Wake Up! Benjamin Card
This is classified as 'horror' but I found it so deep and moving. It simply isn't a piece one can read and walk away from without some thought. For me I have to revisit the piece a couple more times. Being so wrapped up in the story it was difficult for me to even look for mistakes etc.
For a first draft? Which I think he mentioned but could be wrong.. this is a jewel.
Personally touched by the characters and their dilemmas. I have really been quite moved by the excellent writing I have been honored to read and review. Really impressive.

I was also impressed. Pitch in and help Ben. He needs a good Filliamization.
I don't think I've evr come across the premise he's using for this fine short story. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and may take a stab at that premise (pun intended Ben).
Highly recommended.

I went to post a recommendation for same short story by Benjamin Card. Instead, I'll second flo's recommendation. A truly invocative piece of writing.
