This is Erick, I currently go to Florida Int. University studying English. My favorite author is Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and some of my style comes from him. I’m actually quite open for any opinions you might have, and hopefully we’ll all get better someday. eh?

Short Story / Circles
Version 2

      Circles by Erick Castrillon     Evian. There’s a name for you. In the morning she tells me she’s figured it all out—what I’ve been telling her about demographic trends and individual responsibility. I ask her what of it hoping she’s changed her mind, but she doesn’t answer. Instead, she takes almost an hour to get out of the shower, then another hour before she’s off to work. “Here we fucking go again,” she s...

Short Story / We Both Go Down Together
Version 1
9 Reviews   5 Comments
In the best days of his youth, Bernardo traveled once to the pacific coast of Mexico with the intention of seeing the sea. He never made it, but instead ended up in a rural town where he met Ofelina. During those distant times she was beginning to bloom with all the characteristics of a great woman. Her beauty, and the way she anticipated others’ thoughts with such prodigious grace, confirmed that the world to her wasn’t round but in the shape of a sunflower just as she had suspected. Bernar...

Short Story / Evening Stars
by ramon
Okay, you've got an interesting idea here. There's something significant in that highly digitized, plastic world that you've created. That people get so lonely to the point of falling in love with material things like robots. Good observation on society! remids me of that movie that the guy falls in love with an inflating doll. However, the story comes short of what it's supposed to be because you're lacking plot structure. The guy wants to be with this robot chick but he seems to be doing ve...
Short Story / The Date
by scent
I really enjoyed reading this disastrous date. You've got fantastic timing, and a great voice too. I like how every time that the guy thought he was doing something smooth, Kim thew it back at his face. How you handled the dynamics of these two people was great. There were shifts of power, and all the elements of plot. Your prose was for the most part pretty tight and controlled. What would make this piece better, I think, is if you add an extra scene of when they are eating. Show the awkward...

Short Story / Hugocentric
by Claire_D
The piece was creative and definitely funny at some points. However, I fail to see what the goal of Hugo is. And why all this Hugoness is relevant. Hugo's goal is apparently to become an optimal hugo in order to gain leverage over his life. midway into the story he gets that. After that, he's left around without a conflict and without a goal. So, I'm saying that the conflict was solved too easily, and too early. There doesn't seem too much standing in the way of him reforming his life. And yo...

Poetry / Sketch 9
by ekaterina
I enjoy the depiction of dreams as fickle and senseless "mixtures of lines" and ideas. However, I think you can expand more on why are these types of dreams important to the persona. Why are these dreams any more remarkable than mine? I understand you are trying to express a general comment on dreams, but your persona has to have feeling for what he/she writes, portrayed in the reason behind the words. these lines seem clumsy-- Like invisible ghosts Of the vividness. -- you cannot say "the vi...
