Hi again Kelchworth, thank you for the review request.
I am no literary professor however I like to read and feel like my opinions relate with today's average reader.
I hope you will find this feedback helpful.
Clarity:A good title for this sci-fi mystery tale.
Writing style:Sci-fi adventure drama.
Are all 3 genres listed?Only one is listed, by listing the Max amount of three genres your work will be available to more readers and browsers searching in that genre.
Is the structure and format easy for the reader?A good structure however it appears a bit crowded and might benefit from some blank lines between at least the longer paragraphs. This would make it less intimidating for the reader and more appealing for a browser or potential reader.
Is the dialog appropriate for the speaker?A good job with the dialog which is realistic and appropriate for its speaker.
My favorite line:---Hello, hubby!"---
My two cents is only one opinion. Overall impressions: A nice easygoing opening. Consider this line
---Jenkia saw a massive object descending from the sky. It was closing fast, and with his enhanced sight, he could see exactly what it was. A Rudyan drop ship. Which meant a Rudyan assault squad.---
for a stronger opening that might grab the readers attention better.
How did Jenkia acquire his enhanced sight?
Good detailed descriptions that paint a good picture of the paradise planet of Xeria. Plenty of well described action as the Rudyan marines strike and assault the planet.
Lira caught me totally off guard as she brought even more mystery into the tale. What is the plan that Jenkia is unknowingly a part of?
A good strong ending that leaves the reader wanting to turn the page and read more.
Kelchworth thank you for sharing this work it has been a thrill to read it.
Suggestions:Consider a blank line between paragraphs to make it easier on those of us readers with weaker eyes. A good edit never hurts, consider experimenting with the opening line.
Form, Format, Rhyme and Meter:'If Only' is a delightful eight line poem with a nice rhyming pattern that gives this short poem a poetic flow. The focus as the title suggests is on a past time that the author would like to revisit.
Artistic Voice and Imagery:I see the image of a soul looking back over the sea of time to a important point that they long to revisit.
Grammar, Spelling and Mechanics:No problems that I can see with the spelling, grammar or mechanics of this entertaining poem.

Is the structure and format easy for the reader?A nice structure that does make it easy on the reader as well as inviting for a browser.
Is the dialog appropriate for the speaker?A great job with realistic dialog.
My favorite line:---"Those bastards had never done a day's real work in their life!"---
My two cents is only one opinion. Overall impressions: A good opening that does get my attention and make me wanna read more.
Well described with realistic dialog that gently pulls me into the tale as it slowly introduces Gloven the overseer. A good picture of Gloven is painted followed with a good ending for chapter one.
Chapter two starts out good, is well written with a lot of good descriptions and details, maybe too many. Because for me my attention began to wonder away a bit toward the middle.
I like the title and start of chapter three. My attention starts to rekindle. Plenty of action then a cliffhanger ending leaving this reader wanting to turn the page.
Kelchworth thank you for sharing this work it has been a joy to read it.
Suggestions:Maybe its just me but consider a stronger title for chapter one & two and possibly a bit of work on chapter two.
Form, Format, Rhyme and Meter: A lyrics style poem about an indie submarine. A nice modern day version of the yellow submarine with references to the internet and You Tube. Without the Beatles singing it neither the voice on my computer or I could quite get in the rhythm.
Nice poetic lines that paint the indie story. For me 'indie' just don't seem to be as catchy as yellow.
Grammar, Spelling and Mechanics:No problems that I see with the grammar spelling or mechanics of this entertaining work.
Brigitte thank you for sharing your poem.

My two cents is only one opinion. Overall impressions:A good opening with plenty of action to grab my attention. Good descriptions with very realistic dialogue both helped take the reader into this tale.
The twist at 'how my grand pappy met his fate' caught me unprepared. A nice ending for chapter one.
Chapter two was delightful even though personally I'm not a big fan of zombies. Ending with a bit of mystery to get the reader thinking.
Kelchworth thank you for sharing this work it has been a joy to read it.
Suggestions: Nicely done however a good reread and edit never hurts.
Form, Format, Rhyme and Meter:A political poem in a unique original style.
Well written in a realistic yet humorous style. A great idea for this sign of the times historical tale.
I like the realistic yet humorous style. Consider shorting some of the longer sentences to keep a more uniform structure, as they seem to linger. A wonderful work however for me it seemed to ramble on a bit toward the end. Kanishka Sanyukt thank you for sharing your poem.

Form, Format, Rhyme and Meter:
Seems like a good poem, it is just written in a language that I don't quite get. To me it reads like it was picked from the middle missing the introduction which leaves me guessing.
A sport poem that seems to be ranting about an unpopular rule or decision.
Sports fans especially the hardcore ones do seem to have a secret language that only they understand. I have to admit I don't get it.
This work does indeed have a catchy tone that sticks in your head. Silvern thank you for sharing your poem.

Form, Format, Rhyme and Meter:A seat with insomnia is a gothic dark style free verse poem. Well written with deep undertones. It feels like this was written at a low point in the author's life.
Artistic Voice and Imagery: I see the image of a dark mysterious realm where nothing at all makes sense and sleep is forbidden. The birth place of misery where one can't get out of bed.
Grammar, Spelling and Mechanics: I can find no problems at all with the grammar spelling or mechanics of this deep work.

My two cents is only one opinion. Overall impressions: a good opening line that catches my attention and makes me want to read more.
Well written with great descriptions that easily take the readers straight into the tale.
Short and to the point with plenty of action and a nice twist at the end. That seems to be the way the modern reader likes things.
Kelchworth thank you for sharing this work it has been a joy to read it.
Form, Format, Rhyme and Meter: As they have just now discontinued making the penny this seems like a very appropriate subject for the time. So they say it cost almost 4 cents to make a 1 cent penny. Only in the good old' USA. At least I feel like most countries would have shot it down when the cost exceeded the product.
'Head or tail I don't understand my scope or range.'
This is a well written free verse poem decades ahead of its time.
Artistic Voice and Imagery: 'Kindness and ignorance both work themselves out in the end, like the flipped sides of a Lincoln penny that you don't get a choice in common.'
Grammar, Spelling and Mechanics: I can find no problems at all with the spelling grammar or mechanics of this classic work that is ahead of its time.

My two cents is only one opinion. Overall impressions: Most people would think that a 240 word short story would be easy. Those people don't have a clue.
The author has so little to work with, meaning he must make every word count. That is what you have done in this delightful tale. A delightful entertaining story, short and straight to the point. Just the way the modern reader likes things.
Seems like you met the prompt requirements well, I hope you won the contest. 240 words is not a lot to work with yet what a entertaining and delightful tale. Even a slight bit of mystery at the end.
Dave Ryan thank you for sharing this work it has been a joy to read it.

Form, Format, Rhyme and Meter:This poem shows that it was written in the uncertain time of the pandemic when life as we knew stopped. Masks had to be worn. Social distancing, businesses closed, Holidays canceled even the skies had no traffic. That brief time that seemed to linger forever where the whole world had come to a stop.
This well worded poem takes me back to that point in time that will forever be carved in my memory.
Artistic Voice and Imagery: I see the image of a world that has stopped and fell back over a hundred years in time. The people in solitude and isolation redefine everything they were ever taught. Slowly a different world emerges and works hard to make up for that lost time.
Grammar, Spelling and Mechanics: I can find no problems at all with this strong and emotional poem that has taken me back a few years in the past.
