A quote from the original Hypatia of Alexandria 370-415 A.D.
“Reserve your right to think, for even to think wrongly is better than not to think at all.”

The stories I love are ‘Tess’ by Thomas Hardy and ‘Neverwhere’ by Neil Gaiman.

From animaniacs Mindy & Buttons:
“I love you, bye bye.”

Winston Chaney was an English high-ranking member of the shadow Lionsgate Party; in a time of the biggest class divide in history, as food prices sky-rocketed. In Europe and America people were being shot by the People's Front Party soldiers, a military solution to the food poverty riots. And those that could afford to eat were in danger of being mugged and attacked. These acts of terror were increasing daily and those that had money were happy to turn a blind eye.Winston could not. His curre...

Crime, Thrillers & Mystery / Chapter Three: It was a chocolate hob nob kind of day
Version 1
6 Reviews   4 Comments
I arrived at my office that morning to find out that Mable had already banked Semelia’s cheque and paid off my parking fines. I had told Mable to take out the pay I owed her, but being Mable I knew she would only take half of it. If anyone was due for a treat it was her. I wanted to make things up to her big style. Luckily my morning was free of appointments; Semelia’s next engagement wasn’t until the next day. I planted a kiss on Mable’s cheek and she handed me my car...

     I offered Semelia a seat and she sat down in front of me..      When was the first time you saw this woman?” I asked.      “It was at the do after the premier of ‘Blues Party’.”      ‘Blues Party’ was my favorite film. I remembered the silky tones of the bass line caressing Semelia's flawless smooth skin. The flashback caused me to take a long deep breath. I tried to ...

Novel Treatments / Gothic Love - Chapter 1
by GeorgiaPoetry
Hi there, this is a very in the moment style of writing that I like very much. You get the sense that the rest of the world disappears when she is under his stare. You are left with a sense of wanting more and you can feel the emotions of Raven as you read on. I hope you get to finish this story. It is about an ordinary matter of fact world but you make it seem rich and vibrant and I for one could read more of the same. I wouldn't say it lacks anything, but you could add more descriptive cont...

Short Story / The Game
by CiannaSkye
Being played whilst playing - I like it. Fantasy mimicking reality. The end is really poignant, she felt that he treated her with tenderness and he made her feel special, important,in reality his gift was the cheapest on the list and not so rare - like their friendship. He is probably one of those childish males that thinks it is clever to play with her emotions and he does not consider the effects of his actions. This whole story is very well written and engaged me right from beginning to en...
Short Story / < / 3
by CiannaSkye
This story is a surprise because in the beginning it read quite distant from the characters and then slowly we see things from the characters viewpoint. Once I engaged with the characters I found the story fascinating, very black and surreal. The parallel worlds convey so much, living together and yet living alone, different realities merging subtlety. Two possible deaths and what is left unsaid relies on the reader's imagination. Well written and a unique perspective about the ease of cuttin...

Action Adventure / Relatively Superhuman: Chapter 1- UNUSUAL ABILITIES (Version 2)
by Hypernormal
You have the ability to bring your words to life. The rich powerful imagery takes a poetic slant as your words flow easily through my mind. You have created a piece of work that asks many questions from the reader. The attachment to the characters is instant. In my mind this piece covers all the angles and I hope to read more from you. It does not have the feel of a seasoned writer with regard to usual sentence structure but then this is not a hindrance Dean Kootz has been slated for not bein...
Horror / Desires
by BPL
An interesting piece which reminds me of in the mind of Hannibal. Your sentence structure needs a bit of work though. You could add more visual descriptions of your characters, the body, his clothes, the policemen's horrified expression. A sly smile as you watch them drink your bloody concoction. Overall I like your ideas and hope you continue with this. It’s hard to tell the difference between reality and my thoughts. (a)place where you can relax. To see the other side and understand the sic...
