Very well written, with its fascination with the dual nature of eros and thanatos, its suspense and exposure of a "petty burgeois" world of delusion. An excellent and very readable text.

I need to read more stories. This kept me reading until the last line. The drama, the sensual, erotic love they both had for each other, the scenery, the dialogue, the images of the people, are all so authentic, it was like I was really there seeing all of this. The secret lives of this couple remind of the movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith. The action in this story is fast paced, and deserving of a book length novel. Thank you Mari, for sharing, and I really enjoyed reading this murder mystery. You have really outdone yourself.
May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie

This story is like a series of impressionistic paintings, crafted with great gobs of oily colors. A feast for the mind's eye.

A very intriquing account with many possible implications, tear drops can be manifestations of sadness or joy, a premonition of things to come or a symbolic revelation of a distant past yet to be discovered. Nothing in this world happens by accident...there is a reason & purpose divine or otherwise that guide the lives of souls. May you find your anwsers Mari, as the wind whispers it's secrets to those with spiritual ears. I wrote a poem once titled "Silent Rhapsody" which you might enjoy when time permits. Peace to you always & God Bless!

I loved it.

Hiya, Mari. I'm up late tonight back to my vampire ways. Don't know how I missed this one. LOL. Truly exceptional, and take that from someone who's read a lot of horror over the years including Poe, Anne Rice, Stephen King, Shirley Jackson, plus mystery novels, etc. Not to mention my share of erotic bodice rippers. Hehehehehe. Your writing here is rich and detailed, imagery vivid. Heart pounding erotica, lady. What a treat! ~~Nordette

Well, it seems that I am late reading this, but better late than . . . Well, you know. First-rate writing went into the construction of this wild and wooly tale of double-cross, hoever inadvertently, is still double-cross. the fact that you took this story and put it in the 1800s gave even more aplomb to the story. You wove the intricate plot very expertly and carried the tale inch, by incriminatly inch, to its cresendoing finish. Well done. Three cheers. Take a well deserved bow.

I enjoyed the way you placed this in time with appropriate language. i agree with Aberjhani about the echoes of Poe but would add that there is a bit of Frank Harris here as well.
Slice of Life (Short Story) - 7/14/2005 2:45:21 PM
An exquisite literary nightmare worthy of a collaboration between the pens of Edgar Allan Poe, Patricia Cornwell, and Ann Rice. This dark feast of suspense and irony is rendered with as much attention to the damaged souls of the painfully deluded beautiful villains as it is to the details of the historic period in which it is set. Writing horror that genuinely entertains is a worthy accomplishment--writing horror capable of showcasing the most humane within us even while it shoves the worst within us directly in one's face is something of a small miracle, such as we have here, in this sinfully tasty bittersweet SLICE OF LIFE.

I would call it, "The Encyclopedia of Emotions and Imagination".
"Slice of Life" is art of applied imagery, lexicon of diamond words,
(Not for Hardness, but for sparkling.) and a true FLOWER of the literary garden of the twenty-first century.
The Board of the Pulitzer Prize won't need to think twice to elect this piece for 2005.
I enjoyed this "Slice of Life".
Thank You for showing the world how the
greatness of America is made of, and for sharing Your jewels.
Long healthy life.

You wove this story to its final conclusion, and a just one it was. Daring and sensual. Well done Mari.
Gone with the Wind (Short Story) - 7/9/2005 3:29:50 PM
Your clean, crisp writing style generates additional power in this piece. I am reminded of being seated like amusement park guests in one of those rides that moves inside a movie-screened tunnel. The scenes go by faster and faster, and though my car creeps along the rail and I know it's only creeping, I still fall into illusions of speeding. Likewise, your story builds in momentum, and we the readers are propelled by verbal hurricane gusts. You inform and keep it interesting. Now as we go into a new hurricane season that threatens to be equally as devastating as the last, "Gone With the Wind" blows through us, stirring apprehension. Fantastic job, Mari. Wonderful use of bird object lesson focus and resolution. ~~Nordette

A remarkable experience, Mari, told extremely well. The images are fresh and the descriptions clean and believable. I especially liked your description of your mother coming into the room to investigate. She sounds awesome. As Linda said, your experience sounds much like one for "Outer Limits." So many strange things happen in the wee hours of night. ~~Nordette

Excellent parade of images. You have a great eye for detail, and a gift for breathing life into a scene. You're beaches open up and swallow the reader whole.

The beach certainly came alive within my soul as I read the breathtaking descriptions of different places. Yes, I have lain out at night and stared up at the heavens. The feeling one has is, well . . . Awesome. Great write.

Such a glorius review of stunning short beach stories blended into a single genre of beach writing, made me reminisce of my own fond beach memories from up her in Nova Scotia.

An absolutely stunning tribute! Where have your words been all my life? Sometimes... to see the light, we must traverse the darkness. (I'm sure someone must have said that already, but your words made me say it just now). I love every bit of this endearing tribute. -- Jeff

Wasted scarred years---is from the heart of my heart, in this and in another context.
I know expertly the stony barrenness the poem's protagonist is facing, where she should be facing love; life. Just do not ask how.

Mari...fantastic write....splendid verses....love n luck....BHUWAN
.through the lingering ache of
remaining in one position for too long
one of us agitates the
stagnant quagmire
we cultivated
through years of paying homeage to the
fraudulent reflections we
saw in everyone else's eyes
while closing our own
agitation
