Ah ha! I read you again.

This review is for the round of May 5th through May 12th of the 120.

Cute idea. It reminds of the TV show Night Gallery, those short-shorts they would do.

The same hokey movie monster jumped out and ate them both.

It said, “Hah, laugh at my movies, will you?” It licked its teeth and slipped back into the shadows.{/b]

I think this would read better if they were combined.

I do love florist shops, they cool, smell wonderful, and of course the flowers.

He thought he would die for that smile.

He was the last customer of the day.


See the lump of of "he's" . . . I'd try are work them out.


Consider,

He thought, {i]' I'd die for that smile.'

The florist turned the sign after he entered, he was the last customer of the day.


She said, “I’m leaving you.”
He asked, “Why?”
She stated simply, “I love Marvin.”


I think above this you should have had ***

I also feel that you should use her name instead of "she".

He also could used a name used earlier.


then Cindy smiled and dropped a blood red rose on his still chest as they walked away.

I thought this was very nice.

WE met again...

Again this for the 120 round of May 5th to May 12th.

The prompt is "rug".

Great title.

I think over all there are places you should easily cut some words and used them for her reaction to her surprise.

I am glad to see you try so many. That is always nice to see.

Review of Pretty Skin

Hello,

And thank you for taking part in the May 5th through May 12th of the 120.

This goes under the "skin" prompt.

He watched her as her large frightened eyes followed him above the gag he had covered her screams with.

I think anytime you use a word more than once in any sentence, you should consider reworking it.

He watched her large frightened eyes follow him.

Above the gag, her large frightened eyes...

I really liked much of what you have written in the past but this one seems to me not like your best.

Oh well, one small flash.

Hello,

This is your second read for the 120 in the round of May 5th to May 13th.

This goes underneath the category of "skin" prompt.

I think this is nicely written and that is of course makes the tale worth the read.

Hello,

This is the second reading for May 6th - May 13th of the 120.

Thanks for work and the read.

Both words in your title need to be capitalized.

Where, oh bloody where it is? I rummage through the cellar, weakening with every moment while the green demons suck the life out of me. Ah, finally! Gotcha!

I think this should appear as,

Review of Black Wind

Hello,

Thank you for taking part in the 120. I hope YOU do so again!

Some how to me this has an air of New Orleans to it although I can say for sure why.

I huddled in the comfort of Mother's bosom and tried to block out the hungry wind and Father's voice.

I think you should switch out "huddled" here. In flash you must be-careful to what words you repeat.

Other than that, a fine read.

I did read this right after you were so kind as to place it in my contest.

I have to tell you this well written.

It is wonderful that you doing more than one and I hope that you keep it up.

Although it is clear that you are good writer, you should know that the dragon has been on skin a lot. So is lady. So looke for something else. Keep the tatoo but reach for something else.

“Damn, the lights!” I jump, then find a candle, lighting it I trip over the cat as she hops through her flap carrying something..

Double period.


“What do you have, kitty?” I ask, trying to distract myself from the relentless booms shaking my sanity.

On this line I mix it up and find another word for "booms".


This one is very nicely written.

Review of Pollen Count  
Review by AliceNgoreland
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)

Gee Wiz that is quick. I saw this last night but I did not have the time to read it.

You may wish to also list this a Sci-fi.

The first couple of lines remind of when we were up in Washington State, and Mt. St. Helen blew. It rained ashes for weeks and even though we were hundred miles away we could go out to our cars and scrap ash off like snow.




Pollen. It’s what makes plants reproduce. It’s plant semen.
It is a nasty yellow dust that covers everything in yellow haze and gets into your sinuses and makes you sneeze and miserable, and bees eat it.


Consider,

Pollen-- It's what makes plants reproduce, plant semen. A nasty dust that covers everything in yellow haze and gets into your sinuses and makes you sneeze and miserable, and bees eat it.





Sometimes I feel like I am on deathwatch. I worry so each time they get in the car a drive to work. 'Will there be a horrible car crash?' I wish I did not worry but I do.

Although this is kind of out there, you made me feel really connected to the story. You balanced the far-out factor with the everyday. You hit that chord right on.

COOL TITLE!

You capitalize both words in it.


Then one night corpse dug itself out of the grave and walked in my room, almost tore my throat.

I think you skipped some words and a comma.

Okay here is what I think would really make shine.

I wonder if you get one in or not. Boy, you really are cutting it close to the cut-off.


The spinsters thought it a wonderful day to end a Sunday evening, getting ready for the week ahead and the surprises that it might hold.


I am sure you mean "way" instead of "day".






The calls stopped only after they moved house.

I think . . . you may have skipped a word here.



“Sorry Bec, I don’t”

I think you forgot your period.



I am sure this one will place too.


I really liked when the creatures came out.

Bed bugs. Ha!


Great closing. I hate you.

Review of Life Flows On  
Review by AliceNgoreland
Rated: E | (4.0)
Hello {c:January Williams,

Welcome to WDC.

Good use of color, bold and formatting.

I feel you are going to use punctuation on some of the lines; you should use it on all.




rolling, barreling straight foward... such an adrenaline rush


forward...





Because I am just flowing with life.

I would cut the word "just". I think it would have great impact on it and as a last line it should be very strong.


Nicely done.
