Summary:A few folks urgerd me to write more of these verses, but I don't have thant many friends, so I decided I could write them about characters as another reviewer suggested. A Clarihew (look it up in Wikipedia) is a verse that has four lines that rhymes A-A, B-B and is read without meter. It written about a person and is humorous but not satrical or sarcastic.Chapters: |

 | Family Reunion | F. Jo Bruce | Short Story | Humor | 7 | 1.49 | Mar 10, 2013 |
Summary:In the Deep South, nothing is more important than family reunions. These events are a once-a-year or not that often, of coming together to see everyone, how much the children have grown, talk about the ones who aren't there and why.
In "Family Reunion" two cousins in the family home town set the date, make the arrangements and host the reunion. Together, these ladies know everything about everybody in the family. They work hard to make a good presentation, can't wait to see various cousins, aunts and uncles, and assorted children. They also can't wait for them to leave and to be able to talk about everyone before and aft. No matter how bad someone is put down, a smile and hug will greet them upon arrival.
Feedback I'm looking for is how much the story was enjoyed or not, if it is entertaining, and most of all if it pulls you in and/or takes you back to something or somewhere in your life. Chapters: |

Summary:"On Friday, January 28, 1977 a natural disaster struck Canada and the United States. Southern portions of the province of Ontario and parts of western and northern New York State were besieged by the blizzard of the century and millennium. During this winter hurricane, the temperature plunged to near zero Fahrenheit as hurricane force winds roared across the frozen surface of Lake Erie. Temperature and wind combined to create a wind chill of 60 below zero. Visibility was also zero and remained there from 11:30 a.m on the 28th until 12:50 a.m on the 29th of January. The storm did not subside until February. Wind gusts over 50 miles per hour occurred each day with official peaks ranging between 69 and 73 miles per hour."Chapters: |

 | The English Pie Maker | dagnee | Short Story | Humor | 4 | 1.27 | Feb 5, 2013 |
Summary:It's true I got mad at an elitist Brit, but he was also my friend and this short story was a joke/revenge/joke...I couldn't decide, but he loved it when he read it, although he told others he did not, however he directed them to the page where they could read it...lol...The reason Simon was mentioned so much in the text is because that is his name. His boorish stories are mentioned often because Simon was known for going on...and on....and on...But this story is special too. It's the first short story I'd written in a very long time. It flowed out of me in five hours and reminded me why I write. It's also the reason I choose this site. Thanks for reading. Any corrections or suggestions welcome, does it make you laugh and hold your attention? This is satire. Chapters: |

A whole group of near brain dead humans (men and women) ski straight down mountains, explore active volcanoes, bicycle down the Amazon, jump motorcycles over the Grand Canyon and surf 80 foot waves. I'm pretty sure our zombie friends would want in on this kind of sports actions and the big bucks that come with hefty advertiser endorsement contracts for extreme sports and death defying stupidity.=== what is funnier than zombies playing professional sports? Wait, maybe the steroids, concussions, performance-enhancing drugs already make sports extremesters into zombies. eh? Chapters: |
