Very nicely done here. Good writing on display, and while the ending is somewhat telegraphed, that was no problem for me, as I liked how you got to the ending. Kudos on the solid one pager.

Best of luck,
Gary

Clever title. Even though I saw it coming a mile away, it was still entertaining. Good work.

Two westerns, so far?! Interesting....

That was pretty funny. Why is it the mysterious stranger though, it's the Chinese guy right? Anyways, nice job.


That rug really tied the room together.

I liked the start of this, great tone, but then the end seemed lesser somehow... decent effort in a difficult genre though.

It’s okay, not much of a payoff really.

It’s still fairly enjoyable.


Any thoughts on my work in progress would be appreciated.

I wish you showed us the peeing guy was Chinese. Would have more of a punch this way I think.

Even though I saw the ending coming, it was still a good short. Good writing and dialogue.

Props for the John Wayne pseudonym. Thrifty writing and funny (though, in reality, the Chinese were hard-workers on the Transcontinental Railroad; maybe Cameron the history teacher will correct me if I'm wrong about this).

With the straw sandals, I think you made it clear that the pee-ers were Chinese.

Thumbs up.

Yer' In Over Yer' Head

Pfff, what a silly episode. As a Story, it does work though. However, I'm not sure if it's enough as a today's piece since these are bygone conflicts - so no clue if there's still an adequate identification concerning the right and wrong attitude lurking behind. Still interesting, with a funny payoff-

Another damn western.

I enjoyed this one more than the last, but it’s still a very simple payoff. It was okay.

Quoted from JEStaats
Clever title.


Can. Not. Unsee.

And, yes, it was quite obvious to me who the pee-erpetrator was.

Glass House (Horror anthology)

TV pilots:
"Kord" (Fantasy)
"Mal Suerte" (Superhero)

A bit disconnected for me - I think I need to know who was pissing.

Writing was good - nice visuals.
