I love rescue stories. It has always been a fantasy of mind to rescue someone, especially a child. I was glad the child stayed where Rick put him. I had a fear that the toddler was going to toddle off

Some mistakes are impossible to live with. Hector's PTSD is understandable, given that he was directly responsible for the deaths of many innocent people. What a poignant tale!

Wow what an incredible home! I would love that place. The colors are soothing and luscious! That would be so amazing to move into the home of an inventor. Does all that stuff come with the home?? I haven't

Oh my gosh that is terrible news. But thank God the family is okay! I will make a donation.

Great Market Friday post, @samsmith1971! Oh I’m with you — wow, what a week. I think @dswigle should consider changing the name to Thank God It’s Market Friday. Ha ha. Sounds like you had a very nice shopping

Great character building, @lordtimoty! One of the best moments in this story was the first line of the second paragraph, which was so startling that it made me sit up in my chair. But, despite her enchanting

Oh, I've heard wonderful things about the Driftless area. I have not gotten there yet!

You're doing well, @bettyhandayani!

Oh, I'm verklempt! That's so wonderful of you to say that I was in your thoughts when you wrote the story. It really is a gem, @agmoore. I devoured every word!

Thanks for all you do to support new members and communities, @ocdb!

I enjoyed your story, @bettyhandayani. My heart goes out to Ara for how she was treated by the other students! When reading stories that have a "moral," I always recommend that writers consider

Oh, this one is a tear-jerker, @itsostylish! My heart broke for her when she finally understands that her love is no more. You packed a wallop in a tightly-written flash fiction piece!

I felt so bad for Jane. So many people treated her badly, and even her teacher was threatening punishment. Nice work building tension in the story. That creates the "story arc" we often talk

Ah, I think I knew people like Dennis when I was in school. They are so irritating because they think they should get their way, and they often do. And they can't be trusted to be concerned about the hearts

Oh, this is an exquisite story, @agmoore. It is a perfect example of flash fiction, with the right mix of mood and tension, a conflict and a story arc. I love the similarities and differences between the

Oh, hooray!! Thank you, @hivebuzz! I almost missed it. Thanks for the cool badge. Where does the time go? Also, would love to get the badge for powering up on June 1. I have powered up several times on

Thank you, @steven-patrick. Yes, I love those contrasts too. It's funny, because I can easily make a full walk at either of those places — for example, I could have gone two or three times around goose

Yes, that wouldn't surprise me at all if there were many goose poop parks. Ha ha. Thanks for stopping by, @tattoodjay!

Thank you very much for stopping by, @justbabybee!
