Hello my friend

Great entry for the Final Words writing prompt contest. The letter is very sad but that's to be expected. Nice presentation.

The theme of the alcoholic clown made it even sadder.

That is very powerful piece. I could feel the pain and heartache they felt as they wrote the letter. How at the end they could see what they should have done, but it is too late to go back then. It is a wonderful message to appreciate everything you have to bad he took his life.

My only critique for your letter is the description of it as "A silly note to death." This is the saddest and most heartfelt description of a life spiraling down a tunnel of despair. One can feel the pain and sorrow, and the emotional twists that foretell the rejection of hope. Wonderful image matching your wonderful words... ...ec

What you describe is the dark thoughts that crowd many peoples minds. I thought this was really engaging and you drew me into your character's world, even though it covers a very dark topic. A well written piece. Good luck in the contest!

This is a fresh angle--confession of a suicidal clown--sobering moral to repent before it's too late and e happy with what you have! Good luck. Cheers. LIZ

This is a very clever, creative and profound story. The photo accompanying this story is perfect. There are numerous typos that you need to clean up. We would suggest that you should read everything again and edit it. The reason that you're getting a 5тн? review is because it's such a beautiful message. Best of luck in the contest. Have a wonderful night.

Poor ole Geronimo, but not too hard to understand. During the virus clowns have also had to facetime or other social media. Must be really hard to get gigs. A well written piece that makes an excellent entry for the contest. Good luck.

Hi there,
Well, I take it this really is fiction, and has such, is very powerful. We know there really are people in great despair, who find comfort in the bottom of a bottle--God help them!
Back to your words, which are powerful and thought provoking.
They are a worthy entrance into the competition.
I wish you well - both in the competition and in life.
Regards, Pete.

    Thank you so much Pete, I have a couple of friends that use the bottle as a refugee when they face harsh times.

Very sad. I thought the protagonist was going to be cynical to the end but he seemed to reach clarity at the end. I was left hoping, maybe in vain, that it wasnt too late. Great job. Have a wonderful week. Gretchen
