Hel commented on MosquitoFB6's wall:Another very strong comp entry this month. The horror of trench warfare, of killing or being killed. Brilliantly written.

Hel commented on dyslexic of dartford's wall:
Excellent comp entry D of Dartford. I could really picture those wrestlers in the ring from your precise, vivid description. A nice twist at the end, too.

by Hel 7 days agoThanks, guys. Kate was right about having to leave our comfort zones. I really did not enjoy writing that stuff. I supppose that's the great thing about these comps - taking us to darker places than the ones we normally inhabit.

by J.net 7 days agoThanks re the comp, Hel. Yours was a good, dark piece. Great depiction of the monster that can rear within a mother under those circumstances. -
by Hilly 7 days agoThanks for the comment on my comp entry, Hel. I watched a terrifying documentary about a young man who was attacked by a bear and should have died. I don't know how but he survived. Beyond words. -
by Hel 1 month agoThanks, everyone. Good point, Hilly. I don't think I've written anything happy recently. Really wish I could do humour or wit. Can you? I'd love to learn!

by Berks 1 month agoJust read your comp entry peice Hel, great peice of writing. Really loved the way the repeated paragraph at the end became infinitely more powerful. Great stuff.
