This is an excellent contest entry, by far the best. You have used the words seamlessly to create a complete and meaningful story with good imagery and description.

An interesting little work. I enjoyed it, and I can sort of relate, as I couldn't wait to get out of the house either.

She shivers, remembering(whoops, you changed verb tenses here. Should be she shivered)

Other than that, well done.

    I appreciated the note on shivers . I had shivered had some one else told me I had the wrong tense....can't please'em all. I'm glad you agreed with me. Thanks again. CArol

I loved your story. It was such a lovely story. Very nicely written and you did a great job of using the required words. Those were some difficult words to use in one story. Well done.

Well done with this story, these types of
contest always brings out the creative side
of authors and it is so interesting to see
how they differ and if they appear forced.
I like this well done...

Hi there, BeginAgain, and thank you so much for this flash fiction posting, an excellent piece of work that does not seem at all contrived in order to incorporate all the words. Best wishes, Kenny

excellent - so few words but just the ones to tell this story - it was very smooth and no lumps or bumps to slow it down - most enjoyable short - short story -

Superb entry for the contest. Paints an emotional life-landscape and depicts the scene vividly, incoproarating all the words in a seamless and believable fashion.

Loved this line-

There is no justice in the ghetto.


Did not notice any nits or spags.

Best of luck. This should prove a strong contender in the contest~

Warmly, rd

    A smile crossed my face when I read who the review was from. I just left you a message too. The strange thing is that this story also just jumped into my mind, demanding to be written. Maybe are stars crossed somewhere.

    Thanks for the review and for the kind words. I am glad that you enjoyed it.

Hi Carol, a nice story with the prompt words needed. Makes sense and I like the ending giving some hope when the beginning started bleak. Best Donna

Stunning entry my friend.

The story is as always told with warmth and deep feeling.

You have done a superb job with 2 words to spare. I wouldn't even attempt to pack in a story as complete as this , and using such a difficult selection of words.

I am so impressed, depressed, supressed....ooops, sorry doh! Seriously, this is great.
love and hugs
Suzie

    For some reason, this story just came to me. I wasn't even going to enter and then I was typing. When I finished I was only a handful of words over...clip, snap, and cut..it was done. Probably never happen that way in another million years. Thanks for the review. As always, I greatly appreciate your comments. CArol
