The author of "Surprise" must know all about surprises that happen rather accidentally. It was rather a fun review... To the author, do let us read more about funny things that happen accidentally...
This little tale of "Another Sunday Afternoon" tells how an individual can go on an adventure by taking a walk. The "adventure" starts at seeing a rider on his horse; then, a "little girl" with a balloon. As the adventure moves on, it dawns on the adventurer that the rider as well as the little girl were found to be unfriendly... and in the end, she/he looks forward to having another adventure the "next Sunday".
The story of "The End of Lizard" reminded me of the custom of parents during the olden days, when money was short. Parents sold whatever they have, that would bring money into the home. In fact, in some countries, the practice of selling whatever they have in the house that can be sold is a way to get money. And do we blame parents if they do sell their daughter? Surely, it is one way to make life more comfortable and livable?
To the author, here's hoping you write more interesting fiction.
Reviewing "Jumping to A Conclusion" brought back to mind how young boys enjoy bike riding without realizing that there is also a danger to the exercise. Coming up with a "broken right arm" shows how the young do take their life without care because of the joy of riding bikes... This is an interesting story of two brothers ... who enjoy life through bike riding... not realizing that "broken bones" may be a point to consider...
As I read your "Butterflies and Hummingbirds" I, too, understood how it feels to be a butterfly or a hummingbird. They are beautiful and fascinating to watch, and one does get carried away watching "irradiant rippling feathers" move among the many colors of the flowers they visit... Your piece of work is interesting, indeed...
What is the mystery in "The Hermit's Tale"? What was the call that "Amilcar heard"? What was the reason "followers came to bring gifts and ask questions"? And what were his answers? And why did he leave the cave and "climbed another mountain"? As the tale ends, Amilcar reasoned and hoped to find "peace somewhere...".
Why did he stay in the cave for about a year before deciding to move up to another mountain, to find peace for himself?
My question: did the author meant this to be a mystery tale?
This short tale tells of a daughter who misses her father, who left a load of "junks" when he passed away. Somehow, the daughter found a machine that gave her some kind of message that was supposed to have been left by the father. When she finally understood the meaning of the riddle that he left, she found a "metal box" that contained "piles of gold coins", which she did not share...
As I went over this piece of work, I realized the author seems to believe that "death" is something beautiful, and that death represents to the author a"gorgeous serenity in one's final breath". I wondered why the author believes that death is "all we've got" because there is no question that we have life, we have love, we have loved ones, and most of all we have a life that we can spend with our fellowmen, with our families, with our friends...How can one miss all of that?????

Hey, there writer of "Once in a Blue Moon": you know if you carry on getting excited about any more "cosmological" event, you will eventually see not only one but two, or three, or four "cosmological" event/s that you will get more excited about. Carry on writing and you know you will one day be right there, on the spot, with your excitement...
Do we still believe there are humans who can "morph" into a "cat" or into an animal in order to "kill" a human? The short piece, "After Sunset in Pearl Mist" relates the killing of a "Commander Andre Drummond" by a cat.
When I was little, I heard stories of humans changing into some kind of an animal who can kill. I used to get frightened with such stories. In this world of ours today, there is this story of a cat killing a human. I wonder...
Anyhow, it seems the author has found something to write about; and wrote it rather "frighteningly"... It is rather interesting...
"Love Is Blind" brings to my mind the many instances of what "love" means to someone. In this case, the young 17-year-old grows up, and writes about it for others to read and "understand" what love was and is to him...
We do grow up, and we find that "love" is "not blind" at all...
The author's "After Party" reminds me of the many number of times I have heard and read about parties. Not only mere parties, but parties that are held in someone else's home while they are away...
In a way, this party ends up differently: there was kindness and gratitude from the crowd that almost or practically destroyed someone else's home... It seems a "wake-up" call to the young and the "restless" as I would like to call the "younger crowd" of students...and it illustrates that they are as sensible as the "older" crowd...
A good piece of work to the author. May she/he continue to write more...
Ukraine and its people as well as Putin's war are in the minds of people around the world since the war started. I would like to wish, sometimes, that I have the power to say: presto, Putin's war is lost and the people of Ukraine can go back to their country and live a better life... However, this limerick really is a very good example of how people in the world feel about the war that Putin started in Ukraine.
To the author, good of you to write this limerick, an example of how people feel about the war in Ukraine. May there be good news soon to the people of Ukraine...
Hello, author of "Swords and Letters": reviewing your piece of work reminds me of "me" when I get terribly angry. You have expressed "anger" very well indeed; and here's hoping you will continue to write about other subjects...
Hi, there, Drake, welcome to Writing.Com. You have definitely chosen a place to do your writing! Struggling with writing is not a new feeling; all of us at Writing.Com has gone through that, and are still going through it. So, hitch your wagon, and come on in...
So a Mom can be the most wonderful person in the whole wide world. And it should stop there. Moms have good intentions; however...Moms are really not painters...they are just that: Moms
The author's "Whispers" is a great example of students who do not know how to learn and understand the subject of their studies. Stealing test papers become their hope of passing tests/finals. It is obvious that the teacher knows the three students who did not learn anything from the class; and it is also obvious he would give them failing grades.
Sometimes, when I choose to review a piece, I find it truly awesome that there are writers who can write a piece that is really worth reading.
I decided to review "Be Still. Incomplete" because of the phrase: "Be still, and know that I AM God". I have seen and read this phrase before; and the effect on me is the same: I pause and listen because to me it feels as if God is actually "talking" to me. The author has indeed written a piece that shows her/his ability as a writer.
Here's hoping she/he will aggresively continue writing...
I would love to visit the author's "Japanese Garden". How lovely it would be to see and feel the awesome colors of the flowers... To the author, thank you; and do continue writing more like this "practicing descriptions"...
"Just Between Us" reminded me of another story of another little girl who was burdened by things that happened at home. It seems there is always a little one (girl or boy) that evokes sympathy towards the "little one" by reading stories penned by writers. The one good thing, though, is that there is also "someone" who is able to understand the situation of such a "little one".
To the author, thank you for your short story. Well done...
Well done, you have found a way to release all the hurt feelings you have that you believe other people give you. However, you can be assured that all those people are also finding ways to learn to be more "blessed when you give..." Writing more helps as well...
And so you did something that made you feel good. Well done...it seems more and more people have fallen into a state of need and hunger. However, it is indeed good of you and others like you in volunteering to feed the "hungry". Writing about your work may make others "get up and go" and do volunteer work...
Your short story teeters at comedy. Although I do not write comedy, your story did make me laugh at two people who are either enemies or friends...keep it up...
