And you'll be forever in the spotlight, Michael, dear. Your life was courageous and you, so very talented. You fought the good fight. This short piece is succinct and written with precision. Good luck, dear... may you find your heavenly quill and parchment ready and waiting for the next chapter.

I love the photograph you chose... that said, you speak for so many in California who camp out for days and days to buy an iPhone or band... yours. diana...............

Oh my goodness! I'm filled with sadness and tears to read this little story of such a big dream. We all dream of packing the place with our adoring fans some day. Michael, you showed us how to do that. I'll always remember that silly fish poem you helped me with. I believe it was a limerick. We kept thinking up more ways to improve it. Then I lost the contest anyway. I thought we did a pretty fantastic job of perfecting it. After dozens of pm's back and forth lol! I have no doubt you will win this contest as well as all the writing contests in the great big fanstory site in the sky. RIP my friend.

It is bittersweet to read this piece of flash today. It is bitter to know the bigger story behind this piece but sweet to know you maintained your trademark optimism and humor even in the face of mortality. I am grateful to have known you even in cyberspace. You have real character and you will be sorely missed.

Well Mav, how wonderful to read your fine work again, as this one slipped through the veil. Hollywood ain't got nuttin' on you. You are just a superstar forever.

This is a superb write and what a nice thing to see you name on the front page today. Gonna miss you a whole bunch my friend, but you will live on. You were BEST.:)

Hat's off to you, mikey,

Take a well deserved bow. Don't need Hollywood to be a superstar.

There's humor in this short flash, though all I feel is a bit sad to see you off in the bright, shining lights.

You made it Mikey! You are the star waking to the unimagined splendor of your dream, your new status, new home, amazing new life. Things will never be the same for you, but neither will they be the same for those of us who will miss so much, your words and generous spirit. So many here benefited from your presence in our world. Go, celebrate now with the Master Himself. Well done!

This is great. I also have a dream of a blockbuster movie. The blockbuster movie is from my book. I like this because I can relate to it. Good luck in the contest. Very well done. Keep writing.

This is an amazing story told in fifty words. Although I was not familiar with his writing, I am sorry to hear of his passing. May he rest in peace. It is obvious that he was a talented writer.

R.I.P Michael. What a shock to read of your death. You were such an inspiration to me. My biggest aim was to beat you in a writing prompt. It only happened twice, I came first and you came second. That meant the world to me as I admired your writing so much. I also appreciated it so much when you praised my work. You will be so sadly missed by many. X
