Review of Silence Please.  
Review by elephantsealer
In affiliation with SENIOR CENTER GROUP  
Rated: E | (3.5)
"Silence Please" is a great presentation of how precious it is to have silence!!! Sometimes there are people who are just not aware that the library is a place of silence. It is indeed unfortunate there are people who are just plain stupid who think listening to a tape of loud music is a bother. I actually congratulate the library person for sending the guy out...

What a very good presentation...

Review of Battle of Life  
Review by elephantsealer
In affiliation with SENIOR CENTER GROUP  
Rated: E | (3.5)
The short tale, "Battle of Life" is a very good example of what real life is: a mother who supports a son, who also works at odd jobs; as well as a man who suffers from throat cancer. These are real stories; actual events that happen every day in life. We wonder why there must be events like these; people who are brave and loving; people who are the true children of God.

To the writer, I admire your story and your question: "... how do you define courage?" I, for one, would define courage as the great love, the human kindness and and the strong affection that God has given to a human. All good wishes...

"Life, Camera - Action!" is a short tale of a father who shares his happy life with his young daughter. Furthermore, he did find a way to treat his daughter well by reading a teen magazine. This story is indeed a very good example about a good relationship between a father and his daughter, and how a parent is able to learn more about and how to treat his daughter better... A good example of fatherhood...

What an interesting short tale, "If You're Interested...WC 218", is. Are we to understand that a mother did actually refuse to listen to her son's reason for being late; and the realization she was wrong not to listen to her son? It really is a good point that the author did emphasize the mother's mistake...

This little story should be a lesson to all mothers...

Review of Guide Letter  
Review by elephantsealer

Rated: E | (3.5)
The "Guide Letter" is an example of the letter writer's appreciation and gratitude for the guidance and mentorship of one "good man and smart executive". "Jeff" writes and expresses how much his friend's grooming has turned him into a professional executive.

It is seldom we read about people appreciating the many goodness given to them by others; and this letter shows how gracious and wonderful it is to express one's gratitude to another.

Review of The Fading Shadow  
Review by elephantsealer

Rated: E | (3.5)
As I reviewed "The Fading Shadow", I felt the awesome loneliness of a child who no longer has a shadow "because I never leave my bed." However, the child gets to "feel really happy" because she gets told she is "fading away to a shadow"...

This short tale is a product of a writer's thoughts; ideas that gave the writer a feeling of satisfaction because no matter how alone we feel as we write, we know there are others who would read what we have written.

The sad tale of "Writer's Block" reminded me of the many mistakes women happen to lose amounts of money to defrauders. As in this tale, women become enamored with a man who they thought to be good and respectable. The saving grace for "Tracy" is her daughter who found out who the man was. And for "Tracy", it was back to a renewed stamina to write... The wickedness of fate is turned into a renewed "sense of purpose" as "Tracy" found a way to get over the blockage....

"Reality Check on Death and Life" brings us face to face with the reality of death. It reminds us that death is real, a part of life, a sensible understanding of death among us, even as we live and love and create our own happiness. It is a part and parcel of life... Somehow, we tend to believe that death is in us, even without reading and understanding this short piece of writing...

"A Boy and His Jacket" is a beautiful tale of youth, of dreams, of a belief in something out of the ordinary. Boys and girls do dream and sometimes they learn to believe in something much like a "friendship" that brings them joy and comfort. It is something believable when a young mind does create an extra-ordinary "friendship" with a piece of clothing... And so in learning something out of the ordinary, we begin to wrap ourselves in such wonderment because it gives us passionate feelings...

As I reviewed "Love and Lifestyle Change Lives", I remember well when my daughter found out she had breast cancer. She reacted well because she took her doctor's suggestion: get rid of it NOW. She not only reacted well, she took out the other breast as well, just in case it may one day become cancerous, too. It has been years now, and my daughter is very happy she took her doctor's suggestion; because now my daughter is completely free of the cancer. It was a good decision because now she and her husband are much more close to each other.

Cancer is a very nasty piece of illness when it invades one's body. It kills; it is painful; it is devastating to the body; it is not a sickness that offers anything but pain and suffering. So, to those who decide to forego surgery, I would suggest that they should should be prepared to suffer, and I mean, SUFFER THE INDIGNITY OF PAIN... However, I hope the woman in this tale knows what her life would be as she foregoes surgery...

Wow, what a story!!! A winter coat and a boy. It is wild story, yes, as well as an interpretation of what imagination can bring about. Secrets of wild rides, of a unique bond between a boy and a winter coat, and of keeping secrets between a boy and a coat. Unbelievable, you say? Indeed, yes; however, the written piece of work, "Boy vs His Sister's Coat" reveals to us the "...bond between a boy and his sister's magical winter coat..." led us to believe that the whole thing did "lst a lifetime."

Such a bright and good example of a short story...

Review of User-Friendly  
Review by elephantsealer

Rated: ASR | (3.5)
"User Friendly" is a short tale of how one human showed a kindness to another, even as the "another" was a robot. Here is a story of how some humans took their humanness out of being a breathing and kindly humanity. This tale shows the line of goodness, mercy and kindness cut off by the inhumanness of people... What a catastrophe... Hurray for the writer to show the differences between questionable "humans" and the "real humans"...

