Hi Trae, do you only write war fiction?
It does have a limited audience amongst the younger generation which makes up a lot of ficly. In saying that I am struggling with a story on Hitlers son. (PURE FICTION) but throw in an eclectic lot of storylines amid these series ones. Ficly reminds me of Readers digest where you get a storyline in 1024 characters some good some bad including my own.lol. Tape your story or get someone to read it back to you. Listen carefully to stalls in the story or bumps this is where you will find it doesnt read too well. Keep up the writing.

Woah, a join date back in May and a first story in November?

This story is gripping. Perhaps a bit bland; like I’ve heard it too many times before. But well executed, certainly.

Thanks for the input. Fact is, I don’t write. I’m an engineer by trade and like ficly as way express a creative thought. I agree it’s got some bumps. I’d like to blame it on the 1024 character limit, but it’s most likely my lack of experience.

I had a few stories on Ficlets, those few and far between as well. So I joined Ficly immediately, and have waited for “inspiration”.

Thanks for the feedback. WWII is a favorite era of mine and I’ll probably add more as the mood gathers! I can do better!

I liked the way it is written as a diary entry. The first two sentences don’t seem to fit, especially the quotation of the word “Safe.”, but this a great start for a war series.

@Trae – Great job. This was highly evocative. Personally, I thought the first two sentences worked fine.

@Marli – Hitler actually had a son (his name was Jean Marie von Nipomuk Hitler, I believe). He was found during the course of the war and promoted to a high position in the Nazi regime, which he detested. After the war he worked as a railyard man.
