	Veemem - August 26, 2008 Thank you Harry for that. I quite enjoy writing these monologue type stories. I just thought about the situation and imagined the girl talking to an oficial about Shana.I do have a little experience of Down's Syndrom and Progeria, so I felt I could make it work. Val x
	HarryB - August 26, 2008 A very fine piece Veemem. Some critics may point to the fact it's written in impossible 1st person style. The hell with them, it's a fine piece ... I'll remember it a long time.

Beyond The Beaded Curtain

This piece was written for a flash challenge on another site. I wrote it with my tongue firmly in my cheek, surprisingly it won. The prompt word was sarong.

	HarryB - August 19, 2008 Mmm ... nice interlude, Val. The woman in the doorway is an enigmatic and totally fascinating figure ... love to know more about her.

	howard - August 16, 2008 An effective moving piece, Veemem. Howard
	Gerry. - August 15, 2008 Val, a moving little vignette... Gerry.
	HarryB - August 15, 2008 A crusher Veemem. There isn't worse news a widower can get. Very sensitive handling of a very sensitive subject. One wonders why they didn't throw the letter away?
	Veemem - August 15, 2008 Thanks again Tina, this one I keep mucking about with I'm not too sure about the beginning. I personally preferred the original that bluepootle said I didn't need but when I posted on the other site it didn't get a comment, hence the new beginning. Don't know if you're the same but I'm a bit of a fiddler. chortles Val x
	orangedream - August 14, 2008 A totally heart-rending piece, Val. Beautifully penned. Tina x

	orangedream - August 9, 2008 Sunken has put it in a nutshell, Gillian. (A peanut shell, naturally). A memorable story. Tina
	sunken - August 9, 2008 A very worthy winner, in my sunky opinion. Well done Ms. Gillian. I really enjoyed this. It's one of those 'lump in the throat' pieces. Not that I would ever show my emotions to a lady you understand. Well done again. s u n k e n he released her budgie whilst she was in the shower

	sunken - August 9, 2008 I've been really busy siphoning petrol from fuel tanks this week, so I've not had much time to comment (-; I'm glad I took time to read this between vehicles though. Nice one, Brendie. s u n k e n remarks and spencer
	Gerry. - August 8, 2008 Brendie. This sounds as if might be a true story from your life. All I can say is under the circumstances you must have been sorely tempted ;-) Gerry.

	orangedream - August 20, 2008 Well Andrea ... I just can't think!! The old memory playing me up these days;-) Thanks, Andrea for reading, and all:-) Tina x
	AndreaUKA - August 20, 2008 Hallo Tina, now where have I seen this before :-) Still as lovely, wherever it is... x
	orangedream - August 5, 2008 Thanks, Brendie. Strange that. I guess that's what drew me to your writing. Easy. A bit like the ideal Sunday morning. The ideal every morning. Your comment, more than appreciated. Thank you. Tina
	Brendie - August 5, 2008 Tina, what a lovely story. I love the easy style of writing ...
	orangedream - August 2, 2008 This piece of flash, in its infancy, was all about cabbages and things. Then, somehow, it morphed into being about monkeys! Thanks for reading, and I am glad it hit the spot, as they say. Tina xxxx
	Gerry. - August 2, 2008 Tina, I have read this a number of times, and I am still able to enjoy, and be moved by it. Gerry xxx.

	HarryB - July 22, 2008 Very well done. Just enough "He" to establish a relationship between protagonist and reader. I found myself wondering what was the purpose of the bare, windowless room beyond the gallery.
	orangedream - July 21, 2008 Each of us could have our own 'take' on this piece - the same way we, as individuals, view paintings, etc. etc ... An enviable write to which I aspire - one of these days. Tina

Thanks for the comment sunken. I'm tickled pink that you took the time.

sunken - July 1, 2008
Ahem. Blimey. I wasn't sure what 'sculling' was, so I did a google :-

Sculling is a means of propelling watercraft by moving an oar from side to side, while changing the angle of the blade so as to always generate forward thrust.

This has some wonderful implications, Mr. Willie. I feel I can learn a lot from you (-; Well done on the award. A very strong write and no mistake.
