Marjon,

Very interesting piece describing a time of day. This would be a very fascinating part of a novel or short story - a transitionary moment... perhaps showing an impending moment of doooooooommm.. ACK~!

But it is not a story. It's just a moment in time. Maybe, at most, a few minutes? There is no arc or plot. There is no climax or satisfying conclusion.

It IS well written and enjoyable. I appreciate very much the talent and effort that went into it. Thank you!

    Robyn, that is constructive comment! Thank you, I so appreciate that. True, I see it now. It lacks to be a story. And, if I have the time, I will convert it into a short story as you suggested. Thanks again!

I think this is a good entry for the 100 Word Flash Fiction writing prompt.
This short story describes the evening.
Well done and I wish you luck with the contest.

If a story is supposed to transport the reader into a certain place or situation, yours did exactly that. I could easily close my eyes and visualize what you described. Don't let twilight leave you gloomy. It is a time to reflect on the day's activities, and possibly look forward to what is ahead. Well written, good luck in the contest.

    Rockman, I am thankful for the five stars and the nice comment. Don't worry! I am not too gloomy and when it gets too dark and I can't see the things around me anymore, I light the lamps!

I hope this isn't really fiction and that such a scenario really exists. "Sun and moon seem set to hustle" "pretend that daylight never fades." "detergent bright." "Night's black agent " You didn't even need a picture to go with this!

    Thank you Susan for your review. I see that you like the same things as I do. Looking with attention at our surroundings and note the special moments in every situation...isn't that what poets and writers do?

    "To see what everyone has seen and think what no one has thought...." anonymous Those words are framed next to my computer. Am I allowed to tell you who I voted for?

This is excellent flash fiction. I love your descriptions of detergent bright daisies anod the light changing into a deep indigo. You have described vividly the transition from day into night.

Very nice piece! You showed the transition between day and evening beautifully. For me, it's a time of reflection of the day-perhaps an appreciation. I like your word choices as well.
