Comment from Thomas Blanks
I liked the message of hope in an almost hopeless situation, a ray of sunshine in the dark world - all from a photo. If you care about the formatting being consistent, you have a space after every sentence except after the first one.

Of course my mind flashed to Ukraine when I read this flash fiction. I could be anywhere, but this conflict is uppermost in the media at the moment, so it is in the forefront, beautifully written Zanya, good luck, blessings Roy

Comment from GARY MACLEAN
A reality mad all too real. You know there are many, many men who are looking at the pictures of their wives and kids thinking the same thing. When in the next instant they could be eliminated.

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Excellent entry for the 50 Word Flash Fiction writing prompt contest. Your poem is so sad. Is it about Ukraine?
Good words count and story line. A great presentation and imagery. It flows well with descriptive words that paint a clear mental picture.
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Bill Schott
This fifty-word flash fiction story, A Pic, has the required word count and gives the readers an instance of finding the hope amidst the desolation. Good job.

Comment from Tom Horonzy
Even in war there remains a hope, maybe slight or much, much more. The craziness of war is it has never ended. Paused for a time now and then but Satan always has his hand stirring trouble somewhere it seems. The last thing to add is to ask, what is it good for? (Edwin Star)

Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
This is so well-written, I find it hard to believe it is fiction. It reeks of personal experience, and you could be describing events of this year in Eastern Europe, or recent years elsewhere - tragic. Kate xx

Comment from Wendy G
A sad story, but probably very timely and relevant. Just knowing thy are okay gives hope and a sense of optimism. A fine social commentary on current events in a few words. Best wishes for your entry.

Comment from Carolyn Dooley
Thankfully, this is fiction. However, the wife and child are fine. And I bet it would be hot in the basement when the temperature is hot and humid outdoors. It would be a terrible situation during a war. Especially not knowing if your loved ones are alive. Thank you for sharing.

This small piece does have a beginning, a build of tension and a resolution. It is sparse, as it must be for the contest. The language is plain and straight forward.
Thanks for a good read.
