Greetings, Johnny, and thank you for requesting a review. I really enjoyed this. I can see you put a good bit of thought into the three things Samson chose to take with him, and it looks like it would make not only a great flash fiction but also the introduction to an exciting series or longer story. Now, the first thing I noticed is your title… I think the word “emergency” is misspelled. Second, I noticed you used at least three different words to identify Samson’s mom: “mums,” “mama,” and “mother.” Also, in the second paragraph she’s named Amber and in the next one she’s Samantha. Is the “mama” his grandmother? I know people use a ton of different pet names for their grannies, and it gets confusing sometimes, “Nana” and “Nona” and “gran-gran” and all that. You need to specify who she is exactly. Third, I didn’t quite catch what exactly the “hiking and hunting trips” were for if not for “hiking and hunting…” how exactly did Samson’s father misunderstand the purpose of them? I should think a sturdy knife would always be a good idea out in the wilderness (not that the Welsh wilderness is as threatening as the American version, I’m sure ![]() Aside from that, this was well written and an excellent little read. Take care, thanks for sharing, and keep writing ![]() ![]() ![]()
