“Beth, please. Keep still.” I was being stubborn on purpose. My aunt Alicia was trying to tie a bow in my hair. The ribbon was black. I’d never worn a ribbon before, and I was not about to start today. “I don’t want it!” I insisted again. My young aunt gave up in a huff of frustration. “Fine, then!” she shouted a bit too loudly. “Put on the hat, then.” “Lizzie?” my father asked...

I was wondering if people would like to post links to potential markets for short stories we geniuses write. I'm doing this because I am not alway sure which are worth it. For example, several of the folks here have had shorts published in A Twist of Noir. Now, I would not have known this to be a reputable, worthwhile endeavor if you guys hadn't bragged about it in the Braggatorium. Is ...

Hey guys, as a brand new n00b I would love some constructive criticism on this one. I wrote it for a course I'm doing, it's not the genre I usually write in but I thought I'd give it a go. I'll post up some of the stuff I usually write (fantasy/horror genre) some other time but I though, as this is so unlike my usual writing, any criticism will be easier to take! Let me know what you think, I'd ...

Hey guys, I'm writing a story about a teenaged girl living in Dublin in 1921, the midst of the Irish war for freedom. I want her to be involved in the IRA. But what kind of jobs would the IRA have a teenaged girl do? I need ideas and possibly historical background. Would she be assigned to spying (if so how and on what), fighting, or sabatoge (if so what?) PLEASE HELP! THANK ...

The Girl with One Eye I woke up in a dark place; I think it’s a cave. I can barely see a thing with my eye, it’s so dark…my empty, left eye cavity is still numb but now a little burning pain is starting to kick in. My beautiful green eye is gone, he took a knife and cut it out of my skull…he stole it from me. It’s so quiet; all I can hear is drops of water smashing against the sharp, cold ...

Since having my daughter who is 2 1/2 and finding out we are expecting another little in March 2010 I've wanted to stay home full time and raise her myself! So I went in search of a home business even though I never thought someone like me could be a stay at home mom -- I'm no doctor's wife. What I found is the most positive experience that has enabled me to be home with her and ...

usually when i write its about horror and the supernatural, so i tried to go in a bit of a new approach and really limited what would be the actual horror about this short story, also some lines are from the song the call by regina spektor im not trying to rip off or anything. also there are most likely a fair few amounts of spelling and grammatical errors. bear with me and enjoy :) t was the...

I'm taking a class on Homer's the Odyssey this semester. Our latest assignment is to write a modern reinterpretation of the poem, similar to what James Joyce did with Ulysses. I chose to reinterpret two scenes, Odysseus on the island with Calypso and Odysseus returning home and killing the suitors who are trying to marry his wife. The story will probably make a lot more sense to you if you've ...

I'd forgotten that I had written this short story. I think I may have posted it here a couple of years ago. After reading it again I realise that I still like it, so I shall post it again. So, if you wish to read it, and have a few minutes to spare, please do so. Green Wall and The Lady I awoke sometime in the middle of the night, too tired to turn on the light to check the clock...

Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story gets the long story review. [SIZE=3]Great looking shape, appearance looked good but slight lift on wrapper in 2 places (was in open display in humidor). Band had been set slightly off which detracted from the overall appearance, this should have been paid more attention at manufacturing for a premium product.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Took to the light easily and ...
