[FF] Write a story only using haikus. | In two thousand four
I found a book to love; I
Read it many times.
Its hero was Dexter,
A serial killer cop
Who hunts down bad guys.
I was enthralled.
So original, so odd,
Yet funny, with heart.
Eighteen months later,
Showtime made a TV show
About my Dexter,
And for a season
It was everything the boo... | 1 | 0 | 14 | 21,973 |
[WP] While driving, I saw two old men hugging in the parking lot. Tell me why. | As I came out of the hospital, I saw him. I stopped. I stared at this man for what seemed like forever. He was holding a bouquet of flowers; Lilies. They were her favorite. I haven't seen him in thirty years. I hated him.
I studied him. An expensive suit, a shiny watch by some expensive jeweler. Purple silk kerchief s... | 8 | 0 | 16 | 21,974 |
[WP] While driving, I saw two old men hugging in the parking lot. Tell me why. | "It's been a long time, Martin," he said.
I stood, unable to move, with the grocery bags dangling from my hands like buckets in the bottom of a well, swinging from a long, rotten rope. My arms weren't rotten yet, but they hurt every day and I couldn't move them in half the ways my grandson could.

[WP] While driving, I saw two old men hugging in the parking lot. Tell me why. | John was a young mobster. He was ready to make a name for himself but that involved killing another. Being 25 and ambitious he decided he would take out an old favorite from 39th street NYC. The mans name was "Old Al" and he was a former hitman for the Italian mob.

[WP] A racist plantation owner/slave trader falls asleep and wakes up on a late night New York City subway train packed with an ultra-diverse crowd. | I imagine the subway, with its noise, lights, and movement would be a shock. Then he would say something unfortunate and find himself in a servile insurrection. Or someone would take pity on the poor insane fool and hand him over to some nice cops before he gets himself killed. I give him a little better than 50\50 dep... | 1 | 0 | 8 | 21,978 |

[WP] The Perfect Plan. | "Everyone's ready, sir."

[PI] DREAM FLUX -- FEB CONTEST | Hi! I really liked your story. Nicely written, good action. The pace is a bit fast; you've put a lot of plot into a small space and I encourage you to draw the story out a little more by making it a longer work post-contest. There's enough plot here for an actual novel, and with more length you can spend some more time... | 2 | 0 | 16 | 21,983 |
[PI] DREAM FLUX -- FEB CONTEST | I really enjoyed this entry. A lot. I felt like I was watching an action/sci-fi/thriller while I was reading it.
My number one critique: You reveal the mystery far too quickly. I think you could stand to have it called the Device or the Generator up until the point Michael calls it by it's proper name near the end.

[PI] DREAM FLUX -- FEB CONTEST | This was a really good one. Your writing style really appealed to me and I liked the structure of the narrative.
