About Myself: I'm a 30-something living in North Carolina. I write for fun, and am looking for some critiques.

My literary heros include Stephen King, Dean Koontz, John Saul, and E.A. Poe. If you are looking for a really good short story, check out Dean Koontz's "Kittens" from his book Strange Highways. Also, check out Raymond Carver's "Little Things" (aka "Popular Mechanics"). And, if you can find it, a short called "The Old Black Hat" by Gary Raisor. Classic.

Also, for reading material, I enjoy comic books. Not only the Spider-Man, Batman, X-Men variety, but also Calvin and Hobbes, Zits, and Non-Sequitor. Some good reading right there, I tell you.

Title article: The Tall Tales Of Chris
Date: 2008-07-16 18:51:04

So-So. There were a lot of spelling errors, and the story didn't quite flow. Not only that, but I found out that it makes me just as uncomfortable to read a conversation between two men in bathroom stalls as it does to have a conversation with a man when I'm in a bathroom stall. Yeesh.

Title article: Day of Revelation
Date: 2008-07-16 18:44:59

This was an incredibly well told story, very detailed and imaginitive. I don't necessarily agree with nillx that the end of the world is a time for nookie, especially among teenagers. lol. But, the story was interesting and it flowed nicely.

Title article: Why
Date: 2008-07-15 16:24:05

I'm with June on this one. Very dark and foreboding at the beginning, and then the last for lines are brighter and more simple, like a ray of hope in a storm of desolation. Very well done.

Title article: Lights, Camera, Action.
Date: 2008-07-15 16:20:20

This was a fascinating short story. It was well written, well detailed, and very interesting. This is one that you should seriously consider having published in a magazine somewhere. Excellent job!

Title article: Because It's There
Date: 2008-07-15 14:57:35

This was a well told story, and reminded me of being a kid and walking through the woods not too far from our house. I didn't have any cool ex-racetrack experiences, but my memory is full of my own follies. Good job.

Title article: Back at Me
Date: 2008-07-15 14:32:43

The pic at the top- is that Helena Bonham-Carter?

Title article: Back at Me
Date: 2008-07-15 14:31:05

I thouroughly enjoyed this poem, as I am one who spends a great deal of time living in his head, just like the subject of the poem. I can easily relate. 
 
Beautifully done!

Title article: A Dollar Seventy-Five and a Hot Dog
Date: 2008-07-14 18:19:11

This was a pretty amusing story, but I didn't care for the ending. I was cheering him on, hoping that he would get his hot dog, and then he dies before he can swallow his first bite. What a letdown. 
On the other hand, the encounter with the woman at the newsstand was pretty funny. That should be drug out more, in my opinion. Good vocabulary and descriptions. 
Good story!

Title article: Imagination Encircles The World
Date: 2008-07-14 18:01:51

This was an excellent visual poem. The descriptions were ideal, and it flowed very well. 
 
I'll nitpick, too. 
 
You should invest in a new "period" button for your computer, because there are several places that need one. I assume that yours is just broken. 
 
Lack of dots on the page aside, this was an outstanding poem!

Title article: Dare To Be Free
Date: 2008-07-14 17:56:20

Another five-star poem. But you knew I would give you that, didn't you? It's like you wrote it for me. You're a sweetheart, no matter what the ButtPirates (Sterling?) say. 
Seriously, though, it has a good message and good flow. Keep it up. 
This is one for the favs.
