Points = 5 points

Story_author = The Hoard- Chapter 1 by Erik Bradstreet
Points = 4 points
opinion of the story and author = Erik, this is a very good story, involving the reader right from the beginning. I gave you only four points because for one thing, aren't the Orcans from another sci-fi story? I would have given these 'people' a name that hadn't been used before. There is also some editing required - if you would like an editor, send it me, and I'll do it for you. Great story, though, and now I'm waiting for Chapter Two. Alice

Points = 5 points
opinion of the story and author = I just about lost my lunch (spaghetti) when I read the last few paragraphs. I guess a writer's job is to make the reader feel the story - well, Mr. Gordon did just that. Maybe a little bit TOO well.

Poem_author = Darkened Dreams by Gary Gordon
