[Karn's Return]

I think I am going to have to wait until the challenge is closed before getting back to reviews...I'm too far behind on them now. And I'm still busy on this project of mine, ugh. It should have been done days ago.

 

[Daysman]

Very belated thanks for reviews from both @Victoria Silverwolf & @Parson

Kind regards

 

[D.A. Xiaolin Spires]

@Parson Thank you for the reviews!

Thanks @scarpelius!

 

[Fivestrings]

@Pedro Del Mar .... The Curious Significance of 12:34 .... Pedro tells a tale that begs the question where does coincidence end and cosmic significance begin.

@Perpetual Man .... Big Numbers .... I don't what to say about Perp's story. It's both erudite and memorable. It will stand forever in the short story hall of fame. The nuance is beyond belief, and yet it takes a clear moral stand for everything that is right and good in the world. It has the perfect title because anything less than Big Numbers would have failed to catch the eternal significance of this binary blessing.

@Fivestrings .... Just Stop Counting .... Fivestrings puts down a tale that reminds us that we can be masters of our own fate with only a little bit of trying.

A little behind on the etiquette here. Thanks @Parson for the review.
A 10 minute off the cuff, which I enjoyed doing, having not been here for several months.

It's never wise to let life get in the way of Chronning.

 

[Parson]

@chrispenycate .... Re-Generation .... Chris goes poetic once again as he reminds us one and all that organization of even those of lesser strength but greater numbers forms a not to be discounted force for change.

 

[Parson]

@Hugh .... Longing .... Hugh lets us know that sometimes longing can make it so, even when the numbers are vast beyond comprehending.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Ahhh...except when indulging in meanderings in the otherlife; that's different. Or sleeping for years. ;-)

Many thanks to Parson and Victoria for their reviews - better than the work they were reviewing, I fear.

Careful what you say Chrispy, you aren't immune from a slap.

I know that feeling... they always make feel like I have written the winner! Unfortunately reality soon bites.

What Nixie Said!

 

[Parson]

@M. Robert Gibson .... A Single Occurrence Upon A Time .... M. Rob has cracked a fairy tale for us that most assuredly does not end "and they all lived happily ever after."

@SPoots .... Can't Lose .... SPoots does a tragic turn on the "Playing the Numbers" game.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

36. M. Robert Gibson: A playful variation on familiar tales, with an ending that ties everything up into a Möbius strip.

37. SPoots: A deceptively familiar account of a lottery, with a revelation that casts new light on our own time.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

38. Peter V: A chilling tale of unpredictable fate, with an open-ended conclusion to fire the imagination.

 

[Pedro Del Mar]
