This 100 Word Flash Fiction is well told and the story is painted nicely in the piece.
Well done and I wish you good luck with the contest, and the climb next month.

This is a picture of life itself at times- struggle, pain, disappointment and frustration. But there is another opportunity so hope must triumph over despair. Lovely write. Best wishes for your entry in the contest.

Yes, I imagine. Sometimes falling or sliding back just a few paces after you've struggled, faced pain and hardship, and when your goal is insight, even a small slip can seem like a catastrophe.

Very well written.

It is impressive that you can transmit a lot of energy in a flash fiction piece that ends with a depletion of one's physical stamina. The contrast is excellent...as well as the positive message to not give up because another chance will be coming by. Best wishes in the contest, Kate! xo

Beautiful metaphor about this slippery slop, dear Katherine. I admire your sense of great imagery and contemplation at the same time. We all have mountains to climb here and there...we try, we try over and over again...it is great to try.

This sort of put me in the mood of the movie Groundhog Day. If you haven't seen it, you don't want to. But every day when Bill Murray wakes it's the same time of the same day and every repeats itself over and over. Like climbing a hill and slipping back to the bottom and having to start all over again. Thanks for sharing.

    I've head of that film. No, I don't intend to see it (I'm not really a cinemophile anyway). Thanks for reviewing anyway, much appreciated. Kate xx

Climbing Up and Up
by Katherine M. Kean

I like your poem about climbing to the top of the mountain and though painful it's worth it. I like the metaphor comparing giving birth. Well done!

You did a good job, Katherine, with your tribute to Karenina, and your contest entry. I believe you are comparing life's ups and downs (her medical issue) with that of climbing to the peak of the mountain. Sometimes it is easy, yet others it takes more attempts, but all is worth the effort. It is when one gives up that it becomes serious. As long as one is able to fight, better days are ahead.
Best wishes in the contest.
Respectfully, Jan
