Prose Reviewing
Simple. Review the following piece of prose. The voters will decide who gave the most helpful and accurate review.
Untitled
I step out my door and onto the sidewalk. As soon as my foot hits the pavement, I have that feeling you get when the escalator accepts your footfall. It has you. The moment of fear at missing the first step and falling passes and the conveyance is in charge. There is still the matter of stepping off at the end of the ride and all that entails, but that is set aside for the moment. The journey will be uneventful. What is left behind is left behind. What awaits, awaits.
I don't speak to anyone because they don't interest me. They don't acknowledge me 'cause, well, I suppose the feeling is mutual. That won't be the case by the end of the day. Fame or I should say infamy will come to roost on my shoulder before the sun sets today. They, will acknowledge me. My interest level in them will remain unchanged.
I imagine I'd spin this tale and the more clever readers would figure out quickly that I've passed away and I can't accept it. Yep, he's not speaking to anyone, they're not acknowledging him? he's dead and he doesn't know it. I'll save you some time; I'm not dead. I may be soon, but I'm not at the moment. It's the NEW MILLINIUM PEOPLE! Okay, over reacting. Disregard that little outburst. A pound of crisp tantalizing bacon will do that to anyone.
I suggest adding the work being reviewed to the body of your piece for easy reader reference. Yes, It's mine. No, I didn't edit it at all.
