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...

Review of Love Is Blind  Open in new Window.

"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...

A good piece of work; do write some more...

Review of After Party  Open in new Window.
Review by elephantsealer Author IconMail Icon

Rated: E | (3.5)
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...

Review of Whispers  Open in new Window.

Rated: E | (3.5)
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.

Was it worth it, stealing test papers?

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...

St. Patrick's Day is one of Ireland's customary holidays, honoring the saint, with limericks and parades and fun and enjoyment, and drinking. In the USA, this holiday has become one that is celebrated with parades, music, and dancing...

This is a story about two people; a woman and a man, who are thrown together apparently because of the mystery of the place they have both chosen to spend time, away from their own side of the globe. The mystery of the place has affected both of them, of course... However, it seems that both have now realized that they were thrown together because of their decision to stay at a mysterious place.

Although there are a few errors in grammar, the effect of the mysterious place seems the very thing that may in the final analysis bring them together...

To the author, I do believe you have the knack to tell a story...

"The Minds of Trees" is a story of two people who think they need lots and lots of money so that they can grow more trees. It is a grand gesture and a great idea with regard to making "our earth" and "our land" a better place to live in, especially when it reminds us of the many ugly "things" that are destroying "our earth". "Plant more trees" became the echo that seemed to remind us that "our earth" need its people to be more serious in keeping "our earth" a good, clean place to live in; therefore, a "healthy" place for people to enjoy life in its fullest.

I would like to give the author 160 GPs for his effort to bring this idea to the attention of readers like me.

I can totally agree with the author of "We Live in a World..." although I think our world not only "needs to be fixed" but should be overhauled completely... We, humans as we are, are in this world; and what we have done is we have gone and did it our way; we have (and we absolutely believe) that what we are doing is the right thing. We have gone our way merrily doing what we think is best for who we are; we are what we are, and no matter what others say, we stand on what we think we can do, say, believe, whatever moves the human that we are...

The author has all these questions, and the answers are really out there; the only thing we are doing is that we are just looking and asking; not doing at all...so to the author, for what you have written, I would like you to have 195 GPs...

In life, we all have come to believe that when we pass away, we are able to see what happens to the loved ones we leave. And with this short story, the author seems to believe on that idea of seeing himself and guiding the only person he loved and left behind, to be strong... It is a matter of belief, after all... Interesting, indeed...

To the author of "What You Scatter", here's to you and the good deeds you wrote about. Indeed, there are times when we pause at all the busy days we go through, remember the good things we see exhibited by "young people", and the many good hearts of the elderly... You have caught the very nature of people; human beings who are true to their humanity; and more people who have the heart to understand the plight of those who are needy...Here's hoping to read more of your work as you continue with your writing; and for that, how about 170 GPs for your good effort?

All good wishes,

To the author of "A Binary Star": you wrote it quite nicely, with words that are simple and descriptive. Writing a poem takes a lot of hard thinking, and as you have written it, seems to me, a nice and simple way about hope... for your writing, how about 100 GPs for your effort?

Quite an unusual way to remember someone: a handkerchief. This short piece from the author does tell a reader the depth of love that one has to a departed Grandma. There is the search for something that would be most appropriate for remembering; and to choose a handkerchief is not at all unusual. It just shows that the granddaughter wanted her Grandma with her throughout her life...

To the author, you do write well; do continue to write more...and for that, here are 130 GPs for the entertainment...

To the author of "A Blossoming Flower", your piece is quite interesting. You have written about flowers that are fragrant, loving, kind...things that readers would interpret as the beauty of a "write". Well done, and may all your writing continue to be absorbed by readers...

How about 255 GPs for your effort?

This short story sends a message to people who read it. Just like Mr. Voelker, who was either a cynic or someone whose life has not experienced the love of a brother... It is rather sad that there are people like Voelker whose heart and mind are focused on "hatred", on anger that seems to keep them without a heart... Thank you to the author of the story; do continue to let us read more of goodness and love...

How about 200GPs for you?
