I love the play on ash and smoke and how the lines trail each other like smoke rising.

Wonderful existential moment. "Wood giving up the ghost" marvelous. I love the use of "ash" throughout.

This is a great example of Bob's wonderful work -- there should be more of his work out in the world! Thanks, PIF editors!

Evan's has an understanding of how people look at loss in their life. He is able to to explain these thoughts in a way that most people can't express. I appreciate the way he makes me think.

Thanks to your mom, you lucked out, Derek. Parents should always think about the baby becoming the adult carrying the light or heavy weight of his/her name. I know a little boy named Craven. When I hear his name I always think of the song from HIGH NOON, the lyrics ... or lie a coward, a craven coward, in my grave ... I also know a little boy named Slade. Maybe Slade is a cool name, but hearing it always makes me wince. Don't know why.

I really enjoyed this. I understood the protagonist, her thoughts, her feelings, her reactions. I liked the realism, too, that she "spent the money on overpriced housewares", not on her tuition. I also loved the focus of her major.

Fantastic job, Leah!

I'll keep this comment brief, in harmony with the article. This was a great look into the crafting of microfiction, and--if I were to guess--the future of all fiction. Ultra short is the new short and all that jazz. I'm learning microfiction myself over at The Drabbler, a collection of 100-word short fiction. http://the-drabbler.com/splat/

A very tender and honest account of what it is like living with chemical sensitivities and the prejudices of narrow minded individuals to it.

I recognise much of the material in this article. It's like walking through a minefield every day. The people who are causing the problem then label YOU the problem. For us, it's necessary to move to an area that minimises the risks.

Please do more of this type for us..Many of our former contacts are not believers and these may help to get the word out.
I want some of this type to put in the local papers,as well as where family, friends, acquaintances live. Perhaps in churches too as locally I am not getting a picture of believers there either , in this aliment. Or if thay might believe, do zip to make a chg toward it being a safe place for us..
thnx scads.. bw kok
