Short stories are usually my beat, but today I thought, "I'll check out one of these new poems"...and I'm so glad I did. All your poem needs is some illustrations of Badger jamming out!

Thank you for the smiles this brought me. Welcome to WDC...keep writing (and rocking)!

Hello, and welcome to WDC! You ask some good questions in your article; ones I'm sure we're all asking as this phenomenon continues to grow. My own take on it is that AI is technology, and technology is a tool. Like any tool, it can be used for good or for ill. In the end, the choice is that of the human using it. My fear is that many will make the wrong choices, but if I went into that I'd end up writing an article of my own instead of a review.

I look forward to seeing more of your work. Keep writing!

Hello and welcome to WDC! I was fascinated by the amount of detail in this piece...I'm not very knowledgeable about your part of the world but thanks to you I know a little more now. And that, for me, is the greatest thing about storytellers...they open doors to everywhere for us, on the power of words alone.

I look forward to more of your stories. Keep writing!

First of all, I am very glad you and your family escaped that accident with no serious injuries...you are very blessed that you EMT dad was there!

Your use of detail gives your story so much depth. The weather, the road, the conversations with the rescue workers and your family. It could have been so much worse, but your dad clearly got your family through this incident with as little trouble as possible. You have every right to be proud.

You do have a typo in your title...it reads "Car crash December 8th, 20909". The extra 9 makes it seem as if this is a story set in the far future...LOL! Just a small detail that takes nothing from the story itself.

Welcome to WDC! Keep writing!

Hello, welcome to WDC! I enjoyed your story; you captured perfectly the dynamic between your elf and dwarf characters. I especially liked the atmosphere provided by the pouring rain...that was a very nice touch.

It's always good to see another fantasy fan here. Keep writing!

Hello and welcome to WDC! In your lore I see a very structured world which I assume is based on Russian culture and history. It has all the hallmarks of a grand, sweeping epic and I look forward to seeing more of your work. Keep writing!

The father in your story is 100% correct. Being yourself is the greatest freedom there is. That's one of the joys of writing...you can place yourself in a story and be exactly who you want to be, and you will delight others in the process.

Welcome to WDC! Keep writing!

This looks like the beginning of a great fantasy tale of the classic type! I hope you will tell us the rest...starting with just who is knocking at the door.

Hello and welcome to WDC! Your story called to me in much the same way Jamie's map called to her, and I'm so glad it did...it is utterly delightful with its touches of mystery and its open end. I hopefully assume we will learn just who that was that stepped into the clearing.

Keep writing...you've definitely got all the makings of a great storyteller.

What a wonderful little story! It made me think of my late father's wristwatch, which I keep on my nightstand. Always set to the right time, and I change the battery when necessary. I've asked myself why I do so, since I never use it for anything. Your story has helped me remember the reason why.

I'm also impressed by your economical writing. You brought a vivid picture to live with minimal wordsmithing, which is always welcome!

Welcome to Writing.com! You are clearly meant to be here, and I look forward to reading more of your work!

Hello and welcome to Writing.com! I saw your post in the "Noticing Newbies" forum and came over to check out your profile...and naturally, this tale with its unique title got my attention.

You mentioned that you cannot seem to keep humor out of your work, but that has very much worked in your favor here. I was half-expecting the narrator to be an atheist, but the rescuing angel's "wham line" in response to his question took me by surprise. I laughed out loud!

I look forward to seeing more of your work here. Keep writing!

This. Is. Brilliant!

In addition to writing a very entertaining piece, you've given me some new ideas on how to cope with these pests. My own approach is to hold the phone up to my headset or the radio while some loud, obnoxious music is playing. Sometimes I'll keep a clip of David Tennant tormenting Shania Twain on a BBC radio show ready to roll. Now I have some new techniques to try.

Bravo!

What a lovely, romantic little piece! I especially enjoyed how you kept things rather mysterious...we don't know where the two characters are or even who they are, but you provided just enough detail to make them very real indeed.

Welcome to WDC! We're going to enjoy your work!

Hello!

This is the first review I've done in quite some time, and I'm glad I happened upon "Lost Umbrella". I, too, had a yellow umbrella once upon a time, which is one reason your story resonated with me. I've always thought of yellow as a cheerful color, a good shield against despair--represented in your story by the pouring rain.

I enjoyed it very much, and thank you for the bright thoughts on a cloudy Monday morning. Write on!

Well! You and your friend have given us a scenario both hilarious and disturbing.

I see from your portfolio that we will get a chance to follow Crystal's adventures in pie-eating further, so I'm not going to bug you with "Well, what happened after that?" It's clear we will get to see what happened in good time.

From your story I surmise you have a clear picture of who is doing this to Crystal, and why. I'm looking forward to reading more of your stories, you've made a great start!

Oh! Hi! *BigSmile*

I just want to thank you for sharing your funny and charming story! I happened across it and as I am just emerging from a rather stressful time, it was exactly the right story at the right time for me to read, and I got a real chuckle out of it.

I look forward to seeing more of your work. Welcome to WDC!

Wow, what a fearsome, mind-blowing ride! If it has not already been suggested to you, you may want to consider offering this story to magazines like Asimov's and The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. Both of those publications would enjoy your work!

I see that you are a new arrival to the shores of WDC, so please let me welcome you with warm thanks for sharing such a unique tale with us! I look forward to seeing more of your work here!

What a perfect tale for the upcoming Halloween season! Your story has all the elements of a great horror tale...suspense, a dash of humor, and a perfectly macabre twist at the end. The only error I see is in the sixth paragraph from the end, where your protagonist "badges" through the door. I'm pretty sure you meant "barge" but sometimes spell checkers get their own silly digital ideas. *Wink*

Welcome to WDC! I look forward to seeing more of your work!

A sweet and charming snapshot of the world from a child's point of view! I'm glad Alex was able to get her new friend to safely, away from her jealous brother's eyes.

I see that you are a returning member of WDC and that you are an illustrator of childrens' books! How wonderful! Welcome back, and I hope to see more from you!

Bravo for a tight, engaging tale! Your decision to write your story in the present tense gives the reader a sense of immediacy that enriches the drama. There were enough twists and turns to keep me reading!

Thank you for a tale well told...I look forward to more of your storytelling.

What a treat! Your story is as lovely as the flower it describes...I love daffodils too, they are a harbinger of spring! You made very innovative use of the FF prompt words as well.

Thank you for sharing your vision of magical loveliness!

Rated: E | (4.5)
How refreshing it is to see such an articulate writer joining our ranks! Your spinning top (possibly one of the most unexpected "haunted" objects I've run across in a tale) calls some complex images to mind, and the story is very well written.

Your last two paragraphs have a couple of instances of "its" with an apostrophe the word doesn't need, but that's the only error I found. A very small detail.

Welcome to WDC! Keep writing!

Gotcha indeed! Welcome to WDC...you certainly arrived with a bang!

It's not easy to evoke the atmosphere of Halloween in the beginning of June, but you managed it nicely. What I at first thought was the story of a demonic invader was instead a very skillful use of misdirection and POV. Well done!

Keep writing!

Good morning, and welcome to WDC! Reading your essay took me back in time to my own teenage years, when it was indeed an enjoyable pastime for me, but nowadays it's just a tiresome chore made even worse by having worked several years in the retail business. To say nothing of our current weird situation.

You are observant and crystal-clear with your observations, and I look forward to reading more of your work. Keep writing!
