	sunken - September 6, 2008 Hi Mr. Willie. This is the piece that adorned the front page recently isn't it? It's good to get a chance to comment. I think it's an excellent piece of writing. The ending is very powerful and no mistake. A worthy winner indeed. Well done. s u n k e n stripes or polka dots? you decide
	willie - September 5, 2008 Thanks both. I would like to improve the bracketed section toward the end. It was an element I thought important yet couldn't condense into the 350 words. The result seems weak and too pointed. Thanks again.
	HarryB - September 5, 2008 A divorce settlement for the ages! Very interesting piece, worthy of additional development, but fascinating just as it is as well.
	Veemem - September 5, 2008 Glad to see this on the front page Willie, still think it's an excellent piece. Val

	Veemem - September 5, 2008 They usually are Tina that's how thy manage to operate I suppose. Such charmers they are!! Val x
	orangedream - September 5, 2008 Really like this one, Val. As I say, I have met a couple of 'Howards' in my time. One of them had about fifteen kids in all ... in various parts of the world. He was a quite lovable rogue though! Tina x Tina x

	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.

	Veemem - September 5, 2008 To all the kind folk that commented on this story thanks, much appreciated Val x
	daniel abelman - September 4, 2008 we should ever get mail delivered in this way... a well presented flash by Val!
	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.
