I'll give a quick summary of your item. Afterwards, I'll talk about your characters, any Spelling or Grammar issues, and perhaps suggest some things, like adding the item to a Genre that it would fit into.
I'm good at...
Speed Reading/reviewing- 1000 word story won't even take me five minutes to read, and you'll get a review within 10 minutes of me reading it. As it is, my reviews are usually around 300 Characters- minus my Review Sig. However, sometimes they'll reach the 1,000 Character mark. Depends on the Story/item. *Bigsmile*
Favorite Genres
Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Animal
Least Favorite Genres
Can't think of any I don't like.
Favorite Item Types
I like them all.
Least Favorite Item Types
I've yet to not like any item types. Of course, images can be tricky- hard to correct Spelling and Grammar on those. *Bigsmile*
I will not review...
Interactives that don't have an actual story started - Give me some meat to eat there before you ask me to look at it, with at least one thread being at least 10 chapters long, and not just choices that aren't even developed, preferably written by your own hand. Books - well, not through a Review Request page anyways, as I'd would have to review the book itself and not the Chapter, in order to get paid, but I will review them if you ask me in an email. Anything that doesn't allow reviews. *Bigsmile*

An interesting piece to read. What is freedom? To some, it's the ability to do what we want. To others, it's an illusion. There's all kinds of ways to describe it. Perhaps Freedom is more of a goal - a freedom to not worry about things that bother us. That is a possibility to think on. There is always a type of freedom out there.

Review of I Love The Rain  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (4.5)
Ah, the rain - an item that is needed for plants to grow, streams to flow, and water to drink. Love it, or hate it, it is a necessity to life, or things might dry up. The sound of rain upon a roof can produce a type of music of sorts - the song could be nice, or it could be a nuisance. It's all a matter of opinion, of if you enjoy it or not.

Thoughts
A cute piece to read.

Spelling and Grammar
The word "Sore" refers to like "Sore throat." The one you want is "Soar".

Review of The Lake  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (4.5)
An old man takes a trip to a lake he used to go to when he was younger, in order to enjoy it, one last time.

There are places we like going to, for they hold special meanings. The old place, where you were a child - it was so big back then, now, it is much smaller. The school you went to - that's changed a lot. The old swimming hole you swam at - dried up when the creek's course changed. However, the memories, those tend to stay.

I have to chuckle at this, my friend. I've spent many an afternoon laying in a hammock, watching the clouds roll by, and sometimes napping. Sadly, it has long since been tossed - easily 20 or more years, since my grandmother passed away...... lots of good times with her. Thanks for reminding me of them. Now, to go out and buy a new hammock. Ah, just a hundred and fifty dollars..... can you lend me a twenty?

This is a Review you Requested. Enjoy!

A lawyer from a big city bumps into an old woman, knocking her over. Instead of apologizing, and helping her up, he acts rude to her. Turns out, the old woman is a type of witch, and she places a curse upon the lawyer. Afterwards, whenever he talks about the weather, how something bad might happen, bad things do happen. Floods, Snow storms, wind storms, and more all hit the area. He needs to find a way to undo the curse.

Review of astrophysicist  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (4.0)
Need a bottle or two of soda to read this one. You have someone talking about their dreams, how they always change due to trouble of one sort or another. Can be a little confusing, due to current format, and potentially it's length, but it's still an interesting item to take a look at, and say something about.

Thoughts
An interesting item to read.

Spelling and Grammar
I don't see any issues with spelling or grammar. However, in most poems, the first letter of each line tends to be capitalized, along with the "i"s themselves being capitalized. Now, if this is done as a style or personal choice, disregard this.

Suggestion
Most poems tend to have 4-6 lines in a related group, with a space between groups, to make reading easier.

Summer - a time of heat and hot days. As the temperature rises, so do tempers. Folks often wonder what will happen. Will this Summer be that tipping point towards a Civil War, or will it just be another Summer, where folks cool off at a swimming hole, and enjoy picnics in the shade of a tall tree? One never knows. Oh, look - an ice cream stand. Want some?

Review of The Darkest Sky

A very short piece about how mankind, unexpectedly, finds out that it is not alone in the universe, when extra large space ships show up in the atmosphere. Now humanity wishes that it was alone.

To me, this reads as an introduction to a possible story about an alien invasion. Based on what's mentioned, it's rather clear that the aliens are far from friendly, what with humans not being at the top of the food chain. Is that merely a metaphor, or is that literally true? One might wonder.

Looks like the start of an interesting story.

An interesting piece, about what it means to be a Sailor, most likely in the Navy. While many have different experiences, plenty share the same ones. There is laughter and joy, crying and sadness. There is also the knowledge that, no matter what, they will be Brothers. As the song goes - all give some, and some give all.

Thank you for your service.

A man comes to his work. His car, just on the drivable side. Seems he tried to break up with a girlfriend, but instead of completely cutting her out, he wanted a Friends With Benefits situation. She, apparently, wasn't too keen on this idea, and, being a mechanical engineer, chop up his car, so that, while it can drive, doing so is very annoying, to say the least. Might just have been a bad moment for her though.

Review of Crabapple Tree  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (4.5)
There are days we like to look back on our childhood, and think about those special moments. For me, it's a spot along the creek. My little brother and I would grab some towels, put on the swim shorts, run down there, and play in that cold water on a hot day...... good times. In your case, there was a swimming pool that you liked to visit, and along the way was a crabapple tree, that you loved picking fruit off of. Know the feeling.

