Abandon (Short Story) - 1/31/2003 6:46:42 PM
this one is good but it is too short. A good horror tale should be made into a four page turner of white knuckled imagry.

Contact My World (Short Story) - 7/5/2002 1:57:45 AM
I like this one a lot -- good touch on the "little green men" theme. You'd like Oct 13, 1993. It is an exclusive here then a new poem -- then there are some on my main website itself. But this one is a good write.

Blood on Snow (Short Story) - 5/29/2002 4:21:12 PM
This is a nice twist on "Red Riding Hood." Well written.

Can you Smell the Love (Article) - 2/27/2002 8:50:24 PM
I like this fast introduction to the subject. Just enough to make me think on the subject. I was surprise to find out that my favorite food,pumkin pie, is the romantic smell for me. Actually, I'd like a little more information and length from this good article.

This quiz is amazing! It is 100% accurate! I scored 25 points, and I am neither a vamire or a vegetarian! I love dead meat, but only after it's been thoroughly cooked and bled dry.

Descendant of the Light (Poetry) - 12/29/2001 4:51:38 PM
"Trying to find the light That should not be tucked away in shoe boxes Like store bought angels" I love the imagery in these lines. It has that stark poignancy that I, as a writer, always search desperately for.

You are so right Valerie, beauty comes from within of a person. The phrase "You Are Beautiful" being said from one person to another always hold special meaning and insights from the speaker. Wonderfully said in a few little lines. Sandie Angel :o)

Haunted Days (Poetry) - 11/29/2001 5:29:35 AM

Walls of Flesh (Poetry) - 5/27/2001 1:19:27 PM
Dear Valerie, I think perhaps there are more wounded spirits here at AD than we might realize on first glance. It is hard, though, to speak of our wounds, no?
