    "Let's just do this and get this over with" is the mindset, being like this for as long as he can remember, he lives in his own world and everything is just normal, FOR HIM, at least, until college came, and everything in his "normal" world is about to be turned upside down. (I would liek to apologize in advance for the bad words, it's necessary for characterization, I'm so sorry.)

    Beginning in the year 1260, the short stories of Baltica follow the lives of five characters: Sigismund, Halvar, Juula, Riina, and Everard as they navigate life in the eastern Baltic under Christian occupation. Each set of short stories is told in a non-linear manner, expanding on events transpiring over an eighteen year period (1242-1260)

    Very good poem here. I really like the timing and pace.

    Member Avatar

    Well, it is very short. However, it seems as if it begging to make it longer. Why not do so?

    You have some mixed tenses in here. You need to clean that up. On the plus, very good imagery.

    Member Avatar

    Indeed, man.

    Member Avatar

    Okay, a few things.
    You have a good plot here. You could very easily expand and develop this. Nice job.

    Now, the issues.
    You need to format this. It makes it much easier to read.
    You have some run-on sentences. Edit them and trim them.
    You have mixed tenses. Pick a tense and stick to it.

    Member Avatar

    Oh wow. This is really dark and really scary. Nice job.

    Now the bad side. You need a bit of formatting on this.

    Member Avatar

    Superb. Sadly, I fear, only a dream.

    Member Avatar

    Perhaps, not so much a poem as a prayer?

    Very nice.

    Naaah. <img class='smiley' style='width:20px;height:20px;' src='../images/smiley/grin.svg' alt='Grin'>

    Member Avatar

    "As the enemy captain road away ..." this should be "rode away" You have several examples of this in this posting.

    Try some formatting and double-spacing. It is easier to read and easier for the eyes.
    Also, you could easily break this into two or three chapters. Give that a thought.

    A good story, it just needs a bit of cleaning.

    Member Avatar

    Very nice.
    It could use some formatting.

    Member Avatar

    Or maybe you are a devout bachelor because you have felt the pain of heartache? Just a thought.

    Member Avatar

    Very nice, because it is very true.

    Member Avatar

    lol Very good Don. But you left one out.
    Those guys a prodigious consumers of cocaine. So, maybe you could go into sales.

    Member Avatar

    Very good. Nicely done. However, I think of this more as a poem then prose.

    Member Avatar

    Superb! A wonderfully entertaining poem.

    Member Avatar

    I like this. Very thought-provoking. Well done.

    Are you too old for this shit?

    Member Avatar

    Okay, I like the flow. But the meaning escapes me. Who are, or what is, Bresson and al-Tawhidi?

    Good point here. Well worth discussing. But not by me. <img class='smiley' style='width:20px;height:20px;' src='../images/smiley/cool.svg' alt='Cool'>

    Very nice. A quite good piece of fantasy.

    Wonderful. Amazing, sometimes, what you discover when you lose a loved one.

    Member Avatar

    lmao! Very good, Don!
    Oh, good to have you back.

    Member Avatar

    Same comments as before. You need to edit, and you need to take some time to structure you plot.

    Member Avatar

    Let's see.... You have an island in a lake, then Paris, then the tropics, and finally Rio. You are bouncing all over the place here. You need to fix it.

    Member Avatar

    See my previous comment.
    Also, you move too quickly with the plot. You need to slow down a bit and let things develop.

    Member Avatar

    You need a good proofreading. Something here tells me that English is not your first language. That is why you need an editor.

    Now, to the plot. I want to see where this goes. Please continue.

    Member Avatar

    Okay, coming along nicely. You need a spellcheck on this one.
    And still no cows grazing for milk! <img class='smiley' style='width:20px;height:20px;' src='../images/smiley/cool.svg' alt='Cool'>

    Member Avatar

    What a marvelous observation on the human experience!

    Member Avatar

    This is interesting, but there are some issues.
    The use of spoken slang adds a lot to the story, but you have way to much. You can trim it a bit.
    You also need to break up the paragraphs. As Don said, you have a wall of words.

    Member Avatar

    "Dairies of Selena" a dairy is a farm, where one raised cows for there milk. I have seen no mention of cows or farms in the last two stories. <img class='smiley' style='width:20px;height:20px;' src='../images/smiley/smile.svg' alt='Smile'>
    Perhaps you should change the title to "Diaries of Selena."

    Member Avatar

    "Started to read it out loud. My voice was echoing through my thoughts in my head. " - The first part of this is an incomplete sentence. You need to fix things like this.

    Will this be continued?

    Member Avatar

    This is interesting. I want to see where it goes.
    You have some rough sentence structure and paragraph structure. I would look to that.

    This ended strongly. Well done.

    Member Avatar

    This was an entertaining read. Thoroughly enjoyed!

    Member Avatar

    The end of this is strong, especialy the final two sentences. Thanks for sharing.

    Member Avatar

    You make an excellent comment on your writing. Well done.

    Member Avatar

    <img class='smiley' style='width:20px;height:20px;' src='../images/smiley/grin.svg' alt='Grin'> Nicely done, Don.

    Member Avatar

    Cowardice? I think not. Practical would be the word I would use.

    Member Avatar

    lol Very good Dan. I would not want to live like that, though. The heat would drive me nuts.

    Member Avatar

    I like this. A quite true observation. You celebrate the small, day-to-day victories.

    Member Avatar

    It does the trick, Kt. <img class='smiley' style='width:20px;height:20px;' src='../images/smiley/grin.svg' alt='Grin'>