Review of PTSD  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (4.5)
This is not an easy poem to read, as it's about emotional abuse from a loved one. The person pretends to be shy, meek, even helpless, but it soon comes clear to the victim, that they are using the other for their own means, and that they are not as helpless as they appear, and thus are setting their victim up to make them completely, and utterly, helpless.

Review of The Last Drive

(I have to chuckle a little bit buddy. It's not necessary to state that this is a work of fiction even though this makes use of the First-Person Point-of-View to tell it.)


A man is driving home, way late at night, or way early in the morning - depending upon how one looks at it. Along the way, they encounter a woman, and decides to give her a lift. However, that's when things take a turn for the strange.

As I read this, I didn't know if I should laugh or cry. The first part, to be honest, is very ugly, to say the least, while the second part, looks as if an Editor of some sort was used to help clean things up. If this is a way of showing off the difference between the rough, versus the clean, I will say, very good. If you honestly have issues writing, like dyslexia, and you used a tool to help you out, I will say that it makes quite the difference. If this is an idea of a joke..... I might have a different idea about what I think. Still, on to the review.

You have a young man, who has had things rough, to the point that they want to end things. They then encounter a cat, who shows them a certain level of kindness. Things then take a turn for the strange when it's revealed that the cat can talk.

Characters
The characters seem interesting.

Spelling and Grammar
As mentioned, the first version is very rough, while the second part is very clean.

Suggestion
It might help to mention why you used ChatGPT - do you have a writing disability, and thus use this as a tool to help clean things up (or used it to demonstrate what it could do), as that can influence how folks might rate this.

Well, this looks like an interesting story tidbit. It's WW2, and a German U-Boat is looking for American convoy ships trying to help resupply England. However, their mission soon changes, when, during a routine attack on a convoy, some strange creature attacks them. Only due to the captain's quick thinking, is the crew able to escape the creature's grasp, managing to surface, only to encounter the vessels escorting the convoy. Raise the white flag.

This looks like the start of an interesting story. Some kids would like to go to the local doughnut store to get some heavily discounted doughnuts. However, the one has noticed that it is starting to rain, in a rather strange way. Things get more strange as they decide to get on their bikes to go for a ride. It is clear that this rain is more than just green.

The sea, she can be a cruel mistress. In this case, a hundred souls have perished, their vessel, now a tomb, is now sunk deep into a watery grave, never to surface again. This happens to plenty that pick the sea as a way of life. Sometimes it happens to one, sometimes to many. One might wonder what happens to the souls of those that have such a fate. One has to think.

People like to think about their mothers. In this case, this person had two - the one that gave birth to them, and the other who adopted them. It seems that the birth mother was too young to be a parent, and the other was willing to give the child a chance. This is something that could be useful out there - to locate those who are willing to take on the roll of being a parent. However, they are not easy to find, due to a number of reasons.

Not a poet? Don't make me laugh (seriously - just got operated on, and it hurts to do so) - you are a poet.

This is one of the poems that folks need to read after they've had a bad day, for it promises that there is an end to one's pain. It might not be today, but tomorrow is always a possibility. We go through a lot of rough times (I would know), but we must hold onto hope, of one sort or another, so that we can indeed get better. Always have hope.

Review of A Day in June

This is a potent poem, especially those who were there, on June 6th, 1944 (although I'm certain that many who have had to do similar things will be able to relate to this sort of moment). A soldier tries to get to his destination, fighting the enemy while a number of his brothers fall. Will he be able to make it, or will he be among those that never see tomorrow? Only time can tell.

Review of Backsliding  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group

Ah, backsliding, and the dangers of turning away from the Lord. It seems that God doesn't like folks who turn their backs on Him, punishing those who do such a sinful thing, for whatever reason. However, what if it's not so much God that folks are turning away from, but rather the Church. Sometimes a Church tries to force folks to do things they don't like, and does highly sinful things, while claiming to be doing the Lord's work. A man might walk away from a Church, only to instead walk along a beautiful nature path, and enjoy the Lord's work, even offering up a quiet prayer, saying, "Lord, thank you for a lovely day."

Ah, childhood memories involving long road trips. Some are really long. Sometimes you can't remember them, or only remember pieces of them. Some last hours, even all day. For some, the question is; why did you travel? Could be to go visit someone you ain't seen in a while, or have never seen. Sometimes, it's simply to say, "Good-bye", one last time. In any case, sometimes the journey is what's important, not the destination.

In many ways, our lives are compared to leaves in the wind. The wind can be gentle, causing good travels, or they can be rough, making the journey risky. As we travel in this manner, in both good and bad, we seek to find our own way, in spite of the wind. Most of the time, we tend to do so. Sometimes though, we are surprised at how the journey has changed us.

Well, this is a cute poem to read. Daffodils are one of the first flowers to bloom in Spring, and tend to be rather hardy - plant them most anywhere, and they will grow and multiply. I enjoy seeing them poke out of the ground, early in the year, every year, since the year after I planted them. Always nice to think of those yellow and white blossoms.

There are times we feel silenced, even for days, or longer. The trick is finding the courage, and strength, to speak up. Sometimes we look to prayer for help, or borrow strength from a friend. Sometimes though, we must find it within ourselves to help us to speak out. An interesting poem.
