This thirty-three-word story, Priorities, has the proper word count and creates a scene of survival on the mean streets as the have-not tries to salvage what the 'haves' have discarded. Important.

You have a vivid use of words that makes the reader feel empathy for this individual who is homeless. You did well to create a story with only thirty-three words. Your words also give the homeless a voice. Best wishes for the contest.

I can't imagine a 33-word fiction! But you did tell a story with action statements like 'Flames sizzled around the blanket-wrapped body.' I guess that Super is just heartless. Best wishes in the contest!

Congratulations for a well written thirty three word fiction.

The work highlights a desperate move made by the the protagonist to embrace fire as a means of averting cold; the burning effect of the fire on him and allusions made of him as mannequin.

The work earns its texture through its effective use of humorous anecdotes.

Excellent work. Bravo.

Survival instinct is thought of and expressed narrating a 33 word fiction, I like the plot and have enjoyed the climax; well said, well done; post more. Wish you good luck for the contest. ALCREATOR LITT DEAR (D. Ray)

You manage to tell a good story in a ridiculously small number of words. I admire you for this achievement. I especially like the intimation that your character could have been saving someone from the fire, when in fact it was the comforter he was seeking for himself. Clever!

I am impressed that you have written a concise story in a matter of 33 words. Well done you. A short read but one that highlights all too well the homeless population, the heartless people around and the need for more compassion. Good job and best of luck in the competition.
