord" as well as the faith he experiences, which he considers "fine and beautiful gift"... It is an interesting point to consider for writers...

"How I Got My Gift for Public Speaking" represents the many ways a person learns to be "perfect" in what she/he wants to be and to do... It is indeed a good example how writers learn to perfect their writing: keep learning, read a lot, do more writing, and many, many more interesting ideas that would hone someone to be good (or maybe PERFECT) in what she/he wants to do...An interesting tale indeed; and an example how to do good/well...

I believe I understand fully how the character in "Putting Your Life on the Line" became terribly "outraged"... it is one of the many questions (in life) that need an answer, of which, I am unable to answer fully myself... however, it is indeed a valid question that needs an answer...

Review of Dark Horse  
Review by elephantsealer
In affiliation with SENIOR CENTER GROUP  
Rated: 13+ | (4.0)
"Dark Horse" is presented as a loss of one's love/lover as well as a realization that somewhere along the way there is a magical apparition between two people whose love for and each other brings about a "black horse"... In our world of reality, do we actually come face to face with one apparition that connects us to each other?????? Especially after losing someone????

Good for the writer to come up with a magical "black horse"... in response to the question: "How could something so beautiful take away the one I love?" I believe it is may be possible...

Review of My Heart's Desire  
Review by elephantsealer

Rated: 13+ | (4.0)
Why are we quick to judge others? Because that seems what "My Heart's Desire" implies; a judgment of people who have focused their hearts and minds upon penguins. We do take it for granted that we know what we want to do. However, we forget that we as humans have many, many differences among and between us... and in order to keep away from creating a "war-like atmosphere", that we should learn to let others do whatever they want to believe in...

This was a fun review...

Review of A Fear of Needles  
Review by elephantsealer

Rated: E | (4.0)
This short episode, "A Fear of Needles", of a mother consoling her son to be "brave and strong", shows us the patience of a mother as well as the son's realization that the prick of the needle was a mere "shudder". This short tale shows us the many ways a mother guides her son to believe and accept that which is part and parcel of life...

Through this piece of writing, "Late One Night edit", the writer tells of "Astrid" who beds down early, "wake up after a few hours to find solace in the darkest part of the night." It seems Astrid "needed to think or to relax" in the stillness of the night; that "not even her betrothed Hiccup was aware" of these nightly times spent alone... Why and what is the idea behind keeping secret one's wish to be alone???

"The Canady Farm WC: 297" is a tale of selfishness and disrsegard for a fellow human being. Marriage, I was made to understand, is a contract between two individuals to work together, to make each other happy, and most of all, to be considerate with each other. The writer, however, has proven that marriage is not all that all... I salute the writer for bringing about the meaning of marriage through this tale...

The writer of "A day at the Office" shared this short tale about the "pleasure of working" in an office; and the good relationship among, and between, the employees with each other. It is another example of an interesting story that needed to be written...

Review of The First Task  
Review by elephantsealer

Rated: ASR | (4.0)
"The First Task" relates about a boy's task to walk his sister to school. For Caleb, it probably meant he was going to get a lot of kidding from the other boys in school, which was how he actually felt when he thought: "Everything seemed so much more ominous about this Tuesday morning when he had to start it off by walking his sister to school"... Why do boys get terribly upset when they walk their little sisters to school???? Just reminded me how my brother felt... What a fun little story...

"Old Man Iverson WC: 296" is a light tale about a young boy, who broke a neighbor's window, and was punished to work at the neighbor's house for a week, to pay for the repair of the window. At the end of the story, the boy seemed to have enjoyed the work when he said: "I did ten push-ups!!"

An inspiring story, indeed. Here's hoping the writer will let us read more of his works...

Review of Who Was He?  
Review by elephantsealer
In affiliation with SENIOR CENTER GROUP  
Rated: E | (4.0)
"Who Was He?" is a good tale of a young boy who went out of his house, to explore... It is presented well, even to the point where the child is shown as very, very young when he says, "who carries me home I don't remember" as well as "but my memory is a bit hazy". However, somewhere along the way, the little child remembers (and here we may consider that the tale was written as an adult) seeing an apparition, which fortunately was also observed by the mother; which implies that the child wrote the incident as an adult...

I salute the writer for writing the story in such a way that a reader would realize that the tale was a memory from an adult... It was a good presentation, and I am inspired by it...

Review of 2nd place

Rated: E | (3.5)
Hey, there, Sincerely, me: your one-line "2nd place" got me to review it; and I can honestly let you know that it is interesting that you are able to write a single-lined tale that tells of a writer who realizes his/her limitations and accepts it. However, there is a beginning and when there is a beginning, there may also come an ending; and probably a second chance to write more than just a single-lined tale... Hope is always a next time, a tomorrow, a try again chance...

Review of Rim Road WC 297  
Review by elephantsealer

Rated: E | (4.0)
"Rim Road WC 297" reflects the many stories about old, hunted houses and old men. As children, we dare ourselves to be brave, not realizing, of course, that we are just as scared as when a black cat comes our way. However, there is a question in my mind as I reviewed this piece of work: do children love to read stories like these???? No matter, though; what is thrilling is that children do enjoy getting scared...

This piece of work, "Overtime", is a light tale of things that go wrong... It is also a good sample of how easy it is for humans to get into trouble; in this story between a couple... It is an inspiring piece of work that the writer presented in a light manner because in real life people are susceptible to making mistakes in their lives...

Wow, is this, "The Notebook", a terror tale in the night? Finding a notebook and from it words that horrified the finder. It horrified me, too, reading it... It is a good example of a short piece of work that brought out fear and horror and much interest to the reviewer...

"The Cabin at Night WC:291" tells of a husband's way of getting his wife to sell their cabin. It does tell of how a husband tries to convence his wife to do what he wants to do: sell their cabin. However, the idea turned wrong, and ...

It was a light tale of how things happen between wives and husbands; and the many ways they try to outdo each other... A credit to the writer...

Review of Wire Walker  
Review by elephantsealer

Rated: E | (4.0)
I enjoyed my review of the "Wire Walker" because it tells of a person who endeavors to do something dangerous as a wire walker; dreamed of wanting to be a performer; pursued it with effort and practice; and finally became a "highwire artist".

This actually is reminiscent of how writers start: dream, pursue the dream; practice, fail, practice, and finally enjoying the dream that became a reality...
