In response to "Holiday letter"

Thanks for your entry in the Bard's Hall Contest. Word Count was listed in accordance with the rules.

I thought the opening was engaging and the salutation addressed a reader. The letter takes a look at the author's life, where it was going and how it COVID had influenced change. The letters ends on an upbeat note.

In response to "Sacrificing"

I wonder whether you were thinking of Nashville.

Please edit if entering in a contest. There are a few typos that need to be fixed.

If you can get out tonight and the skies are clear look up.

In response to "Ally's prophecy"

I like the narrative your making here? I don't know if you did more with this or if this was just a one off but I love this so much. If you did do more with this please email me at this sight or send me a link? If not I would still like to know more about you writing style.

In response to "An adventure to remember"

This was vary fun short story, I had no idea what was going to happen next but I found it quite funny. I was a bit surprised at the end, but looking back I could see how all that would make sense.

Feeling of insanity

Locked in a room too quiet to be true,
He felt his senses going numb.
It smelled like nothing, the tastelessness grew,
But he recognized the hand holding up a two.

There was no sound at all but that of his heart,
'Does it always beat so fast?'
As he thought, the hand lost another finger
He could now only see a very blurry one.

His only sense that could really sense
Began to tingle little by little.
And slowly, even the last finger fell,
And there was nothing left but a stump.

A stump of a hand with no fingers left
A stump of a man with no limbs left
The only sense that remained steady
Was that of his touch and his feel.

But he soon realized that he'd rather lose it too,
The room where one can merely feel was up to no good.
Suddenly a piercing cold encapsulated his form
And the feeling grew colder and sharper and colder
and sharper and colder and sharper and sharper and...

...until there was nothing left but insanity.
