Hello, "NAOMI", yes, of course, I would like to know you more... then you and I can be friends... Short and to the point is enough to convey a thought, a feeling, a dream even...

Small tales like, "Oct 16 Minor voice", are great representations of the power of written words. It also makes it clear that writers do have that "sense" of creating stories that are believable. And I surely would like the writer to know that her/his work may become an inspiration to other writers.

Review of Queen of Hearts  Open in new Window.

"Queen of Hearts" relates about a man called Striker, another man called Edwards, and the tale of a man's wife who was killed as a result of Edwards' action. As I reviewed it, I realized the skilled and coldness of the killing of Edwards was swift. There was no remorse. It was done with cold purpose.

The story flowed with the swiftness of a hurricane, without emotions. The writer is a skilled person, aware that this kind of story need to be as cold as it is presented. I am inspired...

Review of My Legacy  Open in new Window.
Review by elephantsealer Author IconMail Icon
In affiliation with SENIOR CENTER GROUP  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (4.0)
"My Legacy" is about a character who writes a letter to an unborn child. The letter becomes a revelation of the character's life, the thoughts that became bothersome, the many incidents that made up the life of the character as well as the many questions in life that beset the character. However, what makes this tale believable is when the character writes: "... I hope my perspective helps you..." and ends up with, "...How you choose to display is what makes you individual."

In the long run, we are what we are, a person of our own making; and the letter is actually a very good advice...

The flash, "Natural Progression", tells of two friends who were killed by a lioness whose two young ones were starving... It is unfortunate indeed; however, it clearly shows the difference between humans and animals. A hungry animal will kill, whereas a starved human would most probably beg for food. This flash story does prove the difference between a human and an animal.

The tale of "Oct 25 Plot Background Story" tells of Nicky, the "goodhearted private investigator", and Jean, the woman Nicky did once loved; and the unfortunate ending of their relationship. Although some relationships start well between two individuals, there comes a time when one (or the other) realizes there is no sense in continuing the relationship... In the beginning, there was a threat to the safety of the investigator, who, however, made it plain that he had ways of conducting himself safely...

In my review, I realized that the story reveals Jean's weakness when she used two other men to confront the investigator...

As I reviewed "At Any Time", I got the feeling that the family described here were once together until circumstances, perhaps such as jobs and marriages, separated them from each other. Nevertheless, there is one member of a family who decided to make the visits to a very sick brother... In a way, this is a typical family with as much drama as any other; however, as it is widely known, there is "hope" through a sister's decision to visit a brother.

In reviewing the "An Unfinished Rehearsal", I came to realize of the patience Mr. Harrison displayed when on arrival at the school rehearsal, "only seventeen members of the 150 member orchestra" were present; a disturbance of "something had fallen or been dropped" caused a stoppage, followed by lights that dimmed and bulbs that were blown; and finally a "high man's laugh echoed mockingly through the auditorium", as the laughter followed "them all the way out".

I know I have heard that PATIENCE is a VIRTUE... quite a way to show it through this short tale...

Review of Not To Worry  Open in new Window.

"Not To Worry" tells us about "Ana" who rang "Lorna" because she worries about "Donny" who has not come home as yet. Although "Lorna" tried not to worry, even as she went about in the house, it became clear that "Ana's" worry affected Lorna as well.

A review of this short tale reminded me how easy it is to get terribly upset when a member of a family does not not come home; that all one needs to do actually is trust each other...

To the surprise of the birthday girl in the "Birthday Surprize", we learn about a child who is the daughter of the celebrant. It was a terrible way for anyone to present a surprise; it was cruel, selfish and mean for any one to do. Obviously, in this piece of work, we are given the chance to understand the whole meaning of this cruelty of one person to another...

Hurrah for the writer, for showing the meaning of writing; and that is, the hatred that lies underneath the mother-in-law's presentation of a gift to the celebrant...

The joy and hapopiness of Jack as he celebrates his birthday on Halloween is reflected on the words of this piece of work, "Jack's Birthday". It is a happy write, and a writer's work that reflects the joy and happiness of the boy whose birthday happens to be the same day as Halloween!!!!

What an inspiration...

The frustration of a character in the piece of work, "Passing on the Mantle of Shame", is quite evident as it shows clearly at the end that said: ".....we're done carrying it."

I reviewed the work because I realize that as writers we bring our thoughts and ideas into our work; and sometimes our work (as this piece of writing has done) may or would give other writers ideas and thoughts of their own that can be written in order to continue to give inspiration to other writers...

Thank you to the writer for this work...

Review of Altered Reality  Open in new Window.

Rated: E | (3.5)
The flash, "Altered Reality", is a short tale of a character who puzzled about a box; and when it was unwrapped, it emitted green light that sweeps the character "away into another dimension"... The character appears to have accepted being a "Quarantined Queen of everything."

I have a question though. Part of the third paragraph that starts with "I travel on the green light" ... there is this piece that puzzled me: "I can breathe is my thought as a red sun ..."

Tell me more, please...

"Get Lost" tells of the many ways the character in this piece of writing has learned and is learning how to become as perfect as the teachings of his "Lord" as well as the faith he experiences, which he considers "fine and beautiful gift"... It is an interesting point to consider for writers...

"How I Got My Gift for Public Speaking" represents the many ways a person learns to be "perfect" in what she/he wants to be and to do... It is indeed a good example how writers learn to perfect their writing: keep learning, read a lot, do more writing, and many, many more interesting ideas that would hone someone to be good (or maybe PERFECT) in what she/he wants to do...An interesting tale indeed; and an example how to do good/well...

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...

Rated: 13+ | (4.0)
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 was a fun review...

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...

"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...

Review of Who Was He?  Open in new Window.
Review by elephantsealer Author IconMail Icon

Rated: E | (4.0)
"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...
