His Destiny
100 Word Story contest entry18 total reviews
Comment from dragonpoet
This is a horrible use of a ride from a pegasus. Maybe the boy will find his true destiny at the bottom of the other side of the mountain. Maybe the descent will give his time to think about his past and future.
If it could be done riding a winged horse or dragon would be on my
bucket list.
Congrats on placing second in the contest.
Keep writing

Comment from Elizabeth Emerald
Congrats on your prize. Well-deserved for the wry and witty tale. Loved the twist at the end--all this enchanted wizard stuff and then comes the modern day zinger re getting rid of the deadbeat. Cheers. LIZ

Hahah. I loved that the vain and useless prince was tricked into going to find his destiny. Looks like he got what he deserved. Now the trip home will either make or break him.

Excellent! Perfect ending! I love fantasy of this period, so my attention was captured from the first sentence. :) Poor old dead beat son! Haha! Loved it! xoxo

Comment from Jesse James Doty
This is fun and clever. And has a surprise ending that is humorous. What's not to like? I like, also, your creative melding of several images into one, which tells us part of the story, yet doesn't give away the ending. I like the large print. It is easy on my eyes. This story, built the plot, and went through its changes, and then had the fun surprise twist, at the end. Well written and enjoyable to read.
Take care, Jesse

Hey, Jesse, hello. You always give the best reviews, friend. Allow me to thank you again for another one. I really appreciate you taking the time, J. Besides writing, I like messing around with my art program to come up with most of the artwork I use on here. Thank you again, Jesse. I hope you have a great rest of your weekend.

Hello Ron.
I am so glad you like my reviews. I certainly enjoy your posts. I think you have a great advantage with your added skills with the art field. Enjoy your Sunday.
Take care, Jesse
Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
This has all the classical hallmarks of short Flash Fiction, but placeed in a fairytale setting. This whimsical touch makes the ending more unexpected than usual. So then the reader feels it is more powerful than its peers - way to go!

Wow, thank you so much for the fantastic review and the giant sixer, Katherine. Yeah, I always like to throw some kind of surprise ending in most of my stuff. This time I just chose a fairytale background, lol. glad you liked my silly offering, Katherine. Thank you again.

Comment from Val Crisson
Well, this is so creative and so "flash," that I had to give it a six. I love flash fiction, but have not been writing it lately, but you had the beginning, middle, and an amazing "PoP" ending, as the deadbeat son is gone. This should go a long way.

Comment from LyndaS
I think you accomplished quite a bit with your 100 words. I admit I started to giggle when I read "dead beat son". Your whole story along with this glorious picture you created very easily places the reader in a fantasy atmosphere. The ending was a great twist on this tale. Very well done, Mr. Skulls. Lynda
