Review of My First Concert  
Review by elephantsealer
In affiliation with SENIOR CENTER GROUP  
Rated: E | (3.5)
"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...

Review of A Sunny Fall Day!  
Review by elephantsealer

Rated: E | (3.5)
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...

Review of The Hotel Room  
Review by elephantsealer

Rated: E | (3.5)
"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...

Review of Rough Justice  
Review by elephantsealer

"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...

Review of Jurassic Kid

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...

Review of Black in America!  
Review by elephantsealer
In affiliation with SENIOR CENTER GROUP  
Rated: E | (3.5)
"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...

Review of The music dream  
Review by elephantsealer

Rated: E | (4.0)
"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...

Review of Mind Games  
Review by elephantsealer

"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?

"A Trip to the Carnival" is a short tale of the terror one feels or imagines when one is alone... The writer tells of the realization of "terror" when the noise of hundreds of people suddenly turns into a feeling of "aloneness" because of the silence... What do we do in such a situation? Do we cry out? Do we panic? What are our options?

This tale, however, tells us that "We are the hopes and dreams and future of all people gone from earth." Somehow, I tend to believe in such a "hope"...

Is the tale, "A Measured Response", a message to those who read it? It did send a clear message: be careful what you have; do not push its use to its limits because you may get hurt!!! By golly, what a way to lose one's life!!!

In our humanness, we tend to want to know what we have and own; and we also tend to forget that learning the use of something we "find" may bring us "bad luck", as in dying... The writer had a most clear-cut way to show us in her/his message... I salute this writer...

"God, What Can I Do For You?" advocaates two principles that a human can do: ask God what we can do for Him, and learn to treat another as much as one does to oneself. These are two reasonable ways to be a good human... In the meantime, I would instead ask a "neighbor" if I can do something for her/him, whether or not he is sick, in good health or just another human being because God did say: "Love thy neighbor..." and by "loving one's neighbor" we are already doing something for God...

Review of Not This Time

"Not This Time" gave me a surprise. Should I concluder the boy lied to his father or shall I conclude that the boy has learned a way to get something he wants without creating any suspicion from his father? Somehow, I think the boy has learned a way to get what he wants, not realizing he may have to face his father when the truth of the money loan comes out...

"Synopsis of Viewpoint 911" tells of a Jess Black who tried to find her husband, Simon Black, who was believed to have died in the tragedy of 9/11; with the help of PI George Washington Stanley, who was supposed to be an investigator who did not believe that a case he investigates "is never closed."

But of course, the tale stops at that point; and as readers we will never know whether or not the investigation into the missing husband is every completed...or we can surmise that Simon did die during the 9/11 tragedy...

This tale is short and to the point. Every single word used became part of the story of the death of one Simon as well as Jess' part as the wife who unfortunately lost her husband...

"Faulty Transmitter" tells of a child who found an electronic contraption, and with curiosity, the child, of course, begins to press buttons, causing things to happen and happen it did, to the distress of the mother... Is there a lesson here? Maybe...

Review of Nelida  
Review by elephantsealer

Rated: E | (3.5)
"Nelida" tells of a new mother's thoughts after she gave birth to her daughter. It relates the love and the hope that a mother wishes for her daughter as she grows up; of the many wonderful things that a new mother would actually want for a daughter. For a comment, I think this mother has gone overboard with all the many wonderful things she wants to do for a daughter; and it is not really odd because mothers do go overboard when it comes to their children...

"Bill: In Honor Of" is a great tribute from a student to a teacher. In our every day life, we learn many, many things from others who are willing, able and patient to help and aid us in our learning; and giving tribute to them is one way we express our gratitude ...

Review of Man of the Forest  
Review by elephantsealer

Rated: E | (4.0)
"Man of the Forest" tells of a New Guinea orangutan that was captured through subtlety, and was compared to Americans, who apparently have dependened on buying cheap products from "foreign manufacturers" that cause the depletion and weakened "our monetary value". This is indeed a sad realization, that should give us thoughts and strength to find ways to return to farming and endeavor to produce more American products...

The idea behind this work is excellent. America has become "cheap" and we must learn instead to be aware of "the bucket of gin at the base of our tree."

As I read "The Elevator encounter", I realized that the "little boy" character did not seem eager to join the others who were just about ready to join the trick-a-treat crowd. In fact, the boy "sidled closer to his mother" when he saw the different characters of the children in the elevator, and he was heard saying, "This place is scary!" when the elevator emptied.

This custom of children dressing up and going from house to house, collecting candy, is one of the joyful activities children just love to do. However, this one little boy did not seem to want to join in. I wonder why?

The discovery of a character's mistake in not realizing that the "husband" she wanted for herself was actually another "killer" like her




"The Not-So-Hidden Truth" is a tale of two killers in the shape of a woman and the man she wanted for herself as a husband... Are there people like these two in our world today? I wonder...

"Following Stupid Orders" tells of an employee who deliberately disobeyed an order by the boss. Realizing the mistake, the character realized later on the stupidity of disobeying, with the final words: "If you're ordered to do something ridiculous, it's best to do it. You can ponder the stupidity afterward."

It surely is a good advice...

"The Turkey" is a light tale of one male turkey escaping his fate, and in meeting a girl turkey who also escaped from her fate. They became friends, and in their hunger, they found a field of corn where "they celebrated and had dinner together."

I had a good laugh as I read this short work. I wondered, though; is it possible turkeys know and realize they were purposely raised to be eaten? Of course, if I am a turkey as well, I would do the same thing...

"The Trouble With Brothers" is a light tale about family gatherings. In family gatherings there is always a time when something new developes among the families. And it is like that when families come together. Then that certain new thing becomes a memory that brings about the meaning of family reunions...

Review of Empty Spaces  
Review by elephantsealer

Rated: ASR | (3.5)
"Empty Spaces" tells of one person's thoughts of "suicide comes a pain that can never recede." Depression drives the character to think of suicide although in his own words the character admits that "depression I am in is not too much - it can be beaten and ebbed".

Suicide is one of the problems that young people of today are facing; and the depression that leads them to commit suicide may lead to "a tsunami of sadness that would never be able to be drained in the aftermath." If a young person thinks that way, maybe she/he will admit to what the character in this tale has concluded...and perhaps seek help...

Review of The Letter  
Review by elephantsealer
In affiliation with SENIOR CENTER GROUP  
Rated: E | (3.5)
When I finished the review of "The Letter", it dawned in me that the purpose of the letter that had yellowed with "cracked edges" was obviously a warning. Even as "Harrison" admitted he wrote it, and then questioned himself how he could have written it in "1847?" What a surprise he got though when he found himself "in a pasture, a bull's nose in my face" when he did not believe the message in the letter... and instead entered the chamber...

Sometimes in our humanness we tend to reassure ourselves that we know what to believe, and to learn after all, that we should probably think twice before jumping into something we ought not to do... This "letter" was inspiring...
