It takes some big cajones to write a story like this. An anti-hero with the animal magnetism of a black hole that teaches astrophysics to wayward teens in his spare time meets his biggest adoring fan, Wonder Woman in heat. The story needs work but has potential. The author's sheer audacity carries it like a barber with a chainsaw. A very good barber. And I'll bet this perfect specimen of a man never said a word about fight club.

Yo Dude, check out The Angst and the Blur -A Tale of Katrina - when ya got time.

They do exist.

A clever little piece of work. It reminded me of J R R Tolkien's earlier stuff, pre-Lord of the Rings. It's nice to escape to a world where problems are solved so easily. Have you read Tree and Leaf? It's an essay by Tolkien on fairy stories. It would be interesting to see your story expanded into something larger. Tell us more about this kingdom. Make it exist.

Clever Little Space Tale

I felt it was a bit too short, like something was missing. But over all, I liked it. Being a reformed drunk myself, I can surely appreciate the value of positive fate. I also liked the reference to Dan Simmons's treeship the Yggsdrasil. The way things turned out for our sauced hero was the clever part; "Why don't people eat the insides and live in them, then?" At first I thought he was gonna get strung-up for some form of heresy. But no; he ends up running the place. Pretty cool! In my younger years, I'm sure I would have tried this Space Lightening. Wonder where I would have landed?.

Poignant

A powerful and simply told tale. A little work is needed to bring out the story's true depth. But the very idea of a man reading scripture while participating in Pickett's Charge, is thought provoking to say the least..A man who does not want to die, yet bravely wades toward his death, is something we the living can't fully understand. You have captured that moment quite admirably.

If you have the time, please look at Pleasant Hill, an excerpt from my novel set in Civil War-era Louisiana. The story has some Christian mystical aspects. Thank you.

The Battle for Hart's Pass

Rich with prose, and quite unique in its narrative and dialog . An untold land full of hard, stoic men, all with honor and not an once of duplicity. No true villains make an appearance here, just sheer cunning, feudalistic conflict with no fancy head dressings for their gods. Even the doomed insist on honor. Classic lines like, "Hope is no method," sing out as this tale of warrior factions unfolds in a simple yet subtly complex dichotomy. Ironically,through his and ability to communicate, the main character goes against his honor, outwitting is enemy by showing that he actually owns them. This is a land that should be revisited, and often.

The Cave -Chapter 1

Read the first chapter. Very well told. You have set the story up nicely. Transported me to this place in Colorado. This Knight is a serious man who knows exactly what he's getting himself into, thriving off the treachery he'll soon confront. I'll read the next chapter tomorrow. Look forward to it. I think he's gonna kill someone.

Red Cloak of Brutality

I quick, haunting read. Little Red Ridding Hood with a dagger. Almost reminded me of a Western. I suspect Clint Eastwood is under that red cloak. I like how the wolf was lured to the spot of its demise. Wasn't expecting that. Very Clever. Your prose is excellent. Vivid word pictures. I felt the grandmother's fear.
