You all did a great job on your stories. I have to say you are a brave bunch to attempt flash fiction. I can't do it. Anything under 2,000 words and I'm lost (and I have difficulty with that small an amount to be honest). But all of you presented a fully realized tale with good characters and interesting ideas. Some quick impressions of each:
Angela: I like the scene where she sees her picture with the notes underneath. That would be a chilling thing to see indeed.
My Father: I really like the idea of missing the fact that one could no longer see what they looked like anymore. I think the longer time passed the loss would magnify.
Holes: I like the reason for the holes everywhere. I got a good sense of the state the world was in as well.
Forbidden Love: - I thought it was a great period piece and liked the moral dilemma presented.
First Date: The Alzheimer idea was brilliant and I thought the main character was well fleshed out.
Filling the Abyss: I really liked the descriptions here, particularly with the sounds. I got a good sense of the atmosphere and environment.
Perfect Woman: I thought the dialog was well presented. The conversation at dinner seemed especially natural and conveyed a good bit of needed information to boot.
The Last First Date: This was my favorite story. I like the evil supernatural elements within, particularly the voice on the recording. I thought it was a well crafted piece that conveyed a lot of menance and dread.
Great job done by all.
