    I'm here again! So this part right here amused me: I've known you since you were born! It's interesting because it's his mother that says this. It's as if an ...

    So I've read this three times, on two separate days, before I felt ready to type up a review. This is quite a phenomenal piece, and I've felt dread in ...

  • Short Story » General, General Re: Colby's Encounter

    Ah, this was a neat little vignette. Stylistically solid writing, something of a minor plot, more or less a satisfying conclusion. But I think there are many more places you ...

    I was always under the impression that the beauty of such ultra-short stories is that, despite their length, a plot may be seen (or extrapolated) from the bare start that ...
