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.

Re: Wake Up! Benjamin Card

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.
