Excellent! I wouldn't put the exclamation point at the end though. No need for that and it detracts from subtle humor.

Very good job on something that is challenging! I liked the title also.

Now, this is good. It's impossible for me to do this! A whole story in TEN words? No way...but you did it. Wow. AND a timely message/theme. I get so mad when I watch the news. Best in the contest too! A.

A well-penned short fiction;
Difficult times indeed when the bank must resort to focusing on a different purpose to serve the needs of people;
Excellent!
I couldn't believe the prompt initially--"10 words or less", you have done well with this contest entry, mystery poet.

Pretty funny and certainly not without cause. LOL surely they could have found something better but I guess they figure they owe some people something.

ah the times we're living in. this is a real possibility, although i'm not sure they're compassionate enough to open as a soup kitchen, unless of course the soup is super expensive. nice ten worder. good luck in contest.

Hello author, You've penned a poem that's a sign of today's times with no winners ~ only losers, sad but true. As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck. LateBloomer

Very good. The two faces of the economic depression are really the same face! Curious that FS compels me to make the review three times as long as your story.

Good
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted

This cleverly-titled nine word story offers a dramatic sign-of-the-times turnaround. While these announcements set the stage for a good story, the lack of a human character (other than the bank/ soup kitchen personified) weakens its plot.

This rating does not count towards story rating or author rank.
