Thanks! The idea just popped into my head yesterday!
“Do what is right, let the consequences follow.” -Truth and Treason
It was definitely great. Your story was amazing! The story reminds me of the book of Ecclesiastes.

Thanks! Yeah, Ecclesiastes was definitely in mind when I wrote this. Your story was really good too!!

Lol, good luck. Are you judging them by the end of today or tomorrow?

Yeah, i know. It’s going to be hard to chose.
It depends on how long people take to send stuff in.
I may have to do it tomorrow or even Friday, (because of Thanksgiving.)

So this line is like the third rail?
I expanded what I had to 202 words, but it’s still really flash fiction. Much of the poignancy is in its brevity, so I don’t want to add more. Let me see if I can get my other idea in order for this contest.
You have listened to fears, child. Come, let me breathe on you... Are you brave again? -Aslan

What a sweet story! The little boy’s words just made me burst into laughter! I love how you paint the picture of how deadly words are, but also how kindness can cure the pain of that!

Well, the deadline is passed, so I think I’m gonna judge the three stories that were submitted.
in particular order……
I really, really loved this story. The was you showed the thoughts and inner struggles of this soldier, and how you hit so many strong points in such a short amount of time. There was just a raw pain and desperation, but there was also that gentle touch and the peace and glory at the the end. a Very, very well rounded story, and certainly one after my heart.You have quotable lines in there!
I was shocked, to say the least. From what I’ve seen of you on here, and what I’ve read that you’ve written, I honestly didn’t know you were capable of a story like this. lol. And the “you asked for it” when you sent your story made me a little scared to even open it. I was expecting something slapstick or graphic. Definitely not what I did get. And that story HIT HARD! I think all of us can say we’ve experienced the pain words can bring, and man…… oh that story was raw and precious. I read it several times over in the first sitting. the line “I picked up and set the little guy in my lap, then buried my face in his hat.” right after saying there is life and death in words….. oh I was done. I was so done. I was crying hard, no joke. That was so BEAUTIFUL! And words. That would have been unexpected from anyone! Oh that story idea, the plot, the way it was carried out, the simpleness, the realness…. man it was good.
I LOVED your story. It was such a beautiful, well written narrative. There was just enough description without to much, and just enough back story without swamping us, and just enough dialogue without forcing it. You are a skilled writer! I have to know, did you write that song? If not, what is it called because I must hear it!!Just the beauty of spiritual life and death is something that I love and you touched it really, really well. Your characters were authentic and touching, and the ending was perfect. I got teary eyed reading it.
Okay, and now for the winner. first place goes to POWER!!!!
Congrats! The stories were all so good, but yours had something special that just really stuck with me.
Second place is 100% a tie between Liberty and Shadow!
This was so hard y’all. Really, really, hard. The stories were amazing, and I wish I could give first place to everyone, and I don’t wanna judge no more. lololol.
Thank you all so much for the beautiful stories. I won’t be forgetting them in a hurry.
Power, it looks like you get to pick the next prompt! Send it in whenever!
