We live in a strange and dangerous world. You have written well about a real life surprise in less than eighty words giving the reader much to think about. If we could look into Putin's mind, I am positive it would be severely scrambled. Best wishes in the contest!

This eighty-words-or-less story, Russian Oligarch Sanctions, has the required word count and taps into current events to propose a creative penalty for the bad guys.

That's a good idea. I think we should seize all their mothers and cousins too. Then in a couple of weeks, after they realize Putin isn't going to lift a finger to help them, we send them back.

This reads more like a brief news article. What was the the surprise?
I think it is well written. I see no errors or anything missing structurally.

I will look it over again to see if I can better get the hook.

Good luck in the contest.

Hi Mystery Writer.

Your story has a GOOD angle. Who would expect that kind of action against the Oligarchs? That's a great idea. They don't seem to care about their $50 million yachts. I like the response from Vlad the Impaler.

Well done.

Good luck in the contest.

This is a good contest entry, informative and educational, surprising, orderly processed the facts though like a reader like me, I get the enjoyment in the read but I do not appreciate or understand the theme of surprise, some more flesh might have been there or at least a line might have been highlighted to help a less read reader like me, I appreciate the endeavour, if not with the order of expression; I mean it is not catchy and appealing to know about the surprise; I know author has his own explanation and self-pleading for he is the author he knows 100% but it is expressed less than 100%; well said, well done; post god speed more; positively encouraging editing, negatively not wording, forgiving errors of theist-good authors-writers.

Interesting take on the current news. I hope they come up with the right solution that can force Putin to stop his madness. Perhaps "getting personal" and "hacking" is part of the solution. Best wishes in the contest!
