This is amazing!! It is the toughest thing in the world to write a story with a message, especially in such few words. And you, have done a splendid job of it! Hats off! :)

Ouch. I've always liked the idea of stories told in only six words - when they're done well, like this one, they often are some of the most hard-hitting. Nice job, I know these aren't as easy to write as they look. You gave the readers just enough to fill in the gaps. Big thumbs up for you!

*catches thumbs up and quickly puts in pocket* ;) This was my first time trying one so I'm happy that you like it. Thank you for all your encouragement!

Now this one appealed to me. Shows more, talks less, leaves the mind to imagination.
Clever; I like the concept but not sure if I'll attempt one.
Good write.

Originally "Dad" was to be "Father" but for some reason the website won't let me post it that way and thus most of the impact was lost. :(
But I'm glad you still enjoyed it! :)

Hahaha, lol. Write the original and leave a disclaimer.. This was something new..

[Anuradha Verma]

Alright, I feel like an idiot for asking but, pardon? I didn't get you..

[Stonz P.]

Don't fret over it.
Hint:
What are the priests of the church called?

XD XD Nice! I thought it had to do with something like that but I wasn't sure.
