  • The Old Lady That Tends the Graveyard. on June 17, 2011
    star star star
    I liked the overall concept and story and could hear the Beatle's Eleanor Rigby in my mind as I read the beginning. The ending felt like is was wrapped up in a hurry and could have had a bit more development. Overall, good job :)

    Nice short piece about life and our proportionality in relation to the rest of the universe. Pleasantly optimistic and fun to read. I live by Whidbey Island, WA and it was nice to hear it mentioned :)
  • Today, I Told a Lie (a short story) on Aug. 02, 2011

    A nice short story with an interesting conclusion. I thought Frankie's character was a bit extreme, but I understand why Mr. Crane wrote him that way. Even though the story was in first person, the word "I" could have been used a bit less, although that's just a personal preference as a writer myself. Overall, a good entertaining story worth a read.
