I am a physicist by profession but I have a passion for writing. I am a Hungarian-English girl living in Spain studying for my PhD. I am a bit of a Euro gypsy and I grew up between Brighton and Budapest and have been living in Madrid for the last 2 years and before that I lived in Frankfurt.
I am dyslexic and have a confusion with languages (having spent my primary education years in a non-english speaking country) I like to write as a way of overcoming this.

It was the morning after. I stood leaning against my balcony hoping that a cool wind and a cigarette would help me sober up. The sun was already high up in the sky, the market was bustling down below and I was still drunk. I was trying very hard to ignore the sadistic music stand down in the street in front of my house, blaring out the same bloody bachata song which the owner ritually played on loop every Sunday morning. Living centrally has the advantages of being able to stumble home inebr...

I write this because I am desperate. I write because I need some solace. I am afraid that I am losing the will to live and that I will soon be writing my own death. Nobody will know why. Should anyone care to record my life they would simply assume that I, Isolde Raephtys, Queen of the Southern Kingdom simply went insane and took my own life . I feel the need to justify both to myself and to you, the reader. I justify to you that I am sound of mind. I am not sound in my heart and soul. My on...

The first paragraph leaves me confused. It rushes into discussing the characters but it gives me little details, not general ones so I have a hard trouble relating to them. I am having difficulty telling if they are people or even animals - it is not very clear (I thought at first they were cats or something). As it continues I am having serious problem with imagining the setting. Where are they? Who are they? When are they? I feel really lost reading this as I cannot visualise any setting of...
This is rather funny. Like the idea, and it is original and odd. I like it.The dialogue is great and I want to know more about Bob. Ok some technical stuff: “Sir? Are u alright?” - please tell me the u is a typo!! "straitened" - straightened "feases" - faeces. There are quite a few spelling errors. Have a read through it again or show it to someone else to look at at.
I liked the story, it was nice, entertaining and well executed. However this feels more like poem form more than a short story. It reminds me a bit of the old story tellers of old, and I could imagine this with music. It is good and it is clear and standing alone I think it is really good, just it is not really a short story to me.
This was hilarious. I was literally laughing out loud at some of it. Interesting style, but it works. It is clear, easy to read just just really funny! Makes a good humour and satire piece. It is more likely something funny I would pick up on the internet than in a literary magazine but you do have talent and originality.
You have an excellent usage of words and metaphors. The poem is easy to read and I can also pick up a good deal of emotion from it too which helps in poetry. It has a nice form to it and the content is interesting. You definitely have talent here.
