Excellent

Love the poetic and beautiful imagery of the 1st paragraph, followed by the funny 'bringing us back down to earth', 'C'mon, twerp'. LOL.

You then progress to Jimmy's sad future and death at the hands of vile torture. Very dramatic twist, but a whimsy and 'happy' ending for him and his sister as they return to their childhood bliss, together in death.

Good luck and best wishes, Ray

Whoa! Nice job with the stunning juxtaposition!! The seductive imagery of green and gold wildflower fields shattered by the stark greys of prisoner interrogation. . . that made me sit up and take notice!. With, at best 25 words left, I couldn't imagine where you would go with this! I was totally expecting you to burn and crash.

But damned if you didn't bring back around, full circle and end up with a compelling 100 word story!!

Very Nicely done. . .I really hate that I don't have any 6-es left!!!

(5 stars) = EXCELLENT. I would recommend this to a friend! I enjoyed the read and found both the content and the construction admirably accomplished.

No sixes are ever necessary when one receives such a wonderfully encouraging review such as this, Lorraine. I'll admit, I poured a lot of thought into this short story, editing and reediting countless times before I felt it was right. When someone gifts me with a review as wonderful as yours, it makes the all of the effort worthwhile.

Thanks so much again. ~Anonymous

What a beautifully succinct and tender story of a young POW, captured in Vietnam, suffering torture and degradation and finally dying and being with his young sister romping through fields of windflowers, with gentle breezes blowing, well done, I enjoyed this ultra short 100 word dash, good luck in the contest, blessings, Roy.

Nice short story. Great twist that packs a punch at the end. You used some beautiful Imagery which I am sure was hard to do having such a word count description. Good luck in contest.
