The "Amazonian Umbrella Bird" is an interesting short write about a "mythical creature" that an explorer want to capture through his camera. It followed, however, that he lost his life when he became "debilitated by mosquitoes, leeches and exhaustion" as the creature watched him... Why do people get into such a degree of desire and yet they are unable to be successful? Is there some sort of madness in their minds?

"It's not real"is a sad tale of "Cassie" as she prepares for her birthday party, whose love of the use of "drugs" may have contributed to the death of her parents. Yet, she did not hesitate to partake more of the drugs during the party. In her pathetic state of a "dying brain", did she dream it when she lost her head when a "steel scythed through her slim neck"?

As I reviewed this work, I wondered if a "drug user" would continue the "habit" or would she/he stop using drugs?

Review of Curve in the Road

What a fun way to buy a car... Gee, the idea of giving lifts to any Tom, Dick and Harry became a generous act of someone whose heart belongs in the right place...

To the writer of the "Curve in the Road", it was indeed an interesting read. I thought that short pieces of work, like this piece, should be welcomed because it would surely give us more ideas that is fun and interesting...

Review of The legends  
Review by elephantsealer
In affiliation with SENIOR CENTER GROUP  
Rated: E | (3.5)
"The legends" is a sad piece of work: about someone who had to go "into the lonely mist" because of a legend. It is short but within its shortness there was someone who knows and accepts the truth of the "legend for an eternity". What made this work "utterly lonely" was the last passazge, "I strode away, into the lonely mist.", bringing to the reader/reviewer the strong sense of an "aloneness",its certainty of feeling... It is with hope that the author will continue to write and display her/his works in WDC...

Is there a chance at the present time for a boy with golden cleats play soccer? AS per the piece of writing, "The Enchanted Soccer Cleats", Mason, who is not a soccer player, became the best soccer player ever as he grew older, and as he continued to be the best among all soccer players. Just because of the golden soccer cleats.

As per the story, the cleats turned golden because two older players took a pair of old cleats that Mason was given. The two older players took Mason's old cleats, did some sort of magic to them, and asked their friend, Charlie, to give the cleats, that are now golden and new, back to Mason; and told Chairlie to tall Mason to go ahead and play soccer. And Mason played soccer and became the sensation of soccer for many years.

My question is: how can two old players become the "golden cleats" that Mason was given, and that gave him courage and success to become the greatest soccer player, even outplaying his own brother...

This is a great tale of encouragement to boys who think they are not soccer players at all...And maybe we shall read more of the author's works in the pages of Writing.Com....

Review of Paper, Lady?  
Review by elephantsealer

Rated: ASR | (3.5)
The shame and embarrassment of being "identified" as a criminal did interest me; so I reviewed "Paper, Lady?". My thoughts are: there must be a point at which policemen should determine first whether or not the person they were believed to be the "suspected" child taker. This tale shows how mistaken the policemen were; however, the shame and embarrassment that Clair Jarvis felt will never erase the public's knowledge of the event; and therefore the shame that fell on Claire is most damaging to her person...

Review of Pillow Fight  
Review by elephantsealer

Rated: E | (3.5)
I salute the writer of the "Pillow Fight"; short and to the point. The beginning of the story tells of a pillow being fluffed, rolled and pushed into a shape while in the same room another person was reading a book and started to get bothered by the person shaping a pillow so she can lay on it comfortably. And then a rather short discussion about the author of the book, which annoyed the book reader. In a sense, the pillow that was thrown at the pillow shaper was just the right answer to the question...

The mystery of two men in relation to one person untying a handkerchief is rather obvious. How, for example, would one person know there are two different men, who asked to help untie a handkerchief, while the person is so involved in untying the handkerchief, without even raising eyes to find out who was either standing or talking behind; and when it was done, how it became impossible for the person to even read and understand what was written on the handkerchief...Quite a mystery, yes??????

