Thanks for your words, Amity. One of the main works by Kenzaburo Oe which inspired me the most was Rouse Up O Young Men of the New Age! The plot of th...

Congratulations to all the authors. Good stories. I enjoyed taking part in this contest. :up:

When I read the sorty I thought about you because you lived in Valencia. Only a person who knows brief culture of Valencian region knows how the archi...

Thank you for all your comments. Key points of why I wrote this type of story: I. The saying "sometimes wood sinks and stone floats" is Japanese. I to...

I see you take it so personally. I guess this is your story and you did not like my comments so I am sorry because it wasn't my intention to hurt you....

the saying can be applied for both politics and real life. If you interpret it in a political view you will not understand what I tried to say. I mean...

En fin, corre más un galgo que un mastín... :flower: :sparkle:

It is not a positive view in my own thought. Do not force me to like it Amity! :rofl:

Exactly. As why best sellers sell millions of copies. Because of their easy read :blush:

What I mean: the easiest of read, the easier to be liked.

That's what I missed in this story: imagination. I don't deny it is fictional but the effort of the author was vague. The rest of the stories are full...

:cool:

Yeah, it is fictional but the plot and scenario are not imaginative enough (even the title is literally the same of the main thread) The author just s...

:up: This one is not a short story at all. The author just shared an experience with a thread of the forum. It is far away from all the other stories ...

It is! :up:

I consume them everyday for breakfast. I feel bad about @"Shawn" because it seems he loves pigs as animal pet. I want to share a brief story realted t...

Do not forget the Iberian pig! https://www.pernil181.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Cerdo-iberico.jpg

Exactly. I felt the same feeling. It looks like you are watching a paint or a photograph of a autumn plains.

:sparkle: Magnificent, poetic, philosophical and original. I liked it. Big congratulations to the author for this short story.

You are right. The main fact is that Rose is the one who is fighting and rescuing, not the other way around.

When the story says: Together, they fought off evil dragons and rescued damsels in distress. In the end, Rose and Eric fell in love and got married. T...

As @"Shawn" said: it catches your attention and you want to continue to read the story. Congratulations to the author, it is a good one. I guess with ...

Nope! :blush:

A lot of contributors! short story - microfiction is being a success.

Thanks for your words, Amity :sparkle: I enjoy writing and debating in short story. I feel my imagination is flourishing :flower: :lol:

Thank you for all your effort on the analysis inside each short story. I also want to help but I am not as good as you! Keep on it :sparkle:

Romanticism is not my favourite type of short story but I appreciate the effort of the author of show how a couple shall be. I really liked the follow...

The interruption started at 08:28. I was reading a short story and randomly it went down. Thanks for fixing it! I was wondering for a hour that my pro...

The start of this story is original but I think is not the specific way to include it on a short story. Literature is about imagination and surrealism...

Fully agree with you, friend. Lexical analysis is very complex but interesting. I am not confident enough to debate on it... I don't have such criteri...

That's right! Payaso or Imbécil can fit in the meaning of "tomfoolery" Also, payaso means "clown" in English. But, whenever someone acts with silly be...

I never heard about this word, so I had to find out a meaning and google says: silly behaviour, especially done as a joke. No, I don't see in that way...

My intention was not to create a controversy. So, I am sorry if this turned on it. Short stories is going well and and so it will continue.

It is interesting because all of those words, despite of being related to sadness, tend to be the most influential towards writers and philosophers.

I am agree, Amity. But I was not referring to "all the members" as a group but the ones who are commenting in each thread of the story. I don't want t...

I also felt that way many times. I don't think is narcissism but low self-esteem or insecurity. Nevertheless, words and feedback are still important, ...

If that's the issue, I think some members did not understand the objective at all. It was created to show the imagination skills of some members. When...

@"Baden" has expressed a very important issue on short stories: despite all the comments it looks like some readers do not vote. Please, after reading...

I was wondering the same... when I see the polls it looks like not all the readers are voting on the polls. But it seems that after some hours, the vo...

Good story :up: I don't know if one of the objectives of the author is representing a soliloquy or mental disorder. Both of them are very good shown. ...

I thought the same. And as @"Caldwell" said I got the fuzzy feeling too. Good short story and congratulations to the author!

I liked it when the story says: "Selling porn is a lonely business" Magnificent :100:
