Review of All in the Game

Greetings, Beholden!
This is pretty good! And I love the way you told it as a seafaring world traveler and using all that foreign mumbo jumbo language! I could actually understand what you were saying! *Laugh*
But I really don't mean that as a joke cuz it made the story seem more real. I like how you used that prompt, and that would indeed be 'the game that must not be played'.
Is that a Kenny Rogers or a Charlie Daniels song I hear playing in the background? *Laugh*
Great spelling and grammar (and prose!)! The ending was a little sudden, but with these 500 word FFs, what are you gonna do?
Kee ponw ritin gon, thanks for sharing this, good luck in the contest, and congratulations on your promotion to Preferred Author!

Aloha, Richard!
This is pretty cool, and sadly, it does say a lot about my cynical views when it comes to romance. Suffice it to say that I was married to a red head *Sad*. And unfortunately I'm a STILL sucker for red heads! *Cry*
I'm no expert on poetry, but I do like me limericks, and you did a great job with this one! You said it was 'nonsense', but I found it comical more than anything!
Well done, my friend! I'm surprised you used my handle and managed to get a couple of things to rhyme with it!
Kee ponw ritin gon, thanks again, and have a terrifyingly terrific Valentines Day!

Review of Tomorrow Now  
Review by Angus
In affiliation with The WDC Angel Army  
Rated: E | (4.5)
Greetings, Jdennis!
Wow. This is something else. I had to read it twice, and to be honest, I'm still trying to let it soak in.
The title is certainly a bit of a paradox, so I'm not sure if this is the future you're speaking about from yesterday (which would make it today?) or tomorrow as we see it from now. *Crazy*
If I'm correct, people are seeing this happening (our fate) from the inside of a ship as they watch those lines continuously scrolling down the monitors, which does indeed give it a futuristic feel. And then I believe the ship hits a wave, things go awry, and then then the ship, which at first the passengers thought would take them to a better, new future (or home), suddenly explodes.
I know I'm way off with this, but that's how I see it. If you'd like to explain, I'd love to hear it!
Your descriptions and words were excellent, as was the spelling and grammar, and your prose was great!
And you seem to have one hell of an imagination!
Nice job, my friend! It's a really good piece, but it's a little hard to absorb in one sitting, if you know what I mean! I kind of felt like I was on a mind-altering drug as I read it! Or maybe I NEED to be on one to get the gist of it! *Laugh*
Kee ponw ritin gon, Jdennis! Thanks for sharing this, and have a fantastic day!
Oh, and congratulations on your promotion to Preferred Author! You look great in YELLOW!

Hello there, Elizabeth.
This is a sad piece, and unfortunately it so true. No person should have to deal with this sort of thing, and your point about the abuser being two-faced is perfect.
I know the abuser is usually male, but it's not unheard of a woman doing the same thing. It might not be physical abuse, but even psychological abuse can be brutal. I know this for a fact!
As for the poetry part, I'm no expert, but it seemed a little bumpy. But that doesn't matter since it's the subject of this that counts.
Well done, my friend! I wish more people would recognize this horrible act, so I thank you for bring attention to it!
Kee ponw ritin gon, Elizabeth!

*CakeB* HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews" *CakeP*

Greetings, Alanis Pierce, and happy belated 12th 'birthday' on here!
This is pretty good. A little strange, but certainly good!
I can totally understand this old man's agitation with this mouse who keeps urging him 'to go whisper there.' And when he finally finds out where he wants him to whisper, he kills the mouse! Not sure why though, unless he just finally got fed up with the mouse.
As for the poetry, I'm no expert on it, so I don't know what style this was in, but it did seem to have an Edgar Allan Poe flavor to it with the repetition of that whispering phrase!
Overall, nice job!
Kee ponw ritin gon, Alanis! Thanks for sharing this, I hope to see you back here soon, and may you have many more wonderful 'birthdays' on WdC!

