Fifty word response

It was my daughter’s idea to use AI. What if you were to scan published stories on various platforms and compare them to crime stories from various news outlets. Could self incriminating narcissists be found. I could only wonder what other nine year old girls were thinking. Gives me shivers.

The possibilities are chillingly endless. Nice use of your 50 words!!

Great writing, Barrie. You establish your characters really well through describing their likes, dislikes, flaws and mannerisms.

That’s so very kind, Matt. Trying to weave myself a little deeper into the characters in these longer tales. Gentle improvements as I go along. 💛

Barrie that ending!! I truly wasn't expecting it... what great writing, you had me from the very first paragraph, building characters and tension very convincingly. Bravo!

I’m thrilled the ending sneaked up on you, Susie. Warms the cockles of this writer’s heart … just what I was hoping for. Fun to write too. Thank you so much for reading.

Well that turned down a dark alley that I hadn't noticed!

Aw, thanks so much for giving it a read, Sue … I suspect that’s what I was hoping for, a few wrong clues and a sleight of hand. I do like a twist in the tail (and the tale!).
