Fantastic writing! This is what I call "mastery"

Remarkable flow of the story and characters. your style and voice is so unique, as your writing engages the reader in its tantalizing web.

Tommy brought me home 'cause I was too drunk to drink. My truck's still parked at The Moon." Drive - I think.
The kid spends the night at whats-his-face's place all the time anymore - do you mean anyway?
If I had a six I would give it to you for this well written (and very original) Halloween story. The character descriptions are excellent.
A great write.
Cheers
Rose

Wow Bob!!! Now this is a great write for this season. YOur words carry so much weight around this story but yet are light and airy to be understood by all readers!!!


He wouldn't know that his temper had jarred one of the lighted pumpkins. It fell-- tumbled to the floor, and it's candle bounced out onto the floor-length curtains.

Great imagery here you!!!

'cause I was too drunk to drink. My truck's still parked at The Moon." Should that be drive or did you do that on purpose?
Very good story. The description of the neighborhood and the trailor and the characters were awesome. The end a little predictable. very good story and well writen. Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks, Kemosabie. Yeah, I did that on purpose...It's like..."Take me drunk bartender, I'm home." Yeah, the ending was a bit predictable but what the hey....it was fun to read wasn't it? hope so....Bob

He was so vindictive that if he had a family crest, it would say, "I will cut off my nose to spite my face," and emblazoned on the crest would be the profile of a man without a nose
What a fine paragraph just brilliant stuff
The pace is fast and upbeat
the characters are well voiced and lively
The plot is a very strong and interesting one
Well done
the flow is good

I like the style of your writing, but think it would be much stronger in an active voice format.
It's a very good story...sounds like it could be personal, and all of the necessary emotions are there.
Nice work.

You present a very nice picture with your use of adjectives. You bring the whole scene vividly to lofe in my mind. I enjoyed your story immensely. It's too bad there are so many miserable people in the world. Good job. I look forward to reading more from you in the future.

    Ooooh. I would hope I have not been overdoing adjectives, Wolfwind....you mean descriptions? (a slight difference, right) Thanks so much for your time and your review. I appreciate it...
