"Family" tells a tale that is easy to understand, and a funny, too. Imagine an old lady who is aware of the way some young boys try to scare an elderly woman. It turns out, she scared the two boys...and then adopted one of them. How sweet!!!!
Maybe if there were a lot more elderly women who do not scare easy, then our streets would be less scary... we shall probably see less young boys who go astray...
"The Counselling Session WC: 215" is definitely a waste of money according to the wife in this counselling session. Even the counselor found it rather a waste of time...
When it comes to counselling session, especially between a wife and a husband, and especially when the husband himself thinks it is all a joke, even as he was not willing to stop his philandering...
Thank you, Story Mistress, for that summation of comments, re: "giving criticism". I understand what you are saying, and I believe I, myself, have come to believe that there are people who just want to say something, without realizing what they are saying/writing. I wonder, though, why they should be so negative?????
Why was a Cheerios box and a fake green plastic knife considered inappropriate for Halloween by a teacher? Maybe the teacher considered the plastic knife much more inappropriate? Nevertheless, both teacher and parent have gotten angry with each other because of a matter of opinion? And something like this scene should probably be avoided if both considered the fact that children do develop their ideas through learning and copying... and therefore teacher and parent should just let things get on...
"Where to Meet God" is a solid, strong faith displayed in this work. There is no ifs, there is only strong belief. The sharing of such a strong belief creates a message of "completeness you feel when you acknowledge Him" as I quote the writer's words. Through the busyness in our lives, we tend sometimes to realize that, and I quote the writer again, "God is real, and if you will allow Him, He will walk with you daily..."
I am rather curious. Why is it necessary to control others? There is such a thing as freedom, a free will to live harmoniously with others; an idea of "live and let live", which, in the long run, would allow people to communicate with each other without remorse nor regret. "Kate loved" should understand that life can be lived properly without the need to "control" and that the need to control others should NOT be the rule of life...
The blessedness of life becomes the theme of "An Appointment in Erfoud". Death was on its way to one called, Omar, who with all good luck managed somehow to avoid his death through a different in time... How lucky we would all be if we can avoid dying by a mere difference in time!!!
Did Paco discover who the serial killer was? Quite a discovery, indeed... The "Calling Card" is a crime tale of a killer, who happens to be a woman, as Paco, the Detective, discovered...
I understood the "tears" that the family shed in the story of "Christmas 1984", and realized that Christmas or any other holidays are great days when people see and feel the "needs of others" in their neighborhood... It is a holiday tale that makes us realize that there are kind hearts every where...
The writer of "Impossible" seems to have come to the conclusion that the "duality of nature" means we can taste the bitterness of a "bitter honey lemon" and also find joy in the "simplicity of love". I believe I agree with this conclusion...
"Ambition" is a short tale of a woman who never lost hope of performing in a Broadway production. As proof of her burning ambition, she scoured, nightly, "the papers for auditions...keeping her dream alive". It is an ambition that shows great hope and belief in someone's wish to perform...
Reviewing "The Curse of the Mudflats", I concluded that here is a young man, who for years, listened to his parents about the danger in the mudflats. It did not matter at all because here was a young man who believed he can outwit his parents. In the state he was in, "wading through waist-deep muck", he finally realized the error of his decision: to prove to his parents the mudflats were not dangerous...
After I reviewed, "A Bump in the Night", I would suggest to "Lillibet" to move out of her apartment building and instead rent a one-bedroom house, where the only noises she would hear in the night would be her breathing... In an apartment building, there are people who may snore loudly or people who love to sing loudly in the shower or people who would turn up their videos just to scare other apartment renters... This short work does bring to the fore some of the things (problems) that come up in a large apartment building, including pop, pop of guns? or unearthly screams that make a person call for help...
I laughed after I read, "The Family Bible"!!! It looks like the 11 year old boy is showing signs of becoming a future "comedian"????? What a light tale...
That is great, britbvfby, carry on with your writing; you are doing fine...keeping your sanity is one big help, especially when it comes to writing... blog it as much as you can because that is the only way you can be certain you are still SANE...All good wishes,
"My First Concert" is a light tale about two young people who are fans of the Beatles; and who made plans to stowaway in the plane with the Beatles. Although their plans did not materialize, they were just plain happy they had their day with the Beatles. Along with the idea of stowing, these two young persons thought Social Security cards were enough to allow them to work in England... Quite a disappointment, however, if they did stowaway...
This is a light tale that seems typical at a time when young people plan something, and to realize that their plans are short of good planning...
The short tale of "A Suuny Fall Day!" tells of a Deidra, who "didn't feel quite so alone"as she finds herself enjoying the "hustle and bustle" of the day. It was an easy read; although I would like to point to the author one or two spelling errors:
The first sentence: "...middle of November and people where only wearing ..." "where" should be "were".
In the second sentence: "...the young where so resilient..." again "where" should be "were".
Otherwise,the tale does show a feeling of goodness among people...
"The Hotel Room" is a short tale of a police woman who was killed, and how two FBI agents questioned another woman. It appeared the woman was at the same area and at the same time where the police woman was killed. However, she was not arrested...
At the start of the story, it tells how in the 1980s police condoned crmes/murders in Italy; that as friends of criminals/murderers they did not bother to investigate crimes.
My only reaction to this tale is, I am glad Italy's police force are now fighting crimes...
"Rough Justice" tells of a "Mr. Brooks", who was in court, being questioned about a "a body" on the pavement. In his mind, the circumstances of how he was found on the same pavement as a dead body, cannot be explained properly; and so he remained silent...
Is this short tale saying that our justice system is not fair? I wonder...
When one sibling turns into a sort of "hero", the younger one stares and hopes that he would one day be as good as his older brother... We rejoice when we see children learn things; and even happier when a sibling learns and folows the older brother's "heroic" way...
"He's My Best Friend" reminds me of a hymn that I have loved since childhood, "What A Friend We Have in Jesus". This short work tells of a kind of a "friend" who will always be there for you, especially when "you are lonely, if you are in trouble and need someone to be there with you", which I quote from this work. It further says, and I quote again: "I am sure you will find Him to be one that truly cares."
It is wonderful when we have someone, a friend, we can go to, talk to, and be blessed at the same time; and become "precious in the sight of God."
This is indeed a great invitation we, as people, would gladly accept...
"Black in America" focuses on the fact that black persons are considered and thought of as "lazy, crazy, or angry." Although the thought is a general thinking, somehow this erroneous way of thinking comes down to the fact that color or sex should not be the focus but that we should "see through the eyes of Christ". It is a beautiful way of saying there is no difference at all between peoples of the world as long as we are in Christ...
"The music dream" tells of a son's ambition to teach music, and how a father misunderstood what the son is all about and then realize he wants to know more of what the son is all about. The tale is a typical scene that happens in a family when children know what they want to do, and are at times misunderstood by a parent. The bright thing about this tale is that the parent did admit of what his son wanted to do... An encouraging tale for parents...
"Mind Games" is a short article on manipulation. It strongly believes that a manipulator has a way of making someone believes she/he "is in control", and that neither she nor he are able to distinguish the manipulator's hold on either. Is the writer convincing enough?
