       The Scarecrow’s face looked as though it had been put through a thresher: “Now you know the real reason I have summoned you both here. This creature is known as an Eek-onomy.        “Perhaps you noticed the yellow hue of the bricks we traversed? Most people believe this road is made of gold, but it is not. Since seizing power over Oz, I have learned the bricks are fashioned from pyrite – or fool’s...

       The day we arrived home from the hospital with our son was a dream come true. Genetically engineered to have both enhanced beauty and increased intelligence, Max was a joy to behold. For years we enjoyed his presence, watching as he excelled both athletically and academically. The awards and accolades created an avalanche of pride that poured from our fireplace mantel.        That was before new genetic modifications became av...

Flash Fiction / Bio-soldiers
Version 1
10 Reviews   6 Comments
       My squad leader’s voice crackles in my ear: “…bio-soldiers on the move.”        Positioned in a third story room of the library, I wait. Suddenly, the door explodes from its hinges, a female figure emerging from the smoke. I hesitate, as what was once my wife enters the room--the same sinuous legs and full bosom, but the soulless eyes give her away. Steadying my rifle on my hip, its cadmium-plated sto...

Brilliant new title; much better than version one. As with version one, you still have 101 words here: "snacks/childcare" is two words, but your word processor must be counting them as one. I'm still not convinced you even need this line -- especially if the board is already too small for the minister to spell out "BDSM." "...struck with an idea: mixers!" <- Give the colon some LOVE, baby! :p Along with the title, it is good to see that you allude to the sadomasochistic joke by giving us s...

Flash Fiction / Mixer
Quite funny, you naughty little girl! And you say this was derived from a true story!? Even funnier! The main problem seems to be clarity; the joke seems to be going over too many reader's heads. This is understandable since neither the title, nor the main text, hints at the joke. Perhaps use a title that points to the religious context and the underlying humor: Bound for Glory? Also, try to work words into the text that give the reader a hint about the story's true nature: The minister tried...

Short Story / A Silent Boy
Interesting first sentence. It truly made me think: "What would I picture when it comes to the idea of a quiet person?" "Well, this person..." This is a bit ambiguous. Perhaps, "The person I am thinking of..." Separate this sentence from the next using a semicolon (;), since both sentences deal with the same subject, as follows: "...the absolute opposite; he is the most gorgeous..." I would recommend a different word in place of "somebody" and suggest not pluralizing "class." Perhaps replace ...
This takes place in Austin (I assume Texas), and lines 3 and 4 do a great job of painting a picture of a modern western city. Concrete canyons, steel peaks, and asphalt plains make me think of city streets running between skyscrapers, and of large parking lots, while hearkening back to the old west. This continues nicely with card key dens and wrought iron lairs. Lines 5 and 6: I would reword L5 to read "where dog eats dog" and remove L6. L6 seems unnecessary, and the repeated pluralization o...
