Short Story / OPHELIA: a mother's tale
Version 1
15 Reviews   14 Comments
I have never seen a child die. I have seen young men die, but never a child. A mother’s baby. This whirled through my mind while at my desk reading a romance novel. It belonged to a mother whose only daughter lay dying of brain cancer in a Memphis hospital. I could not concentrate on this frivolous romance book. I placed it on the floor next to a box near my feet. This box and all its contents belonged to the young mother, Ophelia. From out of the box, I picked a book of poems by Maya Angelo...

Non-fiction / The Long Ride Home or (A Bikers Ode to a Busted Ass)
by BFTD540
Yeah. I know where you are coming from. When I was in the Air Force, I started by owning a motorbike that could do about MPH. Next, I got a real motorcycle. After I got out of the Air Force, I bought a German bike; could not perform with the new Hondas, even after I highly modified it. So, I got the latest machine to hit the road at the time; the Yamaha Big Bear Scrambler. I would quick-disconnect the headlight off, and take the baffles out of the exhaust pipes, then compete in local hill cli...
Short Story / No Gift to Bring
by flaxeloquent
The first sentence of your story reached right out and grabbed me by the shirt and said, "Read this and enjoy." And since I have a tendency to do what I am told when I am grabbed, I read. I liked the way you used the little drummer boy theme throughout your piece, modifying it while doing so. You put the whole thing together nicely. Well done. However, there are a few things that seem to me you should redo. However, you are the writer and know what you want better than I do. Therefore, you ar...
Short Story / Abandoned Love
by darkdescent
A very shocking creepy horrific humorous romance. Romance? Sure. You say you are making love and talking happy sappy stuff. Humorous? I see the irony of your last sentences. Horrific? Of course. This is a very scary yarn you have here. Creepy? I can see the crawly little beasties surrounding you as you love your dear one. Shocking? You bet. I thought I was going to read some sort of Harlequin romance, but no. You had to shock me out of my socks with the opening of your second paragraph. Well ...
Short Story / "The Stone!"
by Raggnarok
First let me say I am a beginning writer. Therefore, please take what I say with a grain of salt. That said, you paint a nice picture. Your use of words in describing what you see and think are very well done. This leads me to a puzzle. I do not understand how you formatted your piece. In many places there is just one sentence to a line; something like poetry. Does this mean you have some sort of subtle meaning, like poetry does? If so, does this explain some of your sentences that are not co...
