You have plastered a wide smile on my face... I hope that spoiled brat finds out he's got a doll of a wife and two kids in tow! This is an excellent read, friend. I have related strongly to the characters... emphasis on STRONGLY ... Pat.

Oh, good grief, can you imagine. Yes, I could. Poor Ms. DoGooder is in for even more surprises when she gets off the plane. Enjoyed this story.

Writer.
I really enjoyed reading your flash fiction story. Your writing is concise and tight for great flash fiction. Great descriptive writing. Natural dialogue. I loved your narrative. I liked the ending when Miss Fashion Plate found out Miguel was the doctor. I laughed when he allowed all the animals on. An excellent entry in the writing prompt. The Longest Flight of My Life.

Very good. I like the style and the flow.
You did drop the inheritance thing and then didn't follow up with it at all.
I also think it could have been better with out the sexy bit. She can be high fashion and out of place without being sexual. I think it took away from the story.
You did do a good job at showing her confidence.

    Douglas,

    The inheritance was merely to say it was her last chance and she needed to be on the plane and the outfit was to show she was a rich spoiled brat, not a true volunteer. hank you for the kind review.

Hi Carol,

Read this story tonight too, didn't see anything to change, though it was a bit weird for plot, the leather skirt image. Dialog was strong, inner thought felt pretty smooth.

Sorry if I'm scattered on this one. I liked the slight twist at the end.

    Turtle,

    Guess all this purple prose lately has gone to my brain -- just wanted to show she was a rich spoiled brat with no clue as to volunteering...Smiles to you

Good entry. I like the Miss Fashion Plate and the missing the plane, but being rescued by such a good samaritan.

Although, I think it might be difficult to not have penned in animals on a plane. Pretty close to impossible, actually. But the story's good.

Best of luck in the contest.

Regards, anabelle

I enjoyed reading this story. It was entertaining from beginning till end. The livestock in a plane was a very unique idea. The surprise ending was great.

This isn't based on a true story is it!? I mean nothing would surprise me now a days. But seriously, I enjoyed this story. I see this is a writing prompt entry, best of luck! This would be a one crazy flight that's for sure! Take care, have a great weekend! Love Light Patty
