Life Beyond Dreams © 2017 Joe Vojt (Short Story) - 11/20/2017 7:22:28 AM
There were three stories that ended abruptly with no real conclusion, and then you moved into an essay or article about what those three stories may have been: dreams or reality? I would have read many times for my logical, engineering mind to grasp exactly what you are trying to purvey with these truncated stories and question marks about whether dreams/fantasies are real or not. A couple of typos here and there distracted my reading. Ron

well written

Life Beyond Dreams © 2017 Joe Vojt (Short Story) - 7/31/2017 6:08:24 AM
I read the three little anecdotes with interest, wondering if they were connected in some way. But then I found a long discussion, or article, on the value of dreams. I know you repeated, and tried to make sense of these strange phenomena through dreams, but you didn't quite connect with me in the process. Ron

Music On High © 2017 Joe Vojt (Short Story) - 7/2/2017 4:46:33 AM
Hallelujah! There are some places where young people in each generation learn classic music and pass it on to the next generation. It is interesting that many of the great hymns were originally bawdy tavern songs that were cleaned up by adding church approved lyrics to the melodies. Ron

Swing of Life © 2017 Joe Vojt (Short Story) - 4/24/2017 3:47:45 AM
Some interesting observations while looking at this photograph of a hammock placed between two massive trees. If you actually hang out at the spot, you truly are lucky, indeed. Ron

The Door To Nowhere © 2017 Joe Vojt (Short Story) - 2/22/2017 9:52:16 PM
What a powerful story.It catches me !!

The Door To Nowhere © 2017 Joe Vojt (Short Story) - 2/22/2017 6:01:42 AM
Many more questions than answers. I'm not sure I want to go nowhere, but, in a sense, when we die we leave all that behind… The sky, the green grass and the flowers overflowing the old rusty wheel borrow. We all enter that door to nowhere… And there is no coming back. Ron

Death of Industry © 2017 Joe Vojt (Short Story) - 2/14/2017 6:24:21 AM
Many people worked for low wages long hours under dangerous conditions in those old brick factories. Time has a way of softening what was really a very hard life with only holidays, Saturdays and Sundays to break away for real life. Ron

The Twilight Prophecy © 2017 Joe Vojt (Short Story) - 1/9/2017 6:38:00 AM
Enchanting tale of the contrast that is growing between the "civilized" and wilderness parts of the world. I'm still wondering whether he was dead or not because you did mention him being underground at one point. And, the machine was either digging a grave or digging him up. I'm not sure. Still, food for much thought. Reading made me think of my life and the opportunity I had in 1969 to follow my mentor to GTE headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut where I might have climbed the corporate ladder to a different world than the academic world that I chose to work in. I always, from early experience in my teens, loved the wilderness and wanted to live there. I owned a cottage once on a West Virginia mountainside overlooking a beautiful, but acidic, lake. And later built a solar passive home outside Atlanta in the forest. When we lose touch with nature, we lose touch with our inner soul. Ron

Winter Glory © 2017 Joe Vojt (Short Story) - 1/2/2017 7:30:10 AM
Very poetic and interesting to read. The story of one winter day. Ron

The Lost Waiter's Of The Night © 2016 Joe Vojt (Short Story) - 10/17/2016 6:51:44 AM
Aside from some colorful descriptions of Halloween costumes, this is certainly no Hotel California and your story has no punch. There were also a number of wrong words; perhaps inserted by voice system for dictating stories like I do. Ron

Memories © 2016 Joe Vojt (Short Story) - 10/10/2016 4:42:48 AM
A very insightful essay/article on the inevitability that we all face in due time. Ron

Beyond the Turning Point © 2016 Joe Vojt (Short Story) - 9/24/2016 3:23:08 PM
Sadly, my own father was taken too soon. He had made plans too, but they involved providing for his family and projecting into the future rather than tying loose ends.

Beyond the Turning Point © 2016 Joe Vojt (Short Story) - 9/24/2016 10:19:35 AM
You have told me before that a story you wrote is not about your life. This one certainly seems like it is. If not, it's a story that gives one a great deal think about. I often wonder why my father did the things he did as he retired and moved toward the end of his life. Ron

Spiritt © 2016 Joe Vojt (Short Story) - 8/8/2016 5:39:13 AM
The timeframe in the bio disaster with this ramifications seemed rather highly unrealistic with a lot of repetition that made it hard to read. But in the end, the mother found her son, and that's all that mattered. Ron

The Living © 2016 Joe Vojt (Short Story) - 7/11/2016 9:56:59 AM
Reads more like, "The Living Desert," and like the soundtrack of that long-ago documentary. There were many words that I didn't look up and don't know. I guess that was the Science Fiction part. Ron

Blacken Morning © 2016 Joe Vojt (Short Story) - 3/27/2016 2:09:26 PM
this is a fine memoir

Blacken Morning © 2016 Joe Vojt (Short Story) - 3/22/2016 10:45:38 AM
I can't help thinking that this is your story. It certainly is a story of tragedy that, fortunately, turned out all right. I don't think you meant, German Rich [Reich]. Ron

Discipline Writing Has Meaning, © 2016 Joe Vojt (Short Story) - 2/16/2016 5:52:42 AM
Your article has some great advice from someone who has been writing for a long time and faced all the obstacles that writers often face. Ron

Life and Destiny © 2015 (Short Story) - 11/25/2015 5:21:40 AM
Although I was about the same age and we were under rationing, I don't recall any stress like you express from your frightening and confusing childhood. It is so sad that your father was conscripted to serve the Germans in war and lost his life as result. I commend your mother for taking care of you through those awful years as best she could. Finally, I'm so glad that your research helped you find some closure about what happened to your father after all those years of wondering. Ron

Life and Destiny © 2015 (Short Story) - 11/24/2015 3:34:50 PM
I feel privileged to have read your personal account of life as you foggily remembered it as a child, bolstered by historical research to provide a framework and perspective. Sadly, oppression is rampant throughout the world, and this becomes the norm for children who adapt from day to day.

Dawn of Freedom © 2015 Joe Vojt (Short Story) - 9/16/2015 5:34:29 AM
Thank you for sharing with us childhood experience in a German labor camp during World War II. With a focus on the Jews, the problem experienced by Polish people forced from their homeland to work in Germany is not as well known. You are right that, as a child, we often easily accept our condition and don't feel that it is difficult, because it's the only life we know. I was a young child during World War II as well. We had rationing in many kinds of restrictions, but I remember nothing of it because I was only three when the war ended. Ron

Dawn of Freedom © 2015 Joe Vojt (Short Story) - 9/16/2015 1:00:40 AM
Your narrative based on your experiences during WW II brings that blight in history to life. Your parents' love is a legacy you've passed on to your own children from your "extensive journey." Perhaps you didn't fully realize it during childhood, though you sensed things were not right, but you do through the snapshots of your memory.

The Disaster of Sharing Management © 2015 Joe Vojt (Short Story) - 9/8/2015 6:10:20 AM
In this article in the stories section, you seem to be trying to tell us that there is something wrong with management today. I agree, but I found that your explanation is very convoluted and difficult for anyone to understand. Every once in a while you make a cogent point, but then you wander off into wording that confounds. Ron
