I know I’ve said this before, but this story is a little weird. Let me know what you think.

Oh, so clever. You’re so good, David! This is a historical data on Orca for all time.

Thanks Amy. 🙂 I’ll have to write his whole history sometime.

I heard they made a movie about him…it was pretty bad. XD
August 23rd, 2015 at 8:42 pm
hehe. 🙂

This is very different, David, but I think it has some real merit. Not my favorite of yours but enjoyable nonetheless. I enjoyed the trip back in time.
All my best,
MG

Thanks, MG. I always appreciate your honesty. I think this idea would have worked better in a bigger format, perhaps.
August 21st, 2015 at 11:37 pm
What a great take! Loved this!
August 23rd, 2015 at 8:40 pm
Thank you so much, Dale. Glad you liked it.
August 22nd, 2015 at 12:45 am
Unbelievable… fantastic take, David.
August 23rd, 2015 at 8:40 pm
Thanks Ted. I appreciate it.

I think it’s a great presentation, but I’m a bit puzzled by the historical aspect of it. I suppose it represents his reincarnation but the leap from 1894 to 1966 seemed a step too far for the pace of the rest of the story. I agree though, it’s a terrifically innovative approach to telling a story and to dealing with the prompt. Well done.

Ideally, Sandra, this would be a much longer story with much more detail to it. It is a big jump and I realized it didn’t necessarily make sense, but alas for 100 words.
August 22nd, 2015 at 2:43 pm
I’d say this story is exactly the right amount of weird, for me, at least. I especially like the reverse history angle.
August 23rd, 2015 at 8:37 pm
Thanks Joy. I considered doing it the other way, but it seemed to work much better this way, in terms of revealing things.
August 22nd, 2015 at 9:36 pm
I loved it.
August 23rd, 2015 at 8:37 pm
Thanks. 🙂 I’m glad.
August 23rd, 2015 at 2:35 am
Haha you made me laugh!
August 23rd, 2015 at 8:36 pm
Good. 🙂
August 23rd, 2015 at 4:36 am
VERY creative and interesting, David! I really enjoyed this. Took me outside the small world of flash fiction. Bravo!
August 23rd, 2015 at 8:36 pm
Thanks Dawn! I’m glad you liked it. I like it but I realize that with something this different, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.
August 24th, 2015 at 12:52 am
Thankfully, not everyone drinks tea my friend! 😉

Oh David, Dear David,
If I could write a standing ovation I would. Such a clever presentation. To say more is to detract. Brilliant!
Shalom,
Rochelle

Wow, thank you so much Rochelle. Your comments always make my day. Glad you liked the story.

Oh this is like a strain of pearls.. together a necklace, so very very creative.

I absolutely love this, what a marvellous, creative idea. And I loved the images you chose for each year. Perfect. As you see, works for me. 🙂
August 24th, 2015 at 11:04 am
And the places, forgot to mention the places. This one’s a keeper!
August 30th, 2015 at 7:23 pm
Thank you so much. Actually, the pictures took longer to find that the actual writing. It’s fun to try different things sometimes. I like how this one turned out too.
August 25th, 2015 at 2:30 am
eerie!
August 30th, 2015 at 7:22 pm
Thanks! That’s what I was hoping for.
