Thank you Sonali, for your kind review.

It's a double thank you because your review means that 'ANYWAY' ETC is now ~ recognised ~ by Fanstory. Recognised as what, I wonder? LOL.

Perhaps I should be more concerned because 'I' too have been recognised. LOL (again).

Happy days,

:) mel. x

Excellent

I laughed until I cried. You deserve at least 8 stars for this insanely imaginative (make something of that - I dare you) story. Of course, a million pound lottery ticket would be awfully heavy to turn in. Is that why it fell down behind the maaa......? Great fun. Good luck in your contest. :) nancy

Sorry bit this bounced left and right, up and down, had me inside and out, standing on my head trying to figure out what the hell was really going on. At least I got the last few lines of the unclaimed lottery ticket apparent winner who has no clue.

The effort was there, just not for me. Can't downgrade because of my dislikes...

Thank you John. It has been described as Monty Pythonish, not for everyone I agree.

Oh my ,I wouldn't want to be Anton. LOL. Well, this was silly if silly was what you wanted to write. It was a little hard to follow at first. I had to read it again. Miss Sally

I love the picture. The guy is clueless. His fairy godmother is not much better. I think the money would have been wasted on them. Living with those two would be confusing but fun. Great work. Good luck with the contest.

This was different in a lot of ways. Your opening caught my attention right away when your left off the r in the word door. It was an attention grabber. I enjoyed reading and writing a response for this very interesting story line... John

I was going to give only four stars, but I re-read part of the story and figured that you're probably a lot smarter than I am and I missed the point (other than the missing lottery ticket). But the first time through, I had a hard time following your story and the point. I'm a big picture guy, as long as its the right one. The only thing I can really say about your choice is that the blurred picture matched the blurred thoughts.

A couple of points -

Try "Yes, you did, and don't even think of leaving home(,) Boy(.) You're only forty-eight years-old,"

Dear (G)odson

part-time (though I seen this written a variety of ways, so you're likely not wrong)

Thanks for sharing, Brent.

Thank you Brent. So what are you, a big guy in a big picture? Uhm!

The picture is a famous abstract painting and is quite sharp on my screen, perhaps you need glasses.

How do you know if a person has blurred thoughts, perhaps it's your need for glasses again. LOL.

This answer is in the same spirit as the review.

LOL. . .I'll say this - sheer curiosity held my attention! (Well, that. . .and having my funny bone tickled at the absurdity of it all!)

I really can't explain why I enjoyed it (tho the part-time fairy godmother might have had something to do with it!) but the fact remains that I did :-)

There's nothing quite like chasing an idea through a way wending obstacle course LMAO

Funny write :-) :-)

Comment from Michaelk

Excellent

Well done. This story was funny in a 'Rain man on speed' way. It made me want to dig behind my mantlepiece to see if I've lost any mail. It was so funny that I had to take a tylenol and lay down after reading it. Seriously though, in this place where everyone seems to point out every little mistake you make, it's nice to see a story that is purely silly. Good job. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you Michaelk. I like the humor in your review. Yes some reviewers are far too serious. I'm pleased you liked it.

Comment from Jay Squires

Good

I understand what you were intending with this piece, but unfortunately it fell flat. The reason is that the humor was forced and tended on the "corny". That said, it was clever in they way it wove in the contest requirements as part of the plot.

Wish I could be more helpful.

Thank you Jay. Fair enough you can't please everyone.

You are wrong on one count, this humor was not forced, it was natural to me. And has been successful in the past.
