Rod,

A most inspirational poem you penned. Pleased you placed in the contest. The soldier deserved his Medal of Honor, the Purple Heart. The boy has gained a friend, likely for life, in place of the loss of his father's companionship.

This one-hundred word story, Together Yes!, uses the correct word count and finds the new beginning to life's journey in the combining of survival and possibilities that friendship provides. Neat.

Aww, that was lovely! What a wonderful story, there are many people who have lost limbs today, and all it takes is one person to take an interest and that persons life will be changed forever. This is a well deserved win. Congratulations! :)) Sandra xx

Nice story, and sets out the flash clearly. There is no twist as such at the end, but it allows you to think on about how they are likely to become friends in life. Well done and good luck.

That's a heartwarming story told in just a hundred words! Without all the details, you gave the backstory via the common loss of leg and dialogue and developed a relationship between the Marine and the boy. Hope this does well in the contest!

A hundred words seemed not enough to relate this touching story and yet you did. If it was real, thanks for your service; if not thanks for writing such a heart-touching piece.

Hello author

This is a good story. The opening is good. It attracts you to follow to the end.

A sad story to lose a leg!

Yet It is admirable to see Kurt being g positive and carry on a meaningful life.

Thanks for sharing

A different and interesting flash fiction, although it rings with authenticity and being non-fiction. Your story is well- written, and I hope it does well in the contest.
