Janilou
I really enjoyed reading your flash fiction story 'Thieves And Liars.' I didn't expect the twist I assumed the homeless man was the thief. The attractive lady was holding up homeless at gun point. She got what she deserved. Excellent descriptive writing, dialogue and characterization. I loved the narrative. Great imagery put me in the thick of the action. Your flash fiction is very entertaining and well written. A real contender for the contest worthy of an excellent rating.
Melissa.

Janilou,
I dont really know if you could be a liar, but the story is interesting and only until the very last scene we learned who was the real thieve.
Congratulations and good luck at the contest.

Very good. You pulled me in and then pounced. Well done. pat

I was captivated by this from the beginning, but still, I never saw the ending coming! Your writing is very descriptive, it's almost as if you can actually hear and see what they are doing. I saw no mistakes. Please keep up the great work!

Hi Janilou,

Your ending was so unexpected! That is a sign of a good story teller. You gave perfect descriptions of the man in the army blanket, very believable. A good story that I enjoyed reading...Good luck in the contest...blessings...chey
