What a harrowing commentary! Love watching the commercial that touts that "are we taking something for our brain?" that amounts to, the bennies of jellyfish. Why is it the scientific community (or should I say medical community) refuses to admit that all our cures our out there! TG the medical world is now grudgingly admitting the bennies of cannabis...

Very nice short story. I really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your imagination. I could also see this story expanded into a somewhat longer version. I realize you were limited by word count.

Very good! You caught my interest from the beginning. It was a well thought out story. And a great amount of imagination! Good luck!
Wouldn't it be wonderful if your idea of the jellyfish really worked? Anyone for a boat trip???

you might want to recheck the contest announcement. I believe the contest has a maximum word count of 800 words but when I ran this piece through Microsoft Word, it counted 906 words. Good luck in the contest.

    Is it average because of the word count?

The story is too pack. You should made smaller paragraphs and make space between the paragraph. Other than that beautiful picture and pretty good and engaging story

Hi there,

it may be an idea to incorporate some line breaks into your work. Leaving clear lines between paragraphs can make for a cleaner write which is more easily followed on screen. Also many folk skip over blocks of unbroken text.


A rather fantastical tale here.

A few notes I made as I was reading through-

when I herd the voice of God. - heard.

from a dermatologists appointment - need an apostrophe in here.

he came rite out with it. - right.

about a $20.000 shopping spree - $20,000.

for skin cancer, It exists in the ocean- it.

Good little write.

Wow! Excellent story. If there was ever a story that should be a novel and a screenplay this is it. Talk about a big screen blockbuster this is it. I can see Mathew Macconauhey in the lead if not Ryan Reynolds. If this is in fact a true story you probably won't wish to pursue it but if not let me know when to get my popcorn. I would definitely want to see this film. Great job!
