Thank you for sharing this piece with me. It's quite different than some of your other work. I'm not really that familiar with what this contest is about, since I'm not entering this contest.
Some of your descriptions capture the essence of the place in time. I know it must mean a great deal to you, because you spent lots of time there. I'm sorry about your animals. I have had many pets pass on over the years. They are like... Show more

All the best,

Your description took me back to the days when I used to wander through Regents Park, hand in hand with Nicholas, my boyfriend at the time,(also in the mid-60's jonmark222. Amongst other things the details about the grey, furry squirrels and the faddy ducks gave this description authenticity.

Thanks,
Jonathan

Hi Timji,
Just reading your newest story. I am wondering why you've chosen not to use quotation marks for dialogue. It confuses me a little. I find I'm not sure if your protagonist is thinking to himself or talking to another. The use of bold & italics also confused me.

It is for a competition that wants stories about places, so the place is the story and it is just my musings on the place. Like the idea about quotation marks. Yes I use the bold and italic instead of he said, she said, which I think is archaic in a world that is used to TV and... Show more
A very good vignette. I, personally, enjoy reading works of this venue, they are quick flicks of a moment in time. You've got the gift of observance, and make well use of it in this piece. Thanks for sharing. Elizabeth
