Welcome to Writing.Com! I'm reviewing your recent entry that I found at the "The Writer's Cramp" . I enjoyed reading your story! It tells an emotional story about an elderly gentleman on a train, and he's thinking of the past. I liked how the emotional thread carried on right through it all, and you painted a nice visual with your descriptions.  I liked that it jumped into the scene quick at the beginning. It helped a lot in getting to know the main character fast. As far as any feedback, there were a couple of things that slowed the reading down. I did have to read it a couple of times to get it into my head. Lol! It's mostly in the first paragraph, but it's the way the sentences were strung a long, and it could be just me who thinks it slows down. Here's an example: ...the day before she [passed. Wished] she...  It's almost like a word is missing or not a complete thought to start the sentence. There's also a typo here: ...set off the dynomite... Should be dynamite. Overall, a touching story to read! About halfway, I thought that something might happen to the elderly gentleman. I enjoyed the descriptions of what he saw as the train drove by and it would bring the memories back of his wife. I thought this line sounded so poetic A grove of Aspens up ahead glittered a brilliant gold in the fall sun. There were a few of these descriptions which gave a wonderful visual of the scene. It was a beautiful last line to finish it off with the title. Nicely done!  Lornda My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