The point of the story, "On the Way to Blimpie's WC 300" is about a girl's lies when she applied for her present job as well as hoping for the person she told her lies to would not reveal the lies to the employer. It is rather ungracious and totally selfish for the liar that her lies would not be revealed...

Review of Bad diet  
Review by elephantsealer
In affiliation with SENIOR CENTER GROUP  
Rated: 18+ | (3.5)
Reading "Bad Diet" gave me a chill. The tale tells of a girl who tries to lose weight upon becoming smitten with love when she gets friendly with the new guy. They go on a date during which she feels unwell upon which they leave the bar. The last thing she remembers is a taxi ride. She awakes out of her deep sleep, and realizes she is tied to the bed. Her date finally appears with "teeth had grown razor sharp, saliva dripped from his elongated jaw" and smelled like "rancid meat". The transformation of her date as a wolf-like creature horrified her. How does a girl gets out of a situation as gruesome as a ripped out throat?

Ugh... this really is a tale that should teach any girl to be more careful when going on a date... This is quite a tale...

Review of Dangerous Vision

When the idea of a set designer becomes much too expensive and a danger to the lives of actors, it is indeed time to get rid of a designer, who in the long run, may cause millions to the director and possibly to the people who are responsible for the safety of a production company's plan for a movie. A short and quite a believable tale...

"A Very Good Day" is a fun tale about a boy, whose mother had to go to work. The fun part of the tale tells of "Sandy", the girl who became the boy's day-caring companion. "Sandy" seems to know how to get "Alex" be more happy for finding himself home with a day-care girl. She was a wise girl to make matters enjoyable for a frustrated boy... A really fine short tale of responsibility and understanding...

Review of Morning  
Review by elephantsealer
In affiliation with SENIOR CENTER GROUP  
Rated: E | (3.5)
"Morning" is a sad tale about a woman, alone on Christmas day. "She was cold and stiff now, but she was still smiling." What a contrast: Christmas and loneliness. It is sad to think that perhaps there are more people who are alone on holidays, like Christmas. Although the focus on a woman alone while others in her street were celebrating with families. It is truly something that does happen: aloneness because part of one's family has "moved on", as the saying goes. However, although she was "cold and stiff now, but she was still smiling" because she must have known that she was soon to "join" her family.

The author of "Love: An Illusion" questions: "Does love exist?" The writer further adds that love is shared between two people; that people should share love with someone, laugh with someone and make "fun of each other". We do question once in a while whether or not love exists. In this short piece of writing, the author hopes "to find someone..." who will share love with someone in life, that "laughing with them about silly things, and making fun of each other" is love. It is indeed a great idea, that love is "beautiful between two peole..."

I was amused reviewing "God Created Witches Too, 2", that tells of two witches in a family. Why in heaven's name would the second witch, the baby, mess things up for the father? An inkling of a doubt came up when the father hinted that maybe he was not the baby's father? What an interesting turn of events...

What an interesting little tale, "Bad Friend". As has been said and repeated, the need to excel is one of human's frailities. There is that need to be better, to know more, to excel much more, to be better. Is there a sense to it? Obviously?

Review of First meeting.  
Review by elephantsealer
In affiliation with SENIOR CENTER GROUP  
Rated: E | (3.5)
Why is "First Meeting" interesting to review? Because here are two individuals who "found" each other, in the middle of their idea of finding a life-time partner. As per the first part of this tale, we learn of the man's reaction to the woman he was meeting. We learn of his positive reaction to the woman he agreed to meet with; and that his feelings were much more positive. However, in the second part of the tale, we find the woman was a tiny bit critical of the person she met. Do we, therefore, make a conclusion that the man was less crsitical of the woman he arranged to meet; whereas the woman concluded that the man she agreed to meet wears a "topee"; and that even before she met with the person, that she had decided that the man was not worth and up to her standard. Do we see here the big difference between two individuals?

Review of I Hate Her!  
Review by elephantsealer

In "I Hate Her!", I wonder why "Carley" changed her attitude towards "Lisa"? Is it because "Lisa" was "really smart", and was going to help her with math?

This is a short story of one person's attitude towards another. Then the attitude changes and it seems "fair" after all. Why? The ending answers it: "Yeah, well. And Lisa's really smart too and will help me with math and..." It seems obvious...

"Judging People" is something that should never enter in the thoughts and minds of others. Yes,we,humans, seem to be quite free with our judgements. I believe it is wrong to judge; howeverr, it is not wrong to first look at oneself before one commits the mistake/error of passing whatever reason there is in one's thought about another's decision... To the author, I am glad to review your short work...

Review of Treasure  
Review by elephantsealer

Rated: E | (3.5)
In "Treasure", we meet Sarah who felt terribly sad as a result of her parents' separation as well as her dread of what the "quaint seaside town" would mean to her. However, her sadness seemed to have been diverted by a lone man in a dinghy being tossed about in a rough sea. She sought the help of men who saved the man in trouble. Her quick action in saving the man in the dinghy seemed to have turned her sadness, giving her hope to join "young lifesavers".

This tale is a worthy lesson to children who are affected by their parents' parting, and the resulting move to a place that would make them feel lost and alone as well as dread a new school.