Ahoy, Ken!
Well, I’d have to agree with Doris on this: you are a smooth one, aren’t ya?
Seriously though, this is pretty good. It seems to be a little more romantic than comedy though, but that’s understandable given the circumstances.
I like how you used the prompt words, and the dialogue was realistic.
Just a shame you only had 300 words to use, otherwise you might have been able to squeeze another double entendre in there. Like having Will say “Would you like me to plug it in?” *Laugh*
Kee ponw ritin gon, my friend! ‘Twas a pleasure to read, and have a gnarly day/evening!

Hello there, Tlx!
This isn't bad for such a short piece, and I like how you told it.
You hit the nail on the head with that your byline: It's very true that sometimes our eyes see something different than what's really there!
I don't mind eathing foreign food, but I want to know what it is first. And if I can't recognize right it off, then somebody damn well better tell me!
But even then, if I DO know what it is, and it's MOVING? *Shock2* Nope! I ain't eatin' it! Sorry.
And I'm no fan of Tofu either!
Well done, my friend! And I can see why you were wishing for that cookie! *Bigsmile*

*BalloonR* Welcome to WDC from "Newbie Welcome Wagon" ! *BalloonR*

Hello, Sandy-Lou.
Please don't let these demons get to you! I won't say I know what you're going through because I haven't, but I've pretty close at times. And the last thing you need/want to do is something foolish! I understand you think you have a hard battle ahead, some us maybe harder than others, but you can do it! You know you can, but you're not letting yourself do it! It's not so much the demons that are doing this to you, but your own feelings that you can't do it. But I know you CAN, and so do YOU!
Please be more positive of yourself! Be strong for your mom, be strong for your daughter, but most importantly BE STRONG FOR YOURSELF!
People do care about you, such as myself, and I don't even KNOW you! If you don't know how to ask for help, then maybe see a therapist. Or just simply ask somebody. ANYBODY!
I know it might seem like the road ahead is going to be rough, but trust me, it only seems that way! And even if you do hit a few bumps on the way (which you will), they won't be enough to keep you from following that road to HAPPINESS!
Take care of yourself, Sandy-Lou! And please know that there are people that truly care about you and want you to get through this patch!
PS-I'm glad you're writing about this! And yes, it's a scientific fact that writing your feelings down CAN have a cathartic (soothing) affect on you!
PSS-You might want to get your bioblock (biography) set up so we can know a little something about you (hobbies, favorite books/authors, location, etc.), but that's up to you, of course.
PSSS-And since you’re new here, perhaps you’d like to check out "Noticing Newbies"  and introduce yourself to the rest of the community if you haven’t already.

Greetings, BScholl!
This is pretty good for a flash fiction piece! The fact that Manny would turn on his friend in order to get an early release isn't out of the ordinary, but it did come as surprise for this!
You did a great job with the descriptions as Rebel tried to file his way to freedom, only to find out that his buddy wasn't such a buddy after all!
Damn the luck!
Nice use of the prompt words, and the spelling and grammar was great, but I do have a couple of suggestions:
'He took out his file. 126 seconds and then it would shine again.' (I think these two sentences should be reversed since the file relates directly to him filing and the 126 seconds relate directly to the spotlights. This is obviously just a suggestion, and the only reason I bring it up is cuz it caught my eye!)
“There he is!” A guard shouted. (a)
Kee ponw ritin gon, my friend! It was a pleasure to read, and have a wonderful day!

Hello, Normajean!
For an extremely short flash fiction piece, I thought this was pretty good. It's simple and to the point, and I like the darkness of it, as well as the potential dark possibilities that could come!
For example, how exactly did John manage to get you to sit still? Methinks you might be encased in cement! *Shock2*
Great spelling and grammar, and nice use of the prompt words!
'Still-life with Apple', eh? I'm going to check that out! *Bigsmile*
One question: is it a painting? Or an actual 'still life', like a statue of sorts? *Smirk2*

Hello there, Pernell!
I was perusing your port and found this, and it's pretty good. The ending seemed a bit rushed and a little too simple though, but I like the concept of it.
I think if you went into more detail with the ending it would help. And I'm not too sure about why he was asking what that message 'LEAVE NOW' means. It says what it says.
As I said, this was going good for the 1st 3/4 of it, but then the ending felt like it dropped off all of a sudden.
But please know that's my own humble opinion and is not meant as any criticism of your work!

