You spent all that damn time trying to help us upstarts understand third person and now you have me spinning in circles. But you do it so well, of course, we might know you let the girls have all the fun. Thanks for another fine read. :-)

Oh Mikey I am absolutely howling at this, murder, horror, fantasy. You have it all there.
Just one little nit.
Or, will you continue to suppress your true desires just to fit in, and hang out with the cool kids.(?) needed here.
Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Pantygynt
I would be totally useless as a detective. Detective stories invariably confuse me and this more than most. If I wasn't confused and bemused by the end of the story, I had completely lost it by about half way through the epilogue. However another emotion had made an entrance onto the scene. I had also become amused. In fact the whole thing was a totally chaotic comedy take on the gangster genre. Ever thought of stiocking to poetry?

Comment from barkingdog
I think everybody in Potlatch really enjoyed this final scene. Your's is terrific. I love the lady cop, Gloria, --seriously. haha.
You carried the scene off smoothly. Good pacing and the dialogue didn't interrupt the flow.
Suggestions:
-be careful not to over use the word 'as'. There are substitutions: while, when etc.
-Gloria retrieved her weapon and yelled(, "Freeze," while) firing a shot in the air.

Oh.... I don't need "as", kind of like "that". Good tip. I went a bit over the top with this. A fun challenge and a fun write. Thanks for a great review. Most appreciated. mikey
Comment from Barb Hensongispsaca
wow you nailed it.
You kept the division between the players as they struggled on.
Nice to read.
I started mine, but i am not friendly with advanced editor and where i could have used bold or italics, i could not get it and single quotation marks made it confusing.
so i guess i just review this time.

All you have to worry about is the "B" and the "I".
Highlight whatever you want bold and click the "B". OR, highlight whatever you want in italics and click the "I".
That's all there is to it. Practice it at least. It's good to get acquainted with advanced editor, it's better. :))
Glad you liked mine. Thank you.
Remember, there's no rush. We'll always wait for Queen Barb. mikey

I will try, but this 66 year old mind is still of the idea Clint Eastwood is still trying to find me.

I'll handle him, he's way over 70. In the real world he'll make MY day. LOL

I posted one just for you. I struggled with advanced editor till i wanted to scream, but it is a start. Maybe i should have written one about my confrontation with it.lol

Comment from Gloria ....
Well Mav, I'd say you've captured the third person omniscient POV. I find it the most difficult perspective to write, with first person, present tense the easiest. Maybe Russell will spring that one on us next.
Seriously? That Gloria chick seems to be fixated on her bubble gum. I guess being a detective will do that to a person. HAHA.
Great job with this. You almost wrote an entire novel in record time.
Excellent offering to the prose potlatch.

Well, Ange, Gloria just digs the gum, I think it helps her with her rhythm and aim when shooting and looking cool doing so. I just started writing and then I kept writing. It all got to my brain a bit. Too much fun. I'm shocked it kind of worked. Thanks a million, you're the best help. Mav
Comment from Pearl Edwards
Well mikey, I thought I'd read a couple of this week's Prose challenge to try to make some sense of it. Well hasn't that jst gone out the window or over the balcony with Edgar. Very funny especially the epilogue where you're wrestling with omniscient too. Great job,
cheers,
valda.

Comment from Thomas Bowling
Suspenseful story with a funny ending. Love it. I love a story that has a humorous twist at the end. the bubble gum scene is too much. I'm picturing her in my mind. Nice job.
