WARNING - spoilers in the reviews below. Read later! This is a well written story with an entertaining ending. It is a pleasure to read something on Smashwords so well constructed. Great job!

In 'Straight', Zverina strikes a wonderful balance between darkness and light, between reason and insanity and in a few short paragraphs opens up for us a glimpse into the delicate relationship between man and nature. A stroke of genius!

Review by: Donald H Sullivan on Sep. 11, 2012 : star star star star
Great imagery; I could visualize all the scenes. Having written a story where a dog was the main protag, I could identify with a horse as first person (or should that be first equine?) When I reached the end, my first thought was that the story went nowhere, and the reader was left dangling.
But then I saw the story. As I saw it the cowboy, after being jilted, went off the deep end, and set out to show his ex lover what a great guy she had lost. But even a deranged mind would realize that roping in the sun was a preposterous idea. Subconsciously, he was he was just determined to do himself in to "show" her. Well, anyhow that's how I saw it.
It was an entertaining read.
