This is really good writing. I like that the punctuation and spelling are all correct and that it appears very professional and well done. I know nothing of Greek theology, but Charon's laughter was enough to give me the chills.

I liked this. And I was so glad you put the author notes because it really helped me understand what was going on. You did a great job and if they had taught school like this I might have actually learned something. lol

Hooray for entertainment and education - it is the teacher's dream come true!! ;) :) Thanx for your review on this one: I do so enjoy playing with a presence of mythology in the present -- kindof an easy escape when you don't have a lot of time on your hands! And who doesn't like the 'quick escape' without chemical assistance?! LOL! ;) :) :) Take care and have an awesome week out there!! ;) Yvette

I think this is a good entry for the Flash Fiction Writing contest.
This short story is well told with a twist at the end.
Nicely done and I wish you luck with the contest.

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello Yvette. I have virtually no knowledge of Greek mythology except for the labyrinth that was built by Icarus's Daddy and only that because I was on Crete in the late sixties.
Good luck in the contest. This is a strong contender.

Hope I have enough coin to get a ride, Yvette. :) Then again, Does Charon accepts I.O.U.'s? No? Guess I'll have to swim the murky water. I like the setup and the story. This is a good entry for the Flash Fiction Writing Contest.

Hello Yvette, a fantastic Friday to you. I hope this finds you well, in good health and spirit. I liked your story, it was an enjoyable read. Nothing ruins your night like finding out you're dead. Well, at least you get one last drink. lol Good job and good luck in the contest.

Comment from karenina
This was one HELL of a story. (Sorry--sometimes I can't help myself)--
Seriously your turn of a phrase, your setting of a scene screams that you are a gifted writer... Clever twist on the whole Greek tale, as well. You packed a whole lot into this flash fiction and I found it to be a most interesting read.--Karenina

The best escapes turn out to be without chemical assistance....(laughing)----Although I confess, on occasion a bit of libation does perk up my muse!--Karenina

Comment from ciliverde
This is fantastic, thank you. Would you believe that I am reading the Inferno right now? I loved your story, and do wonder what Hades will make of Charles' life? Not to mention Brandy...
Well done, what a fun read :))

Oh, Carol, you are too awesome!! What a wonderful review, my friend -- I am so very glad you enjoyed this one (even though it could be considered 'dark', I guess...didn't set out to write dark, but I just go with the muses, ya know?) I've always enjoyed playing with a presence of mythology in the present -- kindof an easy escape when you don't have a lot of time on your hands! And who doesn't like the 'quick escape' without chemical assistance?! LOL! ;) :) :) Take care and have an awesome weekend up there - those stars have already brightened mine!! ;) Yvette