Review of Days of Yore  
Review by elephantsealer
In affiliation with SENIOR CENTER GROUP  
Rated: 13+ | N/A (Review only item.)
Reviewing "Days of Yore" was interesting because it recalls the fun days when one was young and family-oriented. Remembering about childhood days and the many activities of youth becomes a lovely connection, a feeling of having lived somewhere before, that was filled with the love of families. This connection becomes a memory that strenghtens the love between family members as they grow into adulthood. An interesting concept...

Review of legacy  
Review by elephantsealer
In affiliation with SENIOR CENTER GROUP  
Rated: 13+ | (3.5)
"legacy" is a short tale of a father, whose memory was evoked by a tree that was obviously planted by the father before his death. The two individuals were a husband and wife, whose memory of the father was obviously not good nor loving at all. The fact that the husband began to cut the tree down with "the axe his father had been so proud of" tells of the intense hatred in the son's heart...

Do we hate that much as human beings? Or do we find forgiveness the better way to remember someone who was not loved at all? I wonder...

Writing is an interesting way to tell a story, and tell it in such a way that it is clear to the reader. The tale of "The Moonlight Pact" sets out to tell of a pact between two individuals, "Unconditionally", which apparently was about "Love"... Interesting, indeed...

My suggestion about "Ask Me No Question...I'll Tell You No Lies": I would still give him the punishment he deserves: a hug and a kiss, and a strong warning to tell the truth next time....
How's that???????

"Twelve Miles from the Fire" tells of a singing Nightingale, and the strong belief of the characters in this tale that the fire would eventually get stronger but would head away to a different direction. The characters were quite certain that Nightingale Clearing would not burn down! Such a strong belief in a Nightingale, indeed...

The story of "The Pie Thieves" tells of the difference between a Grandma's way of discipline as against her daughter's/son-in-law's ways. Maybe in this tale, Grandma's way is much more effective than the daughter's/son-in-law's ways. In real life, we see the differences between the old way as opposed to the modern way. However, I would always choose the old, practiced way of discipline... As the author of this story said, "Drastic times call for drastic measures."

"Devil of the Ocean" tells of the unfortunate victims of a storm in the ocean: Jake, his wife, Kim, and the devastating fact of a child in the boat that was tossed, turned and possibly slammed somewhere as the storm continued its grip of the ocean... It is an unfortunate sail; and probably a lesson to those who love to sail...

Review of Who am I?  
Review by elephantsealer
In affiliation with SENIOR CENTER GROUP  
Rated: E | (3.5)
The question of "Who am I" is a question that, I believe, cannot be answered by any one or by the person asking the question. We ask how did we come to be? And why would I consider myself unique? We can ask all these questions as much as we want to. Were we created by a god? Or did we become human because of "magic"? What was the purpose of the Bible's story of Adam and Eve? How about the story that we became because god created us through Adam's rib? How did I become human?

Questions. And more questions. And if we look at it some more, there is no answer, no definite and reliable reply to the questions; the many questions that develop when we think more of our humanity. So, maybe we should just not think of who, why, when, where, and how did we become a human? Maybe we should carry on being human; remembering the goodness and the beauty of our humanity. Indulging in questions of our humanity only lead to many, many more questions - that cannot and probably will never be answered...

So, there we are... welcome to my world, human...

In response to "Hurricane Camilla strikes again", I would like to note that both Prince Harry and Meghan have become ordinary, stupid, ridiculous; they have spoken through the media, whom they both disliked so much and hate; that they are both showing how stupid they have become. They have become just plain, ordinary citizens, who complain too much, talk too much and gramble too much of what they are and how they are doing. They have lost the ability to be prudent, to be really and truly royal. They are mere "mouths" that never stop talking, never learning to behave in a royal manner, and most of all, just "splashing all their negativity all over because they have actually been "thrown" out because they want to spread the fact that they are actually worse than Camilla, Prince William and Kate.

The Queen, herself, did not actually like the way these two, Harry and Meghan, for talking too much, for showing how little they think of themselves, for bragging like the "dirt" they are. They never requested the Queen's advice to leave their royal place; and they have the nerve to carry on talking to the media; the media they hate so very, very much....

