Well, this didn't show up in my inbox and it being so late in the week I almost didn't see it at all. But I'm glad to see you back and hope the world is treating you well! Thanks for sharing.

    Certainly appreciate your review. Believe, at least for now, have done all that can be done to resolve the issue I stepped away from FanStory for. Now, perhaps back to some regular postings again.

I can relate to your prose. When an idea comes to mind I have to write it down immediately, from there is grows. I find the words never have the same intent if lost forever and have to be re written.

A great story with a surprise ending. Perfect.

A thoroughly enjoyable read.

Wouldn't that be a trying situation though? You write a story for a contest and then end up leaving it on the bus. I think she should have gotten back on the bus and fetched her story.

I liked your short short story. It did indeed have a surprise at the end! I wasn't expecting that at all. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

This sounds like something I would do and made me smile as I related to it.
Your writing flows smoothly. Great job with the background and then giving us the surprise at the end.

Lol. That would be a nightmare for most writers. Instead of a computer hard drive crash and losing the words to some recoverable or irrecoverable digital space, someone else could publish her work! Best wishes in the cotnest!

Wonderful poem entry for the Surprise! 80 Words or Less writing prompt contest. Oh, no.... that's awful, poor Mary. :(

Good luck in the contest.

You may have a contest winner right here with this post.

Well done in only eighty words. You told a complete story with a surprise twist at the end,

Wonder if someone picked up that bestseller claimed it for them?

Nicely done.

Hi there,

I get what you're going for here and that there's a limited word count but this doesn't really add up. The whole novel is on scrap paper for a start and she's carrying it around like it and sets it on a bus seat. If it wasn't bound, given it's scrap paper, it would have been all over the bus when it stopped suddenly.

There's a lot of improbability attached to this piece in order for it to work and it just feels off.

All the best
GMG

This is a very creative, but painful story. Many writers can relate to having a fabulous story that is lost for one reason or another. I often write on scrap paper and can relate to how it would feel if I left my winning story on a bus. Great job with this. Best wishes in the contest.
