[WP] A very old tree which allows people in its shade to completely understand each other. Someone has come to destroy it.	A man is traipsing up the hill, axe in hand. He reaches the top and stood before the gigantic tree. The man wets his lips and steps into the tree's shade. As he stepps in, he notices a boy in the corner of his periphery. The boy is smiling warmly, the summer breeze flowing through his hair. The man watches him and his ...	3	169	22,600
[WP] A very old tree which allows people in its shade to completely understand each other. Someone has come to destroy it.	The Old Tree by the lake was, in my opinion the only true wonder of the world. Being charged with its protection, I made sure only the sincere made it within reach of it's enlightening shade. It was a Sunday, the one day of the week nobody was allowed to visit the tree, when a man in a black suit came up to it, wield...	13	169	22,601
[WP] A very old tree which allows people in its shade to completely understand each other. Someone has come to destroy it.	High stone walls stretched up and around, attempting to blot out the horizon with a solid line of stone. The wall extended ominously in front of Ava, casting a shadow onto the ground before it. Nothing grew there, in the dark patches cast by the wall. She tightened her hold on her horse's reigns as she approached the l...	5	169	22,602
[WP] A very old tree which allows people in its shade to completely understand each other. Someone has come to destroy it.	The old man sat on the dirt with his back against the tree. The tree which had stopped wars, the tree which had saved his marriage with his sweet Marla, the tree that saved his son from his dark path. The tree rustled, sprinkling the old man with leaves. A figure appeared not very far away. He was clad in leather armo...	1	169	22,603
[WP] A very old tree which allows people in its shade to completely understand each other. Someone has come to destroy it.	She approached the tree, axe in hand. As far back as her peoples' history extended, the Knowing Tree, as it had come to be called since before her grandfathers grandfather was a boy, had stood in the clearing. A relic of an ancient age, all who stood in it's shade were granted understanding and peace. Would be conque...	7	169	22,604

It wasn't long before war broke out after the discovery of The Sympathetic Shade. We still have not found The Fountain of Youth or managed to skillfully perform alchemy, but humanity stumbled upon a special tree three short years ago. This tree has the remarkable ability to mend and coalesce the consciousness of two in...	1	169	22,605
[WP] A very old tree which allows people in its shade to completely understand each other. Someone has come to destroy it.	I saw his body begin to quake. Well, not at first. At first he stood there, statuesque, full of pride, the epitome of strength. This aged marine was the embodiment of discipline, self-control, and brutal abuse. I took my dad to the cove in hopes of him seeing me for who I was, understanding that I am not a broken...	2	169	22,606

[WP] A very old tree which allows people in its shade to completely understand each other. Someone has come to destroy it.	Winter had come early this year. The barren branches bespoke a quiet dignity. Nobody rested among the exposed roots. Nobody nuzzled into the grassless patches worn away by countless others. This behemoth tree maintained the unique ability for those in its watchful shadow to completely understand each other. Conflicts h...	1	169	22,608

The Rinpoche sat in lotus position in the tactical command center on Airfortress Alpha, and waited nervously for a report that his elite paratrooper squad had landed.

My voice is a whisper that catches along my throat and barely drags past my teeth. “Please, let me understand who you are.” You stand there out of the shade, just out of reach. I stand here enveloped and waiting, nestled against the knotted and burled trunk. I want to hate you, to ra...	2	169	22,611
[WP] A very old tree which allows people in its shade to completely understand each other. Someone has come to destroy it.	I relaxed in the shade of the large oak tree in my backyard. It was a hot, sticky, summer day, like so many before it. I laid back, staring into the branches of the lovely tree. This tree had been through it all. Through the death of my dad in Germany in '45, through my mother's death a year later. This tree had been m...	1	169	22,612

The walls around the shrine are seventy feet tall, made of an amalgamation of stone, steel-cement, stress and fear.

[PI] Eternal Earth - FEB CONTEST	I liked the idea of starting from an alien POV. I also liked the twist at the end, explaining why Jennica had to be the one to go.

Your writing is technically proficient, but I found it swung from dry to m...	3	11	22,615
[PI] Eternal Earth - FEB CONTEST	This is a novella that I feel could stand to be a little bit longer, the end left me wanting more!

[PI] Eternal Earth - FEB CONTEST	Because there are so many stories to read, I'm going to give two pieces of positive feedback and two pieces of negative feedback.

[PI] Eternal Earth - FEB CONTEST	I really enjoyed it! Solid characterisation, and it's well written. I thought it was well paced, personally.

[PI] Eternal Earth - FEB CONTEST	>she traced a long finger around the window, connecting speckles of stars to one another. I like that part. It sounds like something a bored space traveler would do.

[PI] Eternal Earth - FEB CONTEST	I agree with the majority of the points around here. I felt like I was reading a book about a thirteen year old girl, not a twenty-three year old.

[PI] Eternal Earth - FEB CONTEST	Hey, I don't really have anything new to add that other reviewers haven't already mentioned (Jennica's immaturity, contrived nature of the plot).

[PI] Wolf Block - FEB CONTEST	This was a good read. I think that climax was a little rushed, because you go into so much detail, describing your protagonist as a closed-minded person and she folds comparatively quickly. It also feels like only the first chapter of a much larger story, which would make sense, since its relatively short. Anyways, t...	2	9	22,634
[PI] Wolf Block - FEB CONTEST	Hi! I liked this story. Your writing is good and clear, and I was drawn in by wanting to know what Wolf Block is. You did a nice job establishing the mystery.

Sleep seem to be the only place I find refuge these days. A crappy job, a crappy apartment, and a crappy social life. At least when I sleep, I can dream.

[PI] Forever Mask - FEB CONTEST	I wish I could express how much I enjoyed this. I liked the writing style very much and I liked this universe.

[PI] Forever Mask - FEB CONTEST	I enjoyed it, but I agree with you that it needs rewriting. Here's some things to keep in mind when you tackle it: Word repetition.

They don't understand my plight nor sympathy for my cause; they stare with eyes full of judgment and I can see the hatred behind them... even as a man of reason, I'm finding this decision difficult.