This is a bit too much really because the media is just enjoying all this stupidity; because now they are selling copies of their newspapers...

Let us now take sides in regard to all these stupidity that Harry keeps bringing up. This is exactly what the Queen did not want to happen. Rumors and guesses that both Harry and Meghan are bringing out become the fact that they are hurting too much for disregarding the Queen's advice

It is really difficult to be fair when it comes to mumbling voices that talk, talk, talk and talk some more. One can see how much they are hurting; and they have to talk back because that is the only way they can try and get satisfaction for their stupidity...

All good wishes,

Review of Sophie's Father

After my review of "Sophie's Father", I felt, like the mother, that things are now complete. For many years, the mother held a hope in her heart, not knowing that some where there was a person, who was as hopeful.

This is a pleasant story and written with an ending that restored the hopes of two people; even as each one did not know how the story was going to end... It is much a joy to see the love of both mother and Dad as well as the joy in the heart of the daughter...

"Oct 21 Setting Description" tells of Sasza, "to his family and friends", of his love to go camping. It is a tale of writer's love of "a sense of history"; of "the verdant areas calmed him": and further of the "wind rustling through the leaves" that soothed him; and more interesting is his reason to move "quickly to an open space" when he reasoned that if "he didn't write anything new" that it was all right because he was in a "space close to the women", who were in "bikini-clad". The things writers say when they do not wish to write...

I must say, Sue, you do write well. I believe I mentioned to you once to try and publish your works. You know, you can publish a whole book, using all the short stories you do so well. Your work, "Back When We Were Beautiful" is another piece that tells a simple tale of a person, whose memories comes rushing back at the wedding of a granddaughter. It is easy to read and understand; and reminds me of the many memories that sometimes fill my head from one day to another... Do you have memories, too???????

All good wishes,

"Batteries not included" is a tale of two Irish brothers; one was a comedian, who died after suffering from an illness. The story goes on to say that the dying brother wanted what he calls a "last laugh", which was supposed to be the recorded voice of the dying man. He requested his brother to put batteries in the recorder, and play it, "Let me out! It's dark in here. Help! Help!" at the time he was buried. It did scare a lot of the people attending the burial; however, the brother said it was a joke his brother wanted to play. A few weeks after the burial, the brother discovered there was no batteries in the recorder. At this point of the story, we, the readers, are meant to believe that the dying man himself screamed out the words, and not the recorder.

In my review of the tale, I found it rather interesting because I, for one, have very little knowledge of the Irish practice of burial. However, reviewing this tale did bring out the point that maybe the dying man himself did the screaming... Possible you would say? Could be...

However, whatever is written, one can only believe or disbelieve whose voice did ring out at the point when the man's body was lowered into the ground...

Review of Dad’s cure  
Review by elephantsealer
In affiliation with SENIOR CENTER GROUP  
Rated: E | (3.5)
"Dad's Cure" tells of a Dad who believes in "his home made remedies". We read of people like "Dad" and in some ways we come to believe in what he advocates because his "remedies" are meant to cure because those cures have been tested and tested by other people; and they did work for others who used his "remedies". However, when this "Dad" did injure himself through a fall, he did request his wife to "bring in a drop of my home brew", which most probably helped him much more to recover from his "multiple broken bones".

We begin to understand this Dad's way of thinking; and if we must prove that he is right, then it probably may take many years before we can disprove his way of thinking. The flow of this tale does lead us to understand his belief in his "home made remedies".

"Humphrey" is a short tale of a dog, who gives its human companion the joy of companionship just by being there with its human... It is a tale that creates in readers a feeling of goodness not only toward animals but also toward other humans...

Hi, Sue, have we gone bunkers writing about toilets, have we? It is a funny advertisement, indeed and probably a smart way to show how well you are able to write about an advertisement, "Super Toilet". I am sold, do put one away for me; won't take me long to dash...
