Dear Thesis,

Wow, quite a story for hundred words. The only criticism I have is that it is so short so you can't elaborate at all. I'd like to see a longer version. (LOL)

I see you won the contest. Congratulations.

Warm regards,

Winslow

A well-written contest entry. In a few words, you managed to tell the whole story. Your story was realistic and flowed. It moved right along from beginning to end.

Great job with your scenario. Love these little macabre writes that tease us with revenge, the dark side, etc. Image is perfect for your words. Marilyn

This was very interesting. I certainly didn't expect the twist at the end. I think this would make a great short story! You managed to tell quite a lot about Julie and her husband in such a few words. Nice job with that.

You made unnecessary shifts in tenses throughout this piece. You switch back and forth from past to present. You need to pick a tense and stay with it.

Don't bury dialogue in the narrative. Dialogue should be started in it's own paragraph.

She had a great life with me[,] and I was really confused as to why she was so enamored with the UPS Driver. (Need comma where indicated.)

I don't feel comfortable giving high stars with so many errors.

Good luck in the contest.

Well, that's one way to handle it.
Nor sure the kids would agree.
Quick and snappy, a complete story.
Meets the contest requirements nicely.
Great job!
Michael