THIS IS A WdC SUPER POWER REVIEWERS RAID REVIEW!!!

Hello there, River!
This isn't bad. You did a good job with the prompt, and the way you told it made it sound as if it might have really happened to you!
I also like the imagery you used as you tried to out-maneuver the horned owl and stay away from its nest, and I know for fact they can be aggressive when trying to protect their young! Heck, what 'mother' isn't! *Bigsmile*
That simple statement at the end was the icing on the cake, though. I can just see you see there sitting on your bed pondering which of the two was scarier: dad or that owl? *Laugh*
Great spelling and grammar, but I did spot a couple of tiny niggles:
'with only it’s talons showing' (its)
'But now I’m even later for supper(.)
Also, not to be more picky than I already am, you used a lot of telling in this instead of showing. But otherwise, nice job!
Kee ponw ritin gon, River! 'Twas a pleasure to read, and have a fantastic day/evening!

*BalloonR* Welcome to WDC from "Newbie Welcome Wagon" ! *BalloonR*

Greetings, Miss V!
This is really good for one of your 1st pieces on here, and I love the way you wrote it by bringing it full circle with the woman finding herself inside of that child and the childhood she never had.
And using that virtual window to find her was an excellent choice to use for it!
There's a lot emotion in this piece, so I think it might be based on a real experience or yours (as far as your childhood is concerned, anyway).
Normally I'd comment about using 'She' to start so many of those sentences, but it worked quite well for this!
Comments and suggestions:
'As woman and child embrace (and) tears fall...'
'She is no longer cold(,) the chill is gone.'
Otherwise, BRAVO!
Kee ponw ritin gon, Miss V! It was a pleasure to read, and welcome to WdC! If you like to write, then you're going to love it here!

Hello there, Bob Country!
I try to stay away from politics on here (as much as possible, anyway), but I found this on a random Read & Review and had to check it out!
This is pretty good. I'm not saying I agree with it whole-heartedly, mainly since I'm not sure what 'Blat' means or is. But I totally agree with your comment about a certain tiny president being unstable! And not just in terms of being able to start a thermonuclear war!
I also like the tongue-in-cheek way you wrote this. Your comment about Putin and his exploding underpants was hilarious, and those last 5 words were the icing on the cake!

THIS IS A WdC SUPER POWER REVIEWERS RAID REVIEW!!!

Bon jour, Nixie!
This is really neat, and I can understand why it won that 1st place ribbon! Congratulations!
I was only 4 when all this took place, so I don't really remember it (but at least I can saw I was alive! *Bigsmile*).
I like the idea of your character happening to come across Mr. Armstrong at the KSC, and that part about being 'drawn there' for no particular reason was a nice touch. But it was the dialogue and descriptions that stood out to me; I could just picture her there stumbling over your words while he starts to ask you for some inspirational words when he sets foot on the moon, only to be interrupted by his colleagues. But you saved the best part for last when she does think of some words and manages to get them back to Neil, and then have him actually say them on that historic visit?
Kind of neat how you brought it full circle when he writes back to her and acknowledges her part on that day, even though the rest of the world will never know it!
Well done, my friend!

This is cool, and I can relate to the poor dude's problem. I've only asked one girl out in my whole life! All the girls/women I've had relationships with always asked ME out! It kills me to think of how many dates I probably missed out on cuz I didn't have the guts to ask THEM out! *Headbang*
You did a great job with the dialogue, and I like that bit of history you added to it. I also like how your character wondered who this guy was that broke into his house! It's a wonder he didn't get shot! *Laugh*
So I guess he's going on a date with Darla, right? And is she Walter's mom? I guess it doesn't matter, but now that he's 50, I wonder just how old she might be now? Then again, does age really matter when it comes to true love?
Well done, my friend.

