Review by Smallvillescott
Rated: E | (4.5)
Great short story, definitely a surprise ending. If any criticism is develop the aliens a little more as physical beings in such a way as to not give way to their identity. I was definitely surprised at the ending, and wish I could write that well! The short story has a lot of great characteristics of classic Rod Sterling material.

Review of The Tictoc Man  
Review by Smallvillescott
Rated: E | (4.0)
This is a good short story, the characters could use some development and the wording could be restructured for a more dramatic ending. Overall the plot line is amazing and can see potential after some polishing for this story to be even better! This story reminds me of the movie K-Pax in some aspects which this story reminds me of.

This is a cute short story, loved the used of various scenes to depict the overall plot line. Leaves a lot to the imagination, great use of dialogue for such a short piece of writing. Could use a little bit of editing to smooth out sentence structure. Keep up the good work!

Good story, like the tone and idea and the reality of characters. One thing I've noticed it the overuse of the word "I". This is a good story to begin to understand AI from a first person point of view and was an easy read. I enjoyed it, great work!

Wow this is a great short story, i enjoy the character development and the reference points used on location. A reader could actually feel like they are digging up the treasure or finding the city. The use of alot of references is nice. Keep up the good work, swr

Review of The Speck  
Review by Smallvillescott
Rated: ASR | (4.5)
This is a great short story, love the first person description of seeing the planet for the first time. The character seems to give us a glimpse of the commonality of finding a planet for their own personal uses. Great use of language and I liked the Predictors.

This is a great short story, it has helped me to learn dialogue better between two main characters and create two characters that reflect this. I love the surprise ending, for a flash fiction story it sets the scene very direct in my mind. Good story, swr

This is a great short story, has similar aspects as the 80's movie They Live. Advertising has a huge effect on the everyday population and can create a problem called media literacy. The ending of this story is amazing, mind control is always a fear for those with knowledge of what can happen. good story swr

This is an interesting story - a somewhat Edenistic approach to save the world from big industry destroying the environment. The use of character development for a short story is great, both sides seem to have way different personalities. Good job overall. swr

This piece of flash fiction is amazing, i liked the twist ending. For a short story including alot of common elements, space travel, deep sleep, exploring but it does a fantastic job of tying these into a short story. This is well written, good job. swr

This is a great introduction, it includes alot of elements of a futuristic society. This society seems to not have any issues and telepathy is commonplace. The phrase that most interests me is about technology causing and solving problems. good work swr

This is an amazing overview of the services this company has to offer. I would love to have a visual of the actual chip. This is a well written article that could potentially change how we live. Some people call this the beginning to the apocalypse, but I see this as the beginning of a revolution. Good review though. swr

The scenery is amazing in this poem, one suggestion would be better describe the scenes maybe an adjective here or there to liven up, otherwise this poem brings the sea and the cottage into my mind. My favorite lines involve carols on the radio, and wood smoke. Good poem

Review of The Siren's Plea  
Review by Smallvillescott
Rated: E | (4.5)
Very strong poem, love the use of many unique words. You know your way around a thesaurus, this poem brings up strong emotions of an ambulance we all see them on the roads and know the power of their colors, and alarms, this poem brings a different level of emotion than sight and sound.

Review of Space Marine  
Review by Smallvillescott
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
Good flash fiction, it incorporates alot of different sci fi aspects that are common. Even if they are common you have done an exceptional job incorporating them into the plot. It gives enough titles and ideas to let the reader develop it further in their own mind. Great story!

This is a through and well-written, as a media major in college the research on city dwellers seeing over 5000 marketing messages a day, this is true, there is hardly any point we are not swimming in media. This research has alot more implications and can be further researched.

This is an inspiring poem, love the colors first off. I have felt this way many times since i work at night, driving under the stars. This poem can be interpreted any number of ways and still correctly describe individuals. This is a great piece of work.

Review of We, The Watchers  
Review by Smallvillescott
Rated: E | (4.5)
This short story is amazing, the use of language, verbs, descriptions kept me addicted the whole time. After a little spot research Gahen is Cornish for Black Henbrane, which is a plant so keeping very true to the whole theme the names also tie in nicely. Great story.
