So much to absorb and think

Lovely stuff. The bit where they come in and you want to hear all about it and they just say 'OK' because they're starving - that really made me smile. Always in their own time. The reassurance of everything being as it should be, after a day...

Posted on Sun, 13 Aug 2017
Really like the way the relationship between Jack and his dad is so complex - Jack is happy his dad is happier - and more likeable - but sad that he doesn't see him so much. The dad is a very interesting character. Some of the dialogue in the...

So much truth in this. The incomplete ending is often the hardest to accept - as you say, not knowing the crime, not getting any answers. The last stanza really hits home, recognizable to anyone who has been in a similar situation. Thank you...

Posted on Thu, 27 Jul 2017
You capture the odd, surreal nature of a dream very well in the first part of this story. I like the flashes of humour as well. Personally I'm not a fan of 'it was all a dream' endings - although, again, there are some nice touches of humour...

Well done on your own 300. Here's to the next 300.
Brilliant story. I had a smile at 'unburdened by burger' - yes, you're an artist.

Enjoyed reading this. I was bored by science and maths at school, but then as I got older I realised how much I'd missed. I wasn't so bothered about the answers, I just wanted to understand the questions. A couple of years ago I took evening...