I like how you told it with having the dog dig up not just the cash box and gun, but then human bones as well. But the best part was the ending: Yeah, Todd. I'd say it that was pretty ironic, alright! *Laugh*

Hi, Sue!
For such a short piece, this is cool. I'm not sure if it could be considered a 'Children's Story' since you have it under the 'Children's' genre, but I know why you did that (writing it from the perspective of a child). But that's what makes it so creepy!
Kid's can and do 'say the darndest things', and you hit on that a few times. "You're going to fill me in?" and your character's idea that he was going to be 'interrogated' were nice touches, and at least that 'torture' didn't last too long.
But those last six words were the icing on the cake: 'Not if I can help it!' *Laugh*

Hi there, Trailerpark!
This is good! You did a nice job of telling this, and that surprise/twisted ending was perfect. The way it was going there, I thought it was just going to have a 'happily ever after ending' (where the woman was perfectly innocent of that other ping pong ball trick), but then you tossed in that guy's last comment!
Well done!
"This is gonna be humiliating..." She thought. (she)
"Oh!" She exclaimed loudly. (she-these are speech tag niggles-if you want more info on them, I'll leave a link to a short article explaining them)

Hi there, Jacky!
This is a nice piece about a lonely and frightened little dog, and as an avid animal lover, I thought it was great. I like how you managed to get inside Tiff's head and show his emotions as these humans chase after him, and I also like how subtly you showed his distrust of humans, as if he's somehow been mistreated in the past.
But it was the ending that made me smile. I had an inkling he was going to be staying in that shelter, but you fixed that perfectly with those last 3 words!
One tiny niggle:
“There you are(.)” someone said softly. (comma)

Hi there, Sue!
I’m not sure what to say about this. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not bad, but I wasn’t expecting it to turn out so sad, considering the way it started with her mother watching her dancing so well. But then, like Elise’s life, it went gradually downhill from there.
But I guess she did manage to attain ‘stardom’, although I’m not sure if it what she truly wanted. Her parents obviously didn’t!
Great use of the prompt words, and the spelling and grammar was flawless.

Hello there, Beholden! Or should I say ‘Albert’? *Laugh*
I don’t know if this was for the personification contest or not, but it’s still pretty darn good! And hilarious!
If it wasn’t a prompt for the contest, I have no idea how you came up with this idea, but I loved it!
You’ve opened my eyes (and hopefully anyone else’s eyes who might read this) to how hard you kitchen appliances work each day to simplify our lives, but more importantly, how little respect you’re given during your hard years of dutiful servitude!
You certainly do deserve the respect and maintenance you’ve earned over the years, and I/we sincerely apologize for taking you for granted while performing your difficult duties.
And so, it is with heartfelt sadness and shameful guilt that I’ll accept your resignation, but please know that your replacement will never have to endure the torments and sacrifices that you had to.
Excellent job, my friend!

Kee ponw ritin gon, Beholden! Thanks for the laughs, and have a marvelous day!

*CakeB* HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews" *CakeP*

Greetings, Enigma, and happy 10th 'birthday' on here!
I don't know how you came up with the idea for this poll, but it's the most bizarre one I've seen on here yet!
That's not to say it's bad, but definitely bizarre!
I happened to choose Foot Musk, even though I'm not sure what that would smell like. The 'musk' reference kind of confused me. But as it stands right now, Flatulence/Farting is leading with 46 votes (32% of the votes) with Scat (which I know is bear droppings) right behind with 39 votes (27%), and Foot Musk in 3rd at 16 votes (11%).
But seriously, Flatulence/Farting? That just ain't right! I'm kind of surprised Drool/Bad Breath wasn't higher!
Anyway, thanks for sharing this wild poll, Enigma!
Kee ponw ritin gon, I hope to see you back here soon (you've been MIA for a year now!), and may you have many more wonderful 'birthdays' on WdC!
