To those that voted for my fiction, i quite appreciate. May you be blessed. I dedicate this Flash fiction to the Leaders of Tommorow. Just as some of us grew up inculcating the values we got from parables, THE PRODIGAL SON, i take as an example, that is how i also wish that this young ones and every other youths will grow up bearing this in mind that CONFIDENCE IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS AT ANYTHING. Watch out for more mature Flash fictions that can be compared to The Aesopica from me. |

Mathicks:You said i should help review urs. Well, all i can say is that ur Fiction is good, i think it tries to bring out one thing that's happens in the inner circle of life. Yes it's true, we find fun narrating our past mishaps and misfortunes to others and the reason for that is not definite. Hope that's what you are trying to communicate? Anyway i thinked you flawed in the sense that you made it so ambiguous for a Flash fiction thereby making the Literary appreciation not to cut accross all spheres of life. |

I actually tried to communicate two things... The 2nd being that if we find ourselves in any place, we actually try to act indifferent. David did not understand what Chidinma and Tony were saying, but he smiled like he actually did understand. Which brings a kind of mockery. They could actually be laughing at him in reality..lol. Anyway , thanks for the review. YOU CAN VOTE FOR MORE THAN ONE PERSON .... plsss vote here http://etisalatprize.com/life-is-just-funny/ |

Re: Review an entry for the Etisalat Prize For Literature. by amiebeauty(f): 2:28pm On Oct 11, 2013 |
below is an excerpt of the story.............. Nnaemeka Ugochukwu / Nigeria Title: Unforeseen As I step into the house, it’s empty. At least it feels so. I bound up the stairs two at a time and get to the landing. I turn left headed to my studio. I do not hear the sounds at first-maybe because I don’t expect it- but it slowly registers in my consciousness. I turn back and head to the source of the sound; my bedroom. As I get closer, I get this eerie feeling like they do in movies and I feel goosebumps all over. The sound continues; tap tap tap. The house is tiled and I make no sound as I walk towards the door. When I get to the door, it’s ajar. Nothing strange about that. Am not particular about closing doors or bringing down the toilet cover. The sound stops as I touch the door handle. A loud silence envelopes the house. If I were watching a movie, I would probably call the actor a fool for going ahead to enter the room. I open the door. As I step into the room, I receive a heavy shove and I fall headlong on the floor. As I struggle to turn around, my attacker pounces on me. The knife in his hands tries to plunge into my chest. I grab his hands and we struggle for a few seconds. The blade slices my hand and I let go for a fraction of a second. The knife comes racing down towards me. I know am about to die cos my whole life flashes before me. The knife descends. And that’s when the Director yells “Cut!” I heave a sigh of relief. My attacker stands up and helps me to my feet. My name is Tony Adams and am an actor. http://etisalatprize.com/unforeseen/ |

Please people, I need your help to win the Etisalat Prize for flash fiction literature. As I step into the house, it’s empty. At least it feels so.

ENIMONEY:Dear! Coming to my thread and criticizing my story saying urz is better, mehn! Thats not the best. U should have simply posted the link there or better still create a thread and urge people to vote 4 urs also, not criticizing mine to draw traffic to yours. This's my pioneer fiction, so i definitely expected some flaws and by the way i composed and submited this on 30th Sept few hours to the end of submission. Meanwhile i wrote this fiction for the easy understanding of everyone esp the young ones to communicate a moral lesson bout CONFIDENCE just like parable of "The Prodigal Son" had a lesson to pass. Learn ur Lesson Sis as i pray we will be among the top 3 so we can meet over there at the awards, Cheers. 1 Like |
