OVERALL IMPRESSIONS:
Wow this is a bit of a tear jerker. A story taken from the perspective of the dying person. I do understand that there is a point in death where one accepts that inevitable step but it has never been so obvious as it is in this story.
PLOT & CHARACTERS:
We must surmise who is coming to see the dying man. Is this God or some form of death messenger? The story obviously shows the writer as a believer in an afterlife experience.
SUGGESTIONS/EDITS:
I don't think I would change much in this story other than to clarify the who and where.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Good story. Keep writing. I hope you enjoy your WDC anniversary.

there are basically two characters. Kyle is the male and female is not identified by name and she is the narrator of the story. This is mostly a reporting of events but there is room for some emotional dealing between the couple but the story does not follow that up.

Identify the female characters and get into their emotions before driving and perhaps also after just missing the deer.

A poem that I don't feel I have the right to comment on. What i did feel in the reading and re-reading of the poem was the sense of comradeship you must feel for those you served with.

A difficult time for brave men and women who served in difficult situations with sometimes confusing political situations. Rules of engagement caused strife and loss of friends.

OVERALL IMPRESSIONS:
A romantic episode with college age foursome. Two are already sexually active and the other too are not They go to a cabin in the Pocono's to share a two week vacation.
PLOT & CHARACTERS:
Peter and Kate are planning from the beginning to sleep together which puts Jill (who is a virgin) with Luke.. I think the character development was done quite well and the sexual action was kept to a restrained amount. The story did meet the requirements of the prompt.
SUGGESTIONS/EDITS:
I thought that the introduction of Tat Tanya and Oberon just confused the story.

This also could be entitled a tale of two kitchens. Very different kitchens.
PLOT & CHARACTERS:
in the description of the two I tend to favout the second. Cleanliness is fine but kitchens are for food.
First and foremost, thank you for sharing your work . I am not an expert reviewer. I am just another writer, but I know it is the reviews that help us to perfect our craft. My opinions are just that; my opinions.
OVERALL IMPRESSIONS:
A good story and not sure quite what was going to happen It was easy to follow except about the movement of the head vampire. he moved to a chair which was on either side of the couple.
PLOT & CHARACTERS:
I wasn't sure if these were actual vampires or just bikers playing the vampire image. Either way the witch, Lana took care of matters.
SUGGESTIONS/EDITS:
I don't think the title quite fits the story.

Keep writing and I hope you enjoyed your WDC anniversary.

OVERALL IMPRESSIONS:
I once wrote a poem about the masks we wear. Like you I was hiding my true self from the world around me. I thought I became quite good at it. But thankfully caring people saw through my disguises and loved me in a way I need to be loved. I came to realize that I was manic depressive or what is know today as bi-polar. If this is you please seek help of at least a friend or loved one.
PLOT & CHARACTERS:
Your expressions show the pain you feel and yet there is also hope that this depression is not all the time. I lived like that fro many years and until I broke, Now with friends and medications i live a good life with out the anger, pain and hurt. Your poem is great because it expresses how you feel.
SUGGESTIONS/EDITS:
Use a larger font and perhaps center your poem. Share your poem with those who care for you.

It's a good piece of work. I hope you write more. Please enjoy your WDC anniversary.

OVERALL IMPRESSIONS:
Great little story that runs a chill down the spine. I like how you built up the suspense in little pieces making the woman seem more frightening.
PLOT & CHARACTERS:
Good plot. Being watched. I enjoyed that you gave a little more description of the watcher with each occurrence.
SUGGESTIONS/EDITS:
Fill out the story Be more descriptive of the times you see the watcher.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Keep writing great stories like this. I hope you enjoyed your WDC anniversary.
First and foremost, thank you for sharing your work . I am not an expert reviewer. I am just another writer, but I know it is the reviews that help us to perfect our craft. My opinions are just that; my opinions. I am doing this review as my commitment to the I write project.
OVERALL IMPRESSIONS:
A little story that is a way depicts a mother's love. The boy thinks the box has been doubling his money. The truth is his mother has been putting the extra money in the box.
PLOT & CHARACTERS:
Teddy and his mother. There is not a lot of description of the two but of course this is flash fiction. I think some words could have been used in character description rather than telling what was under the bed.
SUGGESTIONS/EDITS:
No suggestions. Just encouragement to keep writing.
First and foremost, thank you for sharing your work . I am not an expert reviewer. I am just another writer, but I know it is the reviews that help us to perfect our craft. My opinions are just that; my opinions.
OVERALL IMPRESSIONS:
I read this portion of your continuing blog which is a Halloween style treatment of the monsters from fiction and the movies in a much lighter and almost comical situation. it is interesting but not it does not have a lot of depth I think it was interesting that you got al the fictional monsters in one place.
PLOT & CHARACTERS:
These characters are all male characters. Aren't there some female monsters you could find for them to dance with (Thing, Bride of Frankenstein, The Creature from the Black Lagoon). You don't really develop the characters but I guess that is not required.
SUGGESTIONS/EDITS:
In the fifth paragraph you wrote " pointed to the witch's had" should be hat.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Enjoy your blogging and exploration of the haunted house. Keep writing.
