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: She
Date: 2008-07-10 15:17:30

Ya know, when I looked on the "Promoted" section at the top and saw something that was written by you, I said to myself, "Oh, hell yeah. This is gonna be good, no matter what it is." 
You didn't disappoint. 
This poem was way dark, but unfortunately it is also realistic. I give kudos to you for not being afraid to tackle such a subject. 
Cosmetically, the lines didn't always flow so well, and the words didn't always rhyme, but the content made up for all of that. Way to blow my mind again.

Title article: Pulled Apart
Date: 2008-07-10 15:09:15

Wouldn't you know, I just don't dig it. I understand the meaning of what your saying, and I like that. In other words, the topic and mood are good. However, I didn't think the poem flowed very well at all, and the rhyming words didn't really rhyme. 
I hate to be the one to rain on your barbecue, but those are things that I take seriously.

Title article: Death to Amatayo
Date: 2008-07-10 15:02:12

Ok, so, I liked the way the words were on both sides, and I thought that the way it was written was very good, but I'm just not understanding Amatayo's split personality thing. Maybe I'm ignernt. So be it.

Title article: Driving Ms. Daisy
Date: 2008-07-10 14:46:54

This story has offended my values. 
 
Ok, seriously though. I can believe that he found a 77-year-old woman attractive. There are quite a few attractive older women out there. The thing that I'm having a problem with- and I'm suprised that it wasn't addressed yet- is that he was banging his grandma. That's just plain disturbing. The sex scenes were well written, as was everything else in the story. 
I like the title, too. "Driving Ms. Daisy". Dual meanings rock.

Title article: Frantic, Chapter 1
Date: 2008-07-08 17:56:09

This is a great piece of fiction! However, elenalda is right: you need to be a little more clear, especially when the point of view changes from one person to another. That's tough to do, especially when it's told from a first person narration. You have your work cut out for you, but so far so good.

Title article: The Letter
Date: 2008-07-08 17:46:41

That was one of the saddest stories I've ever read. I'm scared that I may be turning into that person, too. I've been spending a lot of time on my laptop lately, and quite a bit of that time is on this site. Maybe I should... you know... stop rating stories.

Title article: Unconscious Revenge
Date: 2008-07-08 17:21:29

Not bad. 
I have a confession: I daydream of getting revenge on one of my exes like that. Grudges should wear off, but sometimes they don't. Some pain doesn't die so easily, I guess.

Title article: M-T Barrel Bar
Date: 2008-07-08 16:25:02

This story is an example of Murphy's Law at work. 
Have you ever read "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" by Ambrose Bierce? Same basic ending. 
Not a horrible story.

Title article: The Gift
Date: 2008-07-08 16:05:13

I thought the story was great. I'm also not sure I understand the relationship between losing the cross and the conversation with the homeless man, but the story itself felt genuine somehow. 
I liked the part about the only reward for being in the mall ws the plethora of erect nipples. That was hilarious.

Title article: Shallow Vagueness
Date: 2008-07-08 15:57:55

I hve a very vague notion of what you were trying to say in that poem, but I loved it. It flowed so smoothly, rhymed so well, and sounded so good that I don't even have to understand its obviously profound meaning to truely appreciate it. Beautiful.
