I really enjoyed reading this. The story had a strange... personality to it, a uniqueness that captured me. Reminded me of a time a while back when I had my own little "lemon problem" I dealed with. Life is.. interesting. Well done.
My Friends dad has a phobia of Ketchup. We played a prank on him and rubbed som eon the bottom of a door knob. he threw up when he touched it. I thought of him through out this whole story. It made me laugh XD <3
Oh, man, that was great. How did you ever come up with the premise - a man afraid of lemons? I kept thinking maybe you yourself were afraid of lemons, but whichever way, I enjoyed reading very much. :)
Creativity: A+ Who else wrote about freaking out over a lemon? No one, that’s who! XD
Grammar: Thank you thank you thank you for not making mistakes!
Pretty Language: Figurative language – GOOD. VERY VERY GOOD. SEE HOW I AM WRITING IN ALL CAPS TO EMPHASIZE MY POINT? =] x bagillion.
Did I love it? YES. My God, YES.
I was most definitely kept interested. To be honest, some of the entries had me…er, yeah. You get my point. YOURS, on the other hand, had that je ne se qua.
Another thing that pulled me in was the way you personified the so-called evil LEMON. The contents of the glass shifted and the lemon seemed to shake its head no, the smile never faltering. I was imagining this lemon twirling its porno mustache and rubbing its hands together, laughing its evil genius laugh. >_<
Oh yeah, I totally LOL’d when I read your piece. “I think he has erectile dysfunction, and feels the need to assert himself in the only way he can,” I mumbled, never taking my eyes off the plate. I think I nearly pissed my pants when I read that line.
ANOTHER THING, =]. You also got into the narrator’s mind, concerning his “problem.” You went into depth so I was able to understand what he was going through, which is difficult to do.
How do you not have a million coments? That was fantastic. You're an a amzing writer! Very clever and unique and definitely set far apart from the rubbish on here! Great details and descriptions. You have talent! Thank you so much for that wonderful piece of work! Anything else I should read?
Oh my, god, Lizz!! This is...amazing!! This story speak VOLUMES to me!! You have no idea!! Having unfounded anxieties, but not being able to confront them just yet. Just...amazing. The routines you fall into. God, this was incredible!!
I really wasn't expecting a story like this when I clicked the link in your journal. It just proves that I really need to read more mibba stories, because this was excellent. I love stories like this, simple, interesting, and a little bit odd. I always aim for things like this when I write, but I can never get it quite right. I'll definitely be reading more of your work, because really, I don't think you could change much about this story to make it any better. Usually I can name off a few things, but in this occasion I love this story just the way it is.
