Bill, I like your story and the skill it took to turn this into a 55 word tale. But I'd have liked it better if I hadn't heard versions of it before.
I do not fault you. Originality is an elusive prey.
Peace, Lee

Comment from aakemp
I liked it, especially the twist at the end, and your author's notes. Nice little piece of super flash fiction. It did make me chuckle. Hard to get in a plot in such few words but you did it nicely.

This was great! You made me laugh. My only regret in reading your story was that I entered the contest too, and I don't stand a chance with competition like yours.

Comment from Writingfundimension
I really had to grin at this story. A little tongue-in-cheek I think? Too bad that he's about to find out the truth - love how you lampoon optimists. Very creative write - Good luck!

Always look on the bright side of life. In a tiny literary space, you have pulled off an interesting and amusing narrative. Well done.

Comment from Dawn Munro
Hahahahaha - I think you should have put this under the humor category myself, but that's just me... You've told an hilarious tale in 55 short words, in my opinion.

LOL. Well written surprise ending. Like how you used 55 stories for a poem requiring 55 words. I cannot imagine what a person would feel emotionally falling of a ledge. Enjoyed. JO

Comment from eowyn0003
Great story in fifty five words. This is what my dad is always saying, when things are bad. He says there's a pony in here somewhere. Which means he has a stable full of manure, but he's still looking for said pony.

Comment from country ranch writer
his last quote reminded of what my GRANDPA USED TO SAY
FALLING IN A PILE OF S--T AND COME UP SMELLING LIKE A ROSE.
The day he fell all that way the angels were with him and it sure wasn't his time to go.

Comment from FLutterodt
Always look on the bright side of life is what they say and in fact it is the way to go. No need at all crying over already spilt milk they say. A great poem and a very functional one too. Well done
