You do have to wonder about some characters and how their mind operates. Human beings are so very diverse, aren't they? Not just coming in all shapes and sizes but having all sorts of mindsets as well. Good luck in the contest.

Interesting writing as a commentary on the battle between darkness and light. Since you asked for input, from my perspective, God has been the only one powerful enough to overcome dark impulses that are a part of human nature. I believe it's a struggle that we all have to deal with and only win the battle with God's help. Thanks for sharing! Bill

    Thank you for your review and rating. I appreciate your input, and I might add you have understood the meaning of the writing. It is a test of good VS evil and whether it is god or the devil that wins the soul. Thank you for reading.

Hello SL,
You've written an excellent flash story for the contest.
The human condition is fragile in many ways,
even small changes can have major impacts on the mind
the heart, and behavior.
Darkness is difficult to overcome once it gets a hold of a person.
Well done
Good luck in the contest
Robert

    Thank you for your review and rating. I agree darkness is hard to overcome once it has a hold on the mind and heat, but also the soul. There are times when someone can see the light through the darkness and overcome. Thank you for reading.

An interesting reflection in this flash fiction entry, Sandra. The battle between light and dark, between good and evil, is a constant one. Some reach a breaking point sooner that others. It seems that having a strong faith in something and a strong self-concept determine who holds out the longest.

    Thank you for your review and rating. I agree with you about a strong faith in something. Working as a Hospice Nurse I see this everyday. The ones with a strong faith in something have a peaceful easy death, while those that have no belief or faith in anything fight the whole way. Thank you for reading.

A very deep and true fact in paragraph one. It is very well written and powerful opening paragraph. Paragraph two is also well written and powerful. You have done great, keep it up!

Hi there,

this is a difficult one to review as it doesn't appear to be an actual story which is what the competition calls for. it's more a treatise on the psyche.

The ponderances are thoughtful & thought-provoking and it is well-written but I feel it doesn't meet the story requirement, if you see what I mean.
