I believe I understand fully how the character in "Putting Your Life on the Line" became terribly "outraged"... it is one of the many questions (in life) that need an answer, of which, I am unable to answer fully myself... however, it is indeed a valid question that needs an answer...
"Dark Horse" is presented as a loss of one's love/lover as well as a realization that somewhere along the way there is a magical apparition between two people whose love for and each other brings about a "black horse"... In our world of reality, do we actually come face to face with one apparition that connects us to each other?????? Especially after losing someone????
Good for the writer to come up with a magical "black horse"... in response to the question: "How could something so beautiful take away the one I love?" I believe it is may be possible...
Why are we quick to judge others? Because that seems what "My Heart's Desire" implies; a judgment of people who have focused their hearts and minds upon penguins. We do take it for granted that we know what we want to do. However, we forget that we as humans have many, many differences among and between us... and in order to keep away from creating a "war-like atmosphere", that we should learn to let others do whatever they want to believe in...
This short episode, "A Fear of Needles", of a mother consoling her son to be "brave and strong", shows us the patience of a mother as well as the son's realization that the prick of the needle was a mere "shudder". This short tale shows us the many ways a mother guides her son to believe and accept that which is part and parcel of life...
Through this piece of writing, "Late One Night edit", the writer tells of "Astrid" who beds down early, "wake up after a few hours to find solace in the darkest part of the night." It seems Astrid "needed to think or to relax" in the stillness of the night; that "not even her betrothed Hiccup was aware" of these nightly times spent alone... Why and what is the idea behind keeping secret one's wish to be alone???
"The Canady Farm WC: 297" is a tale of selfishness and disrsegard for a fellow human being. Marriage, I was made to understand, is a contract between two individuals to work together, to make each other happy, and most of all, to be considerate with each other. The writer, however, has proven that marriage is not all that all... I salute the writer for bringing about the meaning of marriage through this tale...
The writer of "A day at the Office" shared this short tale about the "pleasure of working" in an office; and the good relationship among, and between, the employees with each other. It is another example of an interesting story that needed to be written...
"The First Task" relates about a boy's task to walk his sister to school. For Caleb, it probably meant he was going to get a lot of kidding from the other boys in school, which was how he actually felt when he thought: "Everything seemed so much more ominous about this Tuesday morning when he had to start it off by walking his sister to school"... Why do boys get terribly upset when they walk their little sisters to school???? Just reminded me how my brother felt... What a fun little story...
"Old Man Iverson WC: 296" is a light tale about a young boy, who broke a neighbor's window, and was punished to work at the neighbor's house for a week, to pay for the repair of the window. At the end of the story, the boy seemed to have enjoyed the work when he said: "I did ten push-ups!!"
An inspiring story, indeed. Here's hoping the writer will let us read more of his works...
"Who Was He?" is a good tale of a young boy who went out of his house, to explore... It is presented well, even to the point where the child is shown as very, very young when he says, "who carries me home I don't remember" as well as "but my memory is a bit hazy". However, somewhere along the way, the little child remembers (and here we may consider that the tale was written as an adult) seeing an apparition, which fortunately was also observed by the mother; which implies that the child wrote the incident as an adult...
I salute the writer for writing the story in such a way that a reader would realize that the tale was a memory from an adult... It was a good presentation, and I am inspired by it...
Hey, there, Sincerely, me: your one-line "2nd place" got me to review it; and I can honestly let you know that it is interesting that you are able to write a single-lined tale that tells of a writer who realizes his/her limitations and accepts it. However, there is a beginning and when there is a beginning, there may also come an ending; and probably a second chance to write more than just a single-lined tale... Hope is always a next time, a tomorrow, a try again chance...
"Rim Road WC 297" reflects the many stories about old, hunted houses and old men. As children, we dare ourselves to be brave, not realizing, of course, that we are just as scared as when a black cat comes our way. However, there is a question in my mind as I reviewed this piece of work: do children love to read stories like these???? No matter, though; what is thrilling is that children do enjoy getting scared...
This piece of work, "Overtime", is a light tale of things that go wrong... It is also a good sample of how easy it is for humans to get into trouble; in this story between a couple... It is an inspiring piece of work that the writer presented in a light manner because in real life people are susceptible to making mistakes in their lives...
Wow, is this, "The Notebook", a terror tale in the night? Finding a notebook and from it words that horrified the finder. It horrified me, too, reading it... It is a good example of a short piece of work that brought out fear and horror and much interest to the reviewer...
"The Cabin at Night WC:291" tells of a husband's way of getting his wife to sell their cabin. It does tell of how a husband tries to convence his wife to do what he wants to do: sell their cabin. However, the idea turned wrong, and ...
It was a light tale of how things happen between wives and husbands; and the many ways they try to outdo each other... A credit to the writer...
I enjoyed my review of the "Wire Walker" because it tells of a person who endeavors to do something dangerous as a wire walker; dreamed of wanting to be a performer; pursued it with effort and practice; and finally became a "highwire artist".
This actually is reminiscent of how writers start: dream, pursue the dream; practice, fail, practice, and finally enjoying the dream that became a reality...
We all love to read stories about grandpas/grandmas. "Christmas Wish" is one that brings to mind many tales about other grandpas/grandmas, especially the "love" that Andy has for his grandpa; especially as he remembers years in the company of his grandfather. I would say this little flash tale is just the right piece of work about Christmas...
"Untitled Moonlight-Chapter Four" is a light tale about animals and the friendship between animals. However, I would like to let the writer know of the following errors in spelling: Number one: "Her sent was stronger..." "sent" should be spelled "scent"
Number two: "I guess I'll have to try not to wake her ... try not to get "board". "board" should be spelled "bored".
Maybe the writer should scan her/his work before sending it out. Spellings are one of the mistakes that writers often do...
The "October 31 Plot Premise Revisited" is a one-line tale about an investigator who writes well... How great it is to write and write well... We hope to read more of this writer's work...
Yes, I believe I would agree with the writer of "Ink and Graphite", of the last sentence he wrote, that says: "The sterile design we would have made pales beside the vibrant forest of serendipity that springs forth from the seeds we call error." We all get there, I suppose...
"Age Does Not Matter" tells a story of "Mary Josephine Moses", who was once married to a prince. She lived in a sanitarium after the death of her husband. Unfortunately the sanitarium closed down and Mary "was shuffled to a homeless shelter". In our present-day life, we learn of, and we become aware of, how Mary or any Mary for that matter, becomes a "bag lady". It is truly unfortunate that there are many Marys today, with a social problem that some governments are unable to solve. I appreciate the writer who shows us through this tale that there are people like Mary...
This is a very interesting tale of a stone, who once lived by the lake; lived in a cage with a turtle and then with a hamster, and continued to other "adventures" as depicted by the writer. I decided to review this piece of writing because of how the writer made his work really as interesting with the number of characters that became part of the story. Here's hoping the writer will continue to present more of his work...
There are many questions a writer asks in the piece of work, "Purgatory of Footsteps". What is life and what is death? In writing, writers do show and tell of questions that are sometimes unanswerable because in our earth world there is always "something unanswereable"...
