Zeb's Mighty Fine Bridge
Sometimes it is hard to not draw wrong conclusions.16 total reviews
Comment from Bill Schott
This dialogue-only story, Zeb's Mighty Fine Bridge, is the real deal in a flash fiction tale. The introduction of characters builds to the final revelation that stemmed from the allusion to the visit to NYC in the beginning. A mighty fine story, Gerald.

Thank you for your wonderful review and generous rating. I love it when a reviewer shares what is liked (or not liked) about the writing. That depth is what makes reviews truly valuable to the writer. Thank you for being that kind of reviewer.

Hi there,
Well, it's a good piece on not jumping to conclusions, although you'd think someone might have thought to ask the guy why he building them rather than assuming he was a bit loco. lol
All the best

Wow! What a twist in this story. Sometimes we can assume the wrong thing. The sheriff was ready to take Jeb to a head doctor. Well, I guess you can tell that I enjoyed reading this well written story. LOL.

Hello Gerald a good day to you. I hope this finds you well. I enjoyed reading your Dialogue only contest entry. It was and engaging and interesting read. It amazes me what people can and will start assuming when they don't know the truth. Seems to me people should just ask questions or just mind their business, would cut out a lot of assumptions and confusion. Good job and good luck in the contest!

Thank you for your wonderful review and generous rating. I agree with you about asking questions to find the truth. The problem with too many people, though, is that the only questions asked are the ones that might confirm the wrong assumption. The world is full of those kinds of slanted questions. Thank you for reading my entry.

I run into this posting, and decided to click and read, because the title is a bit mysterious, and the picture is a type of scenery I love. Bridges are not just for crossing waters, I believe. It is also for scenery, especially in a trail in woods or private garden. The character is lovely to build bridges as a means to contribute to a church. It also seemed to me that he gained a contract as a reward for his good heart of charity. But should he have notified the city or sheriff in advance before actual building of the bridges? Overall, very creative piece of writing.

Excellent work. Good job.
I appreciate that you used quotations marks. Some didn't in this contest, though I don't understand, since it's a quotation contest.
The dialogue flowed naturally.
Best wishes.

I was raised on quotation marks so it would be impossible for me to not use them. Thank you for your kind review and generous rating.

This is a well written piece. You did a great job with the prompt. This is a good contest entry, which should do well. I can't imagine writing a story using only dialogue, as I have trouble in this area.
I appreciate the presentation, as it creates an easy read.
Your style of writing dialogue feels authentic and reads with a smooth ease.

This was a great story. I can't believe you told such a fine story only using dialogue. It was told so well that I didn't even realize it was only dialogue. Great job!

This is a great dialogue only story. I like that you've managed to get several characters included without ever resorting to narration . . . yet, you keep who is talking clear. It's a fun story about misunderstanding and first impressions. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you for your encouraging words. I have never tried sending my stories to a publisher, but, you make me feel like maybe I should give it a try. Again, thank you.
