I love it! It's a very cute little piece of flash fiction that I think wouldn't be put of place in a children's collection. However, you might want to pay attention to your tenses, because your story seems to veer between past, past participle, and present tense.

'These sentences are incomplete: 'Trying to show me it would all be okay. That there was nothing to worry about.' You might want to incorporate them into a single sentence, or add a subject to the sentences.

Otherwise, good job at building tension and engaging the reader!

Review of That's you  Open in new Window.

It's a great poem! One doesn't normally see rhyming poetry very much these days, and those who do attempt it frequently make it sound cheesy or otherwise clunky and unappealing. But you make it work, more or less, in this instance. Pay attention to punctuation - 'Times hands' should have an apostrophe in there somewhere, I think. A few commas between phrases such as 'I can't contain myself[,] I really want to scream' - would work better in preserving the fidelity of the poem. Otherwise good job.

Review of The Sound  Open in new Window.
Review by wristswings Author IconMail Icon
Rated: 13+ | (4.0)
Excellent story! It was sufficiently engaging, and I was invested in the protagonist enough to get progressively frustrated with the things you put him through. Good job! However, I feel that his relationship with the other characters, such as Beth and Ricky, and even his landlady, could have been further explored. Great dialogue and characterisation, though. Thank you for the read!

Review of Frozen  Open in new Window.

This is a sweet little haiku, and has an underlying meaning of hope and promise to it. I like the contrast between the frozen grass and the promising sun! perhaps 'peeks out to shine down' could be reworded to make it more nimble. good attempt otherwise!

Review of Elsewhere  Open in new Window.

Rated: E | (3.5)
For a new attempt at fantasy, I like it very much! This piece of flash fiction - if that's what you were aiming for - is whimsical and does communicate the sense of tranquility that I think you were going for. The calm before the storm, perhaps?

However, as this is a short piece, the writing is quite linear and there's not much happening, plot-wise. Perhaps you could think about putting us into the thick of the action, as this reads like an introduction to a longer piece, which it very well may be. Otherwise, good attempt! I hope to see you flexing those imaginative muscles in the future!
