Celebration You’d be surprised how many of these things take place every day. Across the country, the number must be in the tens of thousands, if not more. They take place a lot more often than you’d think and are difficult to locate unless you’ve been invited. Sometimes you’ll be eavesdropping at the grocery store, the mall, or at church, and you’ll get the details. All you really need is the date, time and location. You try your best, but in the beginning, there are a lot of mistakes to be...

Celebration You’d be surprised how many of these things take place every day. Across the country, I’m sure the number is in the tens of thousands, if not more. The first one I heard about was by eavesdropping on a conversation at the grocery store. Just a quick description of the event and the address, it’s all I needed. When I first started going to these events, I had a specific purpose, but I was going about it the wrong way. Initially, I was blinded by so much hatred and contempt to be c...

From the ending I would assume that this is part of a larger piece or something which you plan to launch something larger from. But I won't dwell on that. All of the characters are setup quite well. Matt seems like a cool enough guy/possible love interest. Summer seems to fall prey to the same thing I do, being late. This aspect of her personality was utilized and displayer very well, especially the re-enforcement of her repetitive behavior as it was noticed by both Matt and her boss. Showing...
I really enjoyed this piece. First of all, the very subtle hints that you gave to suggest it was his father in near the beginning, then re-enforcing it toward the end without ever really saying it was brilliant. In fact, we never get to know the sex of the main character, or if it was in fact a father or a father-figure but it doesn't really matter. The care that you have taken to strip away all of the fluff and leave the bare bones as to the motivation followed by the action itself, the lack...
Great display of how a couples love can fade over time. The part about the fireflies is very touching, and if this were a longer story and this scene had come before all of this it would be a nice foreshadowing device. Her ignorance to how hard it is get all of the bugs and his amazement at her ignorance. I have to say that the voice of the narrator is unclear. At first, it seemed omniscient, but at the end it switched to first person. Is it the journal speaking? Or is it the girlfriend refer...

What a fun piece. The injection of the technical jargon regarding the procedure set this on fire for me. Almost as if what we are reading had been written by a witness to the event who just also happened to be a science/english major. Juggling two different schools of thought, letting the drop to the floor find out what comes of it = this poem. Very inventive. A fun, fast paced ride that ends with a hint of darkness and the foreshadowing of danger for characters we never see. Thank you for th...
